This car gives off aggressive "I wanna go fast" energy. Maybe it's the fact the inside is a bit of a mess but the engine bay is clean and well put together that makes you look at it and go, "Yeah, we gotta go fast."

Just like an M3, this E30 is powered by a free-revving four-cylinder engine. Unlike an M3, however, the engine in this E30 did not come from Germany, but Japan.
More specifically, that engine is a Japanese-market Honda K20 that was fitted into the E30 using a KPower E30 swap kit.
Upgrades? There are several listed, including KW V3 coil-overs, a CSF radiator, Konig Dekagram wheels, Sparco racing seat, Schroth harness and a fire suppression system.
Find this 1987 BMW 3 Series K-swap race car listed for sale on Facebook Marketplace for $22,800.

In reply to Paris Van Gorder :
It's the tire sidewall/rim diameter/width ratios, I think. It looks like it was built for performance, not parking hard.
In reply to Pete. (l33t FS) :
I agree. A chunkier tire gives off a certain vibe. A good one.
It also seems like a chunkier tire is more "in vogue" than low-profile tires these days.
You know that I like chonky boi tires. :)
