Turbocharged 1987 BMW E30 Track Car

This 1987 BMW E30, dubbed 'Das Beast,' is a meticulously built track and street car. The build centers around an M20 turbo engine stroked to 2.8L with a M52B28 crank, featuring forged JE pistons and Molnar rods. A Garrett GT3076R turbocharger, Schrick cams, and a custom exhaust system are among the key powertrain components. The chassis has been heavily modified with Ground Control coilovers, Massive Lee brakes, and a Tilton pedal box. Exterior upgrades include a DTMFiberWerkz widebody kit and a 9Lives Racing 65" wing, giving the car a distinctive DTM-inspired look.
