This 1986 BMW E30 Coupe began life as a standard, six-cylinder model, but now sports a M60 V8 from a 1995 BMW 540i and a 6-speed manual transmission. Making 300 horsepower and 300 lb/ft, the V8 engine is enough to hot-rod up this E30 into a lively grand tourer with a cool soundtrack to match. The parts list is extensive so

Real owner, real build and really nice!
The wheels are not from a E36 M3.
Are from E46 with the M pack.
André Ribeiro you're correct, but I know which wheels he has confused them with. They are relatively similar
Yup, the E36 wheels he confused them with are called Forged M Double Spokes. I know they came on the M3 lightweight and I guess as a wheel option for the regular M3.
yup, I had them on my 2003 330i M sports package.
Yeah, Matt was totally on point with that. So many e36s have them that the owner must have assumed they were meant for the car.
yeah, 17" staggered. They weren't my fave, but they looked really cool when you get close, pretty deep looking. Definitely stock with that year's MSport package. I see them around town
semi regularly.
So much nicer looking these Bimmers compared with today's production.
I live here in N. Italy (I'm American) and I whole heartedly agree with you! I think the 2010 models were as future looking as they needed to go. The actual steel/chrome bumpers were nicely done and....RWD + manual transmission + driving skill=😃 Oh and the cops here in Italy have no radar in their cars....it's normal to drive 55mph in a 30mph or 95mph in a 75mph. I love these roads!!!
Arthur Wall the M cars are absolutely beautiful but most of the regular 3 & 5 series look the same
Thank you! Seems like every E30 video or message board post devolves into "I hate new BMWs because..." territory. I own an E30 and F30 and I love them both for different reasons.
Didn't even need to check his phone for the transmission, impressive!
He's heavy, but not a heavy G
I see what you did there. Lol.
Car sounds perfect. Not too loud and not too quiet. Just right.
Matt promotes Vincero watches and wears a Rolex Submariner in the same video. Lol
Bigchubby cause those watches look like and are cheap shit mate
Bigchubby it was a GMT Master II :)
TheSmokingTire GMT Master 2 BLNR Batman ; )
Cause it's a load of shit. Obviously prefers an empty check over actually pushing quality product for his fans. Aka the people who made it possible to even get paid from this channel.
lol, well that's because a Rolex is a nicer watch. Think of it this way, he can go out there and say that the BRZ for example is a great little sports car for the money and an awesome buy, but if you have a 911 at home in the garage, what are you actually going to drive given the choice?
Great car and excellent engine swap. A V8 in a lightweight car. I'm starting look for a 325 E30. Great video Matt!
Jorge Tamacas a heavy brick w only 300hp you mean ;)
Jorge Tamacas Reminds me of.... a prettier fox body the way its set up
Why a 325? save the money and start with a 318
325 has better suspension ;)
dirty thirty People are gonna switch the stock suspension out anyways I don't think that matters. Just get a cheap 318. Same chassis just different motor
Damnnnn that exhaust note.... Already so menacing from the 540i E39, but coming from a clean/stockish looking E30... Dayum....
The M60 came from the E34 🤔
It's a German Fox body. This is how BMW should have done it in '86.
It would have been kinda funny if M3 would have had 60hp less than 340i
@@DuBstep115 but i think its not well balanced as M3...
No. Just no
I have a V8 Swapped 1987 E30. Best thing I have ever done to my E30. It's a freaking rocket now.
I basically did the same thing he did, with a M60B40 from a 1994 540I, Getreg 420g 6 speed out of a 2001 540i, and a 3.24 LSD out of a 2002 Z3M.
The only reason why I started watching this video is that it's not another LS swap
Thanks for clearing that up, I was dying to know why you were watching this.
palmtrees bananapants I'm glad that you're miserable life is now a bit better thanks to my previous comment :)
of course, otherwise it wouldn't be the "odd ball"
slowsr20 2- ever consider commas and fullstops?
Zoltan Benedek ls is way better and lighter than m60 lol
You guys forgot to mention the M60B40 is also in the E32, have it in my 740iL, surprisingly provides a great amount of power to pull that 5200 pound tank. Can't imagine how much fun it would be in that lightweight E30, great build!
