Supercharged E30 Touring Wagon Making 470 hp at the Wheels!!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- We think Chris at Castro Motorsports is making some of the coolest modded BMW's around and here's another one from him that blew us away. It started as a 316 Touring Wagon and now it's a wolf in sheeps clothing. Looks like a cool grocery getter but it makes 470 hp at the wheels and handles/brakes/drives like a pure sports car.
Sit back and enjoy the wild ride here...

More E30 things. I’m here for it... E30 gang. Looks like Walkers build.
I'm not a BMW fan but I love wagons, and this one is cool!
I really love what Chris does to these BMW's. Looking forward to seeing more build's coming from his shop!
Me too and we’re starting to talk through the build today
@@AutotopiaLA can't wait! Might I suggest Laguna Seca Blue for the paint? Either way I'll be here for this build. Greetings from Portugal and best wishes!
Love that understated look. They do a great clean build. I really like everything you all post!
A red wagon with mtech 2 is understated?
Absolutely stunning build and the guy knows how to drive it too, burning tires in 3rd gear hell yea = )
I would definitely like to see you guys put together an E30 just to see what you come up with. I miss my E39 = (
I love this channel, there is so much diversity.
The E30 is truly the most beautiful car ever created. Change my mind
I’m not gonna fight you. I keep falling in love with them
Agree
I agree it's a thing of beauty but I have to stick with the Mercedes amg hammer wagon as best wagon ever.
I cant, M3 E30 sport evo is my dream (the biggest wet dream of mine is the dtm group A version)
GO for it .. an E30 will forever remain a Classic that started an Era
Will be looking forward to that Build
Cool to hear. Definitely doing it
I like how the A/C retrofitting part was like, meh, heh whatever. It requires some time and effort to do and then having to mate the e30 lines with the s54 compressor. Nice!
Dude into 3rd Yes!!! I'm spazing out. Dude. Chris can throw down to..
Shawn, all I can say is "DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! " Chris definitely knows his stuff. His results are just excellent. We've seen him several times on your show and he never disappoints!!
We've had 12 BMWs in the family since 1969 (8 of them mine). The last one (so far!) I've had for 9 years. It's a 2001 330xi, 3.0 M54 6-cyl, 5sp manual, all wheel drive. I don't know how many others would have an interest but I'd love to see Chris do his "magic" on an E46 330xi, manual. Stock, it's really fun to drive, partly due to the 5-spd that's 1:1 in top gear (no O.D. ). No one pays any attention to another of umpteen thousand 3-Series Bimmers running around so no one notices another black sedan until it disappears down that crooked road! BMWs were my 1st & 2nd cars after 5 motorcycles; I guess you might say I'm just a little bit "hooked!!"
You are seriously hooked! We’re talking through the build today and doing it! Can’t wait
@@AutotopiaLA Thanks Shawn, I'm looking forward to your progress! This will be a really interesting project for me.
Dude you have the best RUclips content.
E30 build FTW! I'll follow that for sure!
Good to hear. Planning starts on Monday! Can’t wait
Wow now that’s exactly what I wanna do to my e30 Wagon. What a gorgeous build, dream car for sure. Gonna have to give CastroMotorsports a call.
Oh a definite yes on a e30 project
Definitely give them a call
The E30 3 Series is the best BMW ever. Did exactly what made BMW famous in the first place. Perfect size, I6 motor (most models), smooth manual transmission option, rock solid built bodies and great handling. Simple and reliable which isn't something modern BMWs are known for.
DO the E30 build!!!! Castro Motorsports is amazing. I have been following their work since 1999 when I got my first E30. They are OG on all the forums. Would love to see video of their build
Meeting about it today at 11! Can’t wait to do this with Castro
It's already been said... but that is easily the most genuine "Oh, SHIT!" on the Auto webs. Killer builds. Please keep them coming so my E30 obsession may finally grow into a purchase someday.
Wow *"POWER"* tha car has Jesus that's ridiculous! Quality content respect bro - Dave Liverpool England 👍🏼👊🏼
Thanks and yeah, he built a monster wagon here
Dude...this is by far the coolest channel I ever came across just from watching other videos. SUBSCRIBED! Keep up the great work. Love the content!
Such a classic, absolute love the e30 content
Hey,I'm the proud owner of two e30s and I would definitely be proud to be the owner of that absolute beast.. Such an understated car.Pure simplicity at its utmost best..Respect to the build team for such an amazing job and for keeping another e30 alive 👍👍
Castro and his team do killer work! We started our project as of Monday with them
I visited his shop before. Cool projects at the time and still a big fan of Castro Motorsports.
