    I've officially joined the dark side Just picked up a '96 328i sedan that's been hammered in the rear. Have all the maintenance & service records since '99, immaculate black leather sport interior (other than the broken drivers seat from impact), brand new headlights, fog lights, sport wheels, all new HVAC/climate control electronics, etc. etc. Can't wait to snatch the engine and transmission out of it...

    Ti's look gay, there's only one way to even make them semi-aggressive looking and it's already been done...and i'm not one to follow someones foot steps.

    The only cars I really liked in the 80's other than the Porsche 930's were the Group A and B rally cars. Without the visible race improvements, from insane cages to graphics, they would be wolves in sheep's clothing. With what I have planned it will be a Group A Rally car.

    They are around, couple supercharged and turbo ones running around Atlanta but they're still gay...i don't know what it is, kinda like a guy driving a newer beetle, something just doesn't fit right.

    You don't even see them much on the track which I find strange, I would have thought they could be made lighter and more rigid then a BMW coupe

    That is an outstanding photoshop ...but I'm not sure I get the appeal of it...

    I mean it looks cool...but nothing special to an untrained eye. Is this something that exists or something, but not in the states? I'm sorry, I'm not at all trying to crap on it or anything, it really is an awesome photoshop, and I mean it is a good looking car, I just don't see why everyone is flipping their sh*t over it.

    Is it just the hatchback-osity of it that's causing the love?

    It's never existed, i just want something that is not common and bmw e30's in original form are all too common for me. Not to mention I love the M Coupe/M Shoe but can't see myself spending $20k on a stock vehicle to use as a play car when I could have a completely built E30 hatch for less.

    Honestly I don't even find the car all that attractive but what is comes down to it will basically be a Group A Rally car with the looks and similiar performance of the Peugot 205 T16, Lancia Delta, Renault 5 Turbo, Audi Sport Quattro, etc.

    Suspension $2k, custom brake kit $1+k, 193hp/207lbs-ft. donor engine w/ transmission $1,500-2,500+, 11lb clutch & flywheel assembly $1,800, Roll cage $2k+, donor body $500-1k, Precision GT30R Turbo kit w/ Megasquirt <$5k, etc. etc. Then you add in paint and body, details & finishing touches $$$...with a final product equaling 360whp/380lbs-ft. torque (low boost on stock engine) in a 2,200lb vehicle.

    Just for a fun little comparison:
    2007 997/911 Turbo - 480hp - 3,400lbs = 7.28 Power to Weight Ratio
    2007 F430 - 483hp - 3,196lbs = 6.62
    2007 Porsche GT3 RSR - 415hp - 2,700lbs = 6.51
    2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe - 520hp - 3,153lbs = 6.06
    2007 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano - 620hp - 3,482lbs = 5.62

    I'm anticipating 360whp @ low boost of 10psi with full spool around 2,500 RPM's in a 2,200 lb. vehicle = a power to weight ratio of 6.11