Poor buddy Mike. He did most of the work and drove 500 miles just to get curbed by Matt
lmao
Yea not even a cameo.. bad form
Yeah definitely an a-hole move
Invite Mike for his own shoot? I'm pretty sure he has a gem or two laying around. That build was inspiring.
Love the e30, love the fact y'all built it ourselves and love the fact u didn't spend 10s of thousands to do it! Thanks for sharing!
I like this guy, knows his stuff and has done a great job keeping an E30 alive.
Great vid Matt... and an absolute big well done to Chris for building his own car essentially.
I am not a BMW fan but I dig this car. One of very few BMW one takes I have ever watched. Nice build!!
Cool car, chill owner, and properly built. And not to forget the perfect clear looking day y'all driving in. 👍
What a sweet little Toy. Clean, tastefully understated and low-key, seems to have been created for driving enjoyment rather than showing off. Cleanup the interior a bit, add power-brakes and I would absolutely consider daily-driving this instead of my M5. Great Car Chris!
This is what I dreamt of doing with my old E30 back in 2000 when I lived in Germany near Heidelberg. Good on ya young man.
You have to admire this mans passion, and determination for the build.
Right-sized sporty coupe! Nice work Chris and Mike! Thanks Matt!
Props to this gentleman and his buddy Mike! This car is impressive!
Serious props for the headliner! We are currently swapping an S38 in my E24 and going the Hot Rod route so to see this AND see some originality is kick ass! You got my vote!
Wow, one of the best One Takes I've seen. These guys should be proud. If you got the money you can drive whatever you want but this was done on a budget and it's badass.
Impeccable build. Absolutely perfect in every way.
Definitely one of my favorite posts. Thanks, guys.
I love the one takes. I'm subscribed to only around 5 channels and I watch TST more than any channel. Good shit Matt. Keep it coming. I don't even mind your commercials. Love the car by the way. Nicely done. Bit of a sleeper.
When keeping it simple goes right. Congrats on a build.
This car is awesome. So is the owner. Love cars that are built by the owner. A lot more love and passion.
I'm very happy to see that conquest there!
a E30 that is not ruined, good job. and what a beautifull looking E30. congratulations to the owner :)
Sweet build...hats off to you Sir.
Subtle hammer - love it. Classy build. Props!
Really nice car and props to the owner/builder!
So cool amazing build, love the work. More BMW builds please
That thing is sweet, well done on the home build
Awesome job on the build
That car has seriously good looks, props to the owner!
Very cool that dude made all this in his garage. Great achievement!
Nice, fitted proper bass in the trunk with the air ride equipment. Respect.
Great video Chris, super nice 86 325i
Mad props for this Sac town screamin machino...representin Nor Cal...!
Really awesome build! It must have taken a long time to do all that work!
Seriously considering this swap myself really tempting after seeing this one and how sorted it is
Great project, good find Matt. Love to see this in a year. Supercharger and power brakes. Don't know about 550 to the wheels but yeah we always want more...
NICE build, I enjoyed this!!!
This owner is legit. Props on the build.
Awesome car, fun owner, great video. Well worth the ad at the beginning!
Frat boy Seth Rogen built a badass e30
Furkan Memon yeah I would never expect a guy like this to pull this off, shouts out though he really knows his stuff.
Haha my first thought too. WTF is Seth Rogen doing in a E30 on TheSmokingTire x)
If you close your eyes and just listen I think you mean Jonah Hill
LMAO he really does. I was just watching war dogs last night.
Check out the widowmaker video on carthrottle. That's a wicked fucking E30. Not hating on this e30 at all, but the widowmaker is the king of modded BMWs.
This is my dream swap in my e30, hope one day I can build one
what a sweet car, of all the cars you've reviewed I honestly say this is the only one I would make an offer on and straight up buy just from watching this...
thelocustemperor interested in buying?
Really awesome build! I bet it took a loooooooong time to do all that work.
He said less than a year
Great car, and MANUAL TRANSMISSION!!
