BMW E30 M3 with Honda VTEC Motor Swap Gets its Day in the Sun

- “#SEMA ready” is a concept we understand very well at Hoonigan. It means it LOOKS finished but it don’t run! All the same, Faruk Kugay’s put a ton of work into his ’85 E30 M3 with the end goal of making it street legal despite having a big ol’ Honda F20 VTEC engine! He’s outfitted it with a Pandem wide body kit, Rotiform IGS wheels, and a minimalist and CLEAN interior. You might recognize Faruk from Netflix’s Hyperdrive competition show or from his heats in the Formula Drift circuit, but he and Larry Chen go wayyyyy back. Enjoy their lake bed photo shoot!

Absolutely beautiful; absolutely clean. That engine bay has so much room. It’s amazing because that F20 /S2000 engine is sooo reliable and has sooo much power potential and still C.A.R.B. compliant.
Great job. Can’t wait to hear it open up.
Larry Chen always connecting with cool builders and the cool cars they birth.
That is a Larry Chen, staple, every video ,the car guys ,you know, if you lived close by, they would be a friend !
I think you're absolutely right. He comes off that way. Bet he has awesome stories about builds we haven't seen. I could probably spend hours talking shop with him.
Imagine if the EPA gets it's way, say goodbye to great builds like these, time to step up peeps, time to stand together.But yeah love this, i was born in '86 in europe so yeah these boxy classics just are and always will be special to me, e30 m3, merc 190 evo, lancia delta integrale, audi sport Quattro and the list goes on.👍✌️
I was born 86too in England
Don't worry, those days are coming. No matter how many petitions yall sign, your days are numbered.
@@PooRadley There is a high probability there will just like when and if that happens people will be paying alot more taxes because of the businesses the EPA destroyed by doing so, people tend to forget that thanks to motorsport we have todays technology and innovation in the automotive industry and also car companies became big because of that motorsport aspect.Times will tell what the future hold, but seeing in what troubles china is in right now whith their EV battery waste problem it will not be good one way or another if people keep driving cars.
Will you guys look at the EVA'S engine swap guidelines?
The EPA only has a problem when you disable emmission equipment, if you swap ALL emission equipment from the donor chassis you're completely legal.
What a car and what an owner 👍 thanks for sharing this build with us, can't wait to see it running. Cheers from Germany
Thanks man
Oh my God that is so clean it's absolutely beautiful. Those rims are trick.
One word "Perfection".
Right on!
What a super humble cat. Beautiful build.
Thanks Mike
My take away. Was race cars are dessert. The daily tunner car is lunch. Love that wording Faruk. Norcal boyzzzzzz
Hold on... i got you. " BMW E30 318 with Honda VTEC Motor Swap Gets its Day in the Sun"
Really want to see this fired up and driven gotta have him back on!
Right. We don't even get to hear it or see it drive. What a waste of time.
Yeah, looking similar to a M3 doesn't make it an M3. I love E30s, even when they aren't Ms. I have a swapped 318is. This guys build is awesome. Love the idea of this swap, these cars love a smaller engines.
Agree.
E30 owner to E30 owner, I agree as well.
E30 has a perfect 50/50 weight distribution. In my opinion putting anything besides a 4 cylinder thus throwing off that balance is how most people ruin an e30.
Nice 318is
M42 is underrated
That's NO E30 M3. Love the F20 swap though.
Was hyped when I saw the title but sad to see it Wasn’t an m3. Still looks like a BLAST!
Check the back window and bootlid.
That car is absolutely beautiful. Awesome build 👍
Fact!!!
This is a amazingly simple looking build , this is one of my tops for 21” 🖤🍻💯🙇🏻♂️
Thanks man!
I have a E30 Touring with E36 M3 engine swap plus A E30 318is style swap! Now seeing this car just make me tingly all over!
Faruk and his team built one amazing car! Dude seems like such a cool person to be around, a real humble guy.
man they werent lying when they say u cant see everything at sema. Thank you for the review Larry
This is sweet! Love f swaps into older bmw like the 02 and e30.
This is lowkey my dream!
E30 GARDAŞ
Haha :) begendin icin saol!
Love the outros please don’t change it
Thank you Faruk for giving Machine Gun Larry a chance!
Faruk's "cruiser" looks like a race car #becauseracecar
He’s an incredible human :)
cant call this an M3 when its a 318
Some awesome builds man!!! This gives me ideas for my e30!! 😜🤟🏼 Would love to see more contents about this.
First comment 💪🏼 🔥 But deff 🔥 BMW /HONDA Build 9k Rev limit is jus the way to go for sure so keep hating haters lmfao 🤣 ✌🏼
Such a cool build, love me a 318 that can keep up with an M3
This is such a FUCKING BEAUTIFUL build
I love it. I have the same idea. I bet you it handles super great on track.
Insane! This man has a gem ❤️
this makes the man parts tingle in ways i didn't think it could
Watching this and listening it all makes sense on this build! Great job 👏
Beautiful Vehicle to say the absolute least. Rolling Sculpture! With a Soul!
I couldn’t tell that thumbnail was from a video or real life. Anyways great video
Not an M3, but still super cool.
I really like this build, great looking car with a brilliant engine.
I like that he did the s2k swap instead of the k20. Cool build fosho
Wow That Thing Is Beautiful Love Them Antiques Larry Chen Love Your Videos
A thing of beauty 😍
What a pretty car!
s2k motor approved seen this in sema and omg cant wait till my e30 done
Looks great...but why swapping one of the best german inline 6 engines and replacing with a 4 cylinder?!?!
