    I'd say you have 2 options, 1) twin engine VR6 4wd option 2) sell Corrado

    It's a good thing they didn't start with a e30 Touring; it would've opened up a vortex of awesome so powerful as to suck every wagon, -amino, DAF, FAF, Citroen and LeMons car into an alternate dimension.

    Actually, that sounds like a fun dimension. Sign me up!

    Im sure this thing will be badass and all, but Im going to say:

    Save the E30 M3s!!

    Considering how much modification this thing is undergoing they should have just used a regular E30 and slapped the M bits all over it afterwards. Its not like it would have been a posermobile by any stretch with the V10 under the hood.

    @Fat Tire: Seriously.

    I've never been a fan of using the good/rare/desirable models for complete teardown/re-do extreme builds like these.

    My personal pet peeve is when 1st generation 4Runners get all chopped up to be hardcore trail rigs. If you're gonna do that, just start with a truck!

    Articles like this keep making me want to up the stakes on my project Corrado. It started with a supercharged 20V 1.8. Then I wanted to go to an Audi 4.2L V8.
    Now I want to try a W12.

    I need therapy.

    Wait... That's a 1st-gen M3? Aw shit, man, where do I stick my weiner?
    That thing is terrific, but I'd probably stop at a V8 even if I had the means to put anything I wanted in it (motor, that is).

    Glad I finally got the help I needed. My previous plan was:
    1. Get rich
    2. Buy E30 and 500HP engine
    3. ?
    4. Rampant hoonage

    Leann Rimes sang about this:

    Standing in the garage
    Looking at a giant pile of parts
    I can feel my heart beating faster as I cut out frame rails
    There’s new subframes and the promise of more horsepower
    I’m heading out tonight, traveling light
    I'm gonna cram it all in there

    And buy one way ticket on an overpowered car
    See how far I can go (Because I can)
    I'm gonna go out driving in the pouring rain
    And put a bit V-10 in the nose (Because I can)
    I will race the world around me
    Knowing that I'm strong enough to make it go
    And I will fall in love again
    Because I can

    There are countless great ideas that fall by the wayside due to poor execution. There are a great many poor ideas that come to existence due to great execution. There are very few great ideas lucky enough to be paired with truly great execution (and proper funding). This is a great idea paired with some proper fabricating know-how, it's a beautiful thing.
    This is why I hang around Jalopnik, crazy-wacked-out schemes expertly executed with pant-loads of pictures. I'll not be following the rest of this weeks articles, I'll be here drooling on my keyboard over the 74 glorious pictures of this wondrous beast.
    I can't see how things could get any better than this... Seriously, as if this wasn't a Wile E. Coyote plan to begin with, the crate motor comes in a box marked "V10 in a box". Orderd that from BMW? or ACME?

    Out of all the BMW V10 conversions i've seen i'd have to say the Hartge Z3 M coupe V10 still stands out as the most impressive

    Weight distribution and total curb weight? I wonder if this thing will be so heavy, and front-heavy, that it won't outperform the stock E30 around a road course.

    I believe the license plate caught in this photo to be serendipitous, the initial prompt for camera phone photography was the M3 turn signal, previously thought not to exist and even now extremely rare in the wild.