Nice. He does incredible work and is really a cool guy
That wagon is amazing job well done guys fall in love with that wagon everything that you guys done to it is absolutely awesome thanks for showing the video please show more off all the BMW's that you guys have done thanks
Glad you enjoyed and yeah, Castro builds serious drivers cars
What a Stunning E-30 and better than OEM build. I love my E46 wagon but his one is my favorite...
I’m with you here. Monster build
Wow, you're having a e30 run there right now. Thanks for showing that! The e30 Touring was my first car nearly 20 years ago and althoug i have a e30 m3 now, the Touring is still my favorite shape.
I’ve fallen in love with them especially built like this and others we’ve shown recently
I used to have an e30 touring and I absolutely loved it. How it drove how it looked (mine was also red) and they are one of the most affordable e30’s.
Always a treat to see one of your videos. Thx u
Thanks for watching and enjoying it 👊
I am so happy Chris came in here and corrected everything. Chris if you see this then you know me haha. It's good to see your still going at it bro!
Chris is a badass 👊
You sir, earned another subscriber. This is first video of you'rs that I have seen, and it was clean. Good quality, fantastic car and perfect camera work!
Thank you! Castro sure builds some incredible BMW’s
Really great car.....AGAIN! That engine looks like it grew there.....the installation is SO clean. In my dreams all my cars are red....just....like.....this! Chris does awesome work on cars that I'm not even familiar with and, Shawn, you lucky dog.....you get to drive 'em. When I grow up I want to be you.....I'm only 73....Keep the Faith, buddy. P.S. Would make a nice little Camaro-eater, wouldn't it?
you hit the jackpot e30 content is always good content , casto guys are good guys and got some cool cars
That is one badass grocery getter. Castro does some amazing work, kudos to his whole crew. Can’t wait to see your build with them, really looking forward to it.
Starting today. Meeting this morning about the build. They do impressive work
Shawn bro Thanks man for keeping it rolling during this shit. I did rewind the intro 3x 2nd gear horror Efn Awesome car guys.. I want it...
yeeeees do e30 stuff, i dont care what it is just more e30 stuff :)
More to come I promise
So nice seeing someone respect someone elses property. I have seen reviews where the owner is almost crying and it feels hard breaking really.
Sometimes it scares me how some people can smash through the gears.
Can't wait to see a build on the channel
Chris is the man! works on my e30 m3 too, the best by far
I’m learning that about him. Cool guy and exceptional work
Chris did a great job on my stage 1 e30. Helmut Webb did a feature on issue #119 of Bimmer magazine. Thanks Chris and Castro Motorsports!
Chris Castro is a master builder for sure
Yes on that wagon!👍 Yes on 3rd episode! And definately yes on doing a build with Chris! Great stuff!
Awesome! We’re meeting today about it
WOW, what a classy build , really nice!
You never cease to amaze man. This another great 1, it's kinda all you do are amazing pieces. Of what i would call artwork. I wanna see yaal build a nsx
An NSX would be awesome but the entry fee is more than we can do now. First up is an E30 build with Castro
Guys, one from Germany here...sure we wanna see more BMW. All what you can do with your Cars, we can´t do over here.
We’re lucky with little to no inspection on older cars
you seriously have one of the best car channels out there.. maybe because you review so many E30's? this car had my jaw on the floor. keep up the good work brother!
Chris is a mad man! AWESOME!
Yes he is and so damn cool 👊
E30, two bucket seats, 4/6 points harness, rollcage, DTM style look, wide dish wheels and some Lancia S4 (turbo and supercharged engine) inspired build of monstrosity, under the hood. Just because you love Shelby rawness, Shawn.
P.s - and that would be great for Castro benchmark of the cars. Could even put that on E85.
We’re starting to talk through the build today and it’s definitely happening
I know, you are gonna enjoy it!
Would love to see that built, from scratch, highlights and maybe even separate speed build, like other do.
One warning thou, don't go too much in details, because, you know who's there, and you don't want to chase that white rabbit, and meet the Madhatter and others :D
very nice Shawn, nothin like a solid ShootingBrake showin the Saloons whats up.
Thanks and yeah, helluva wagon here
I really appreciate this one really blows me away I hope they don't kill this series anytime soon like the drive channel did with big muscle great work as always
We’re not backing down at all. Soon comes a 3rd weekly episode building the E30 with Chris & Castro Motorsport
What an incredible machine! Always had a love for the E30 chassis and this is just so tastefully modified
Agreed. Castro does such killer work and tasteful
one of my dream cars, the touring is amazing and this one is beautiful
This was done right love it n love to come dawn n get my e30 325is looking right
Very righteous build here
Love project builds. Helps us building e30s to see how other people over come things for their own builds
Soon you’ll be seeing one here. Chris will be showing us how to do it right
I like the project idea!