You're doing a good job Matt.
I love all the E30's!!!
As a bimmer I’d have liked to see an M straight six but man, this swap rocks, fois job 👌🏻
getting the wheels wrong bro, those are e46 330i style 68s. i think there's some confusion here, you had it right matt.
Doublevanoz I think they came on both
They did come on the e36 m3 euro you guys may have had them later on the 46
@@clayp.e30_v86 They never came on the E36. The E36 M3 5 spokes received on Euro cars were the DS2's. The North American market and a few others received the DS1's
God I love those E-30's. You could sell many if pdisc power brakes were included. No nonsense driving machine. It must be a joy !!
Credit to the guy... he done it himself. I like it. Good work!
"Best part is its sleeper" ...arent all cars sleepers now, an accord goes 0 to 60 on 5.5 seconds, sleeper is now expected
it's not just about 0 to 60
Ah the M60 v8... my first car was an e34 540i, and it screamed just like this. Brings back memories of 16 year old me doing donuts😢 Man I miss that car
Sweet build!
I like your wheel choice those style 68 go great on e30 and e36 and z3's
Best project ever, love E30s.
BMW power. Nice built.
Nice to see a guy that knows a lot about his car.
You mentioned Akebono brake pads. I once tried them on my Jetta and must not have had the right type of pad. They were the right part number but they seemed to take longer to stop the car than the ones I had. I took them off and got a set of Stop Tech para aramid pads that are slightly better than OEM for stopping. I think they are even advertised as being more fade resistant and fading is a very common thing with many brakes.
"Vincero watches are some of my most favourite, definitely recommend getting one"
*Wears a Rolex watch*
Josef von Borcke his obviously kinda fake in many ways
Well, he also probably don't use the ball powder, but he'll still promote it.
This: perfect execution of an m60 e30. especially because of the 6 speed swap ! props, i want a turbo m60 swapped e30 with a pandem kit. #OneDay
NICE! a m60 swap instead of a LS. AND kept the balance in mind! GOOD JOB! NICE CAR!
really nice build
This guy seems to know what he's talking about.. but those aren't E36 M3 wheels.
hotwire96 that’s right, e46 wheels non M3.
Props to the owner. This thing is awesome.
Such a clean engine bay
love the build
Helluva build here
Daaaamn cant wait to see that damn starion!!!! Thing looks EVIL!!!!
I'm waiting for that starion or conquest in the background 😱
I drove a stock e30 325i years ago (except it was lowered a bit) It was some of the best fun I had in car at the time. I can't imagine how amped up it would be with a V8. But it must be scary fast.
Love his work.. But dude post that conquest!!!!.. I need n waiting for that!
Awesome E30!
I'm in love with this car
woww ! great car and the road looks verry cool to ! nice hill tour
A super-sano, show room condition E30 is in Canoga Park with this same conversion. This car is beat, but it's glorious.
Nice build
Great looking ride. ☺
Good job man !
I am really looking forward to seeing that Starion. Sweet E30. I love a V8 in a small car, especially when it's period correct and from the same manufacturer.
Yes, I'm waiting to see that drive too. I paused the video a couple of times to have a good look and make sure that it was a Starion
I think I've seen that one at a car show actually. It has a Corvette engine. Just search "Starion Corvette Engine" and you'll see it immediately. It just doesn't have the massive rear wing on it in the video and the decals aren't exactly the same now either is different. And that vent on the side is black now, but it's definitely the same car.
I can't wait to see that Starion...
he did that in his garage?!?! RESPECT!
very clean looking automobile :D
Quite why anybody thought that a widow-maker needs more power beats me! I had a 325i and it tried to kill me every time it was driven on slightly damp roads! It would try to swap ends in a heartbeat. I can only assume is in a hurry to get killed by it! Great car in the dry, lethal in the wet! Lost count of the amount of bends I went around backwards.
awsome car dude!!!
Nice. Looks and sound
Clean and beautiful 👏👏👏
very cool swap
Cool car Jonah Hill!
Love that it is not an LS Beemer on Beemer Super Nice Ride