Its not an m3 it was originally a 318i so a pretty sad motor
Both the 318 and M3 are inline 4s...
that 4cyl has won the highest hp/l ratio
'85 e30 m3 doesn't exist 😕 it's a 318. F20 is an awesome choice of engine.. in some way a more reliable and powerful s14
Thank god its not a real m3
I was going to say, it has c pillar and trunk but the fender kit is built for a normal e30 and you can tell the arches aren’t widened underneath
s14 is a great race engine but super expensive and not built for reliability. Glad he but a similar engine in it, instead of the normal, heavy m50 or s52
He literally says that right (at the 4:55 mark)? that it is an early 318 cause it has similarities with an E30 M3…
@@R1V3B2 it's a e30 318 with M looking parts not an e30 m3 cmon man
Dude that's just Awosome
It's running our f20c stage 1 mount kit. We have had our e30 running for a few years now and the motor was positioned there for more than just the oil pump/sump situation. We look at a solution akin to the other guys k mounts (long before they did it) and found a problem. Let's just say moving the motor back may not have the intended effects. Look at the old DTM E30 M3 race cars.
Two of my favorite brands, I love this
Fantastic vehicle
What a great build well done .😃👍
The E30 will always be my favorite…🥰
Very good swap idea and true to the spirit of hot-rodding.
I really need to build one like this
So killer! What’s the outro music o. Your videos?
Ok, i really dig this car...but why are we calling this an M3? Why not just call it a VTEC E30? It's like those dudes who slap M logos on their 318s...clearly not an M3.
also , where can i find the photo's you took of this car? i would really love it for my lock screen or wallpaper for my pc
The only reliable BMW in existence
I love this car 😍
I Love it!!!! Every thing is right on this car.
S2000 engine, i dig this project.
Patiently waiting for the Z31 video
I actually thought about this a few weeks before I saw this car revealed, I’ve always wanted an e30 sedan and I’ve got an s2000 that may need more body work than I’m up for and I thought swapping the drivetrain would be cool
I daily drive a 4 door with a f20c swap. We have had the kit out for a few years now......some videos too. This car is running our mount kit.
@@ANTIPURIST625 thank you! I’m subbed now
Hi, where are the fender flares from, please?
E30 Pandem V 1.5 sourced through Greddy
@@farukkugay5064 thanks Buddy
Title is a bit misleading. This was never an M3 to start with, and still isn't an M3 . Interesting that he translates pandem into M3-esque on a early 318 chassis.
I wasn't sure how to comprehend the word pandem, so I searched. Came across the Pandem C8. Oh wow. @nd Search: Are M3s wide? Yes, the fender is 20mm wider than the reg coupe. Learn something everyday.
@@griffin2820 there is still something to learn here 😁
It's not a coupe, it's a 2door sedan/saloon
Another nice build.
I do wonder how much the weight distribution has changed. That this sits a hell of alot mor forward than any bmw engine in an e30
My dream build
I need a daily drivable version of this car
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Now the engine will last longer then the rest
Cleeean
Odd how much of the same soul the F series motor shares with the OG M3 inline 4. Better power now but still screams to the atmosphere.
Awesome car. Anyone know the specs on the radiator?
Where is the sound? Revving? At least short driving video?
Yooooooo shits dope...
E30 F20 VS W201 F20!
anyone know the FC episode?
You're absolutely baiting people by calling this an 'M3' the only M3 Component is the trunk.
If I was a car guy and loved driving cars I'd move out of California in a heart beat F that place
Pretty sure this is not an m3.
What are the first three digits of the Vin?
Nevermind he said it was a 318i
Isn't the bmw s14 engine one of the best bmw engines.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Dream Car
🌠👍😉
where sound effect? I want to hear it
So do i bruh
Amazing
Good project. It is a pity that the car does not drive.
Is it just me or does that F20 seem to be sitting really high in the engine bay? The M20 or even M10 seems to sit way lower or am I just imagining things? Beautiful car tho!
Those tail lights look dope
where can i get them taillights from?
love it
"I can't stand sunroof on a track car" after constantly saying this isn't a track car 🤣.
I think us older guys (I’m 30) have it stuck in our head that “this is gonna piss people off” sure 1 or 2 argumentative people but idk if that’s really a thing anymore. As far as Honda respect has evolved and engine swap the world the car scene has become more tolerant of builds like this. Even traditionalists.
It wasn't a real m3 so I'm happy but I'm a k20 eficinado and I think it would be kinda stupid to do to a real m3 . Unless his engine blew and couldn't afford a new one . He even cut it up with them them arches you wouldn't do that to a real m3 But this ain't a real m3 so I like it . I want to put a k20 in a e30 it's common over here in Ireland for rally cars 👌💯🤙
@@PaceWorks it was a 318. Watch out for clickbaity title and description
@@papa_pt I was a bit early to the comments 😅😂 I fixed it 👌💯🤙
@@PaceWorks tbh though even if it was an m3 who cares. So long as its gonna perform better then anything should go
I am picturing this car with some White Fifteen52 wheels, just sayin
I am start putting s14's inside civics lol
S2000s this is such a nice swap bc F20 was already longitudinal
Just need $10k for an engine lol
Doooooiiiiiit!!!! Haha
Those wheels i want
BMW FROM 1988
I’m not a fan of people cutting their cars up for a short exhaust. So I appreciate the full exhaust
Purest are going to be mad 😂
What in the Tokyo drift is this?!?
This car is such a confusing car, m3 trunk, wing and c Pilar, but it’s a early model 318, and the bumpers and valance are facelift so confusing
This car is very similar to Chad (CB media) car.
Awesome build. It’s unfortunate that a goal in building race cars in California is to be emissions compliant.
Why does the title say M3? It's just an E30