I'm currently building an E30 track prepped car. It'd be cool to see where your project goes.
It’s starting today. Meeting about it at 11
Hey guys just started following your page a few weeks ago, god knows how I missed this... fantastic work from all the guys building cars, and for Shawn for narrating on them.. it would be great to follow build with you all... watching all the way from Scotland ✌
Thanks for finding and watching us! Glad you like what we’re doing and soon we’ll be adding a 3rd weekly episode on the E30 build we just started with Castro Motorsports. It’s gonna be a little badass
Oh my god, this is delightful. Would LOOOOVE to take my e30 touring to the next level. Thanks for sharing.
Castro’s the guy for you then
Super fun and Chris is a badass builder and driver.
E30 build from around the nation is what the masses
Looking forward to doing this
As always great video and gorgeous car.
Thanks and I agree on it being a beauty
looking forward to the build!!!!
Me too!! Meeting about it today
Great video man, I was though how to drive in one of those when I was a teenager. Can't wait till one of your BMW projects
Soon my friend. We’re talking through the build today
Nice to see a build that is actually somewhat reasonable for the average Joe to be inspired by.
E30 is one of the best platforms for car enthusiasts ever.
Agreed. We started ours as of Monday. ‘88 E30, S52 with turbo...gonna be a blast
If you're doing a project car, may I suggest maybe trying to score a e28 5-Series chassis and drop a S54 or maybe a S65 into it. Make you're own version of the first M5. That would make for a dope car, nothing against the e30 , I'm a big fan of those too, you can't go wrong either way.
We’ve started. It’s an ‘88 325 getting an S52 with turbo. Should make 410 whp and be reliable and a driver car
Build series, uh, hell yes!
Awesome! It’s happening
Fully subscribed to watch the build!! E30 with Castro, yes! just subscribed!
Awesome!! We’re meeting about it today
I agree, what a great E30. when I hit the lottery, this place will be my first stop . Great job
Nice a e30 build. I love to see those
He does em right. They look great and perform with reliability. Castro is a badass
Love it, can’t wait to see your build !!!
Me too!! Planning starts Monday
This is German car heaven. I woukd take this over A LOT of cars

TİME 10.01 ; YOU ARE LIKE JOHN(LOCKE) IN THE LOST FILM..I especially follow and love the E30 contents.

Castro builds cool cars. We’re building an 88 325 with him now. We’ll show the build progress soon. S52 with a turbo
I’m a BMW fan and I love wagons, I got my e36 3 weeks ago and I really want to stop by to see what those guys can whip up on my exhaust system at castro motorsports in noho
E30 Touring is one of my favourite all time cars even the 320d with an M body kit is a great daily driver, classic.
Castro Motosport my new fave garage
And yes you should definitely to a BMW build 👍😎🍺
We’re doing it with Castro. Planning starts Monday and we’ll show the build happening weekly then go drive the tires off it!
AutotopiaLA brilliant 💪👍👍👍👍👍😎🍺
Awesome video!!
Thank you and an amazing build right here
Have you done an E39 M5 yet? Definitely a legendary cult classic German muscle car you need to get your hands on..
Not yet but we will at some point
BMW E30 MTechnik2 - The Icon!
👊
sick wagon
Completely badass
By all means do a build. The Practical Enthusiast did an outstanding and informative E30 overhaul/rebuild on here on youtube. He set the standard pretty high.
We’re doing it. Started Monday and soon will be showing the build progress
Cool tourer love a charged 6
Yeah, he built a serious badass here with reliability and ac
The best sounding S54 exhaust I’ve heard! Care to share the recipe? Currently I’m running US catted headers, DKF resonated section 1, stock resonated x pipe and Stromung mufflers on my Z4M. I’ve gotten rid of the rasp but I’m about to install a carbon air box, euro catless headers and swapping in 100 cell cats in place of the resonators in section one. I’m afraid it’s gonna turn into a rasp machine again.
Hit up Chris. His info is in the description of the video
I’m so happy I found this channel. I’m happy
OUTSTANDING
If your doing a e30 build do a m52 turbo build
On board for BMW builds...👍🏻
Soon I promise
Definitely do a e30 or e36 build I working on a e36 now with a s50 but I plan on doing a e30 once I’m finished
Beautiful BMW. Lets see a video on that blue 70 el camino in the back round.
Gonna get some things sorted out first but yes!
Nice 👍
A project yeah!
Here it comes!!
