..::PSI::.. 1988 E30 M3 DTM Replica
While the majority of our exposure here on Bimmerpost is with the newer BMW models, as a full service shop we've seen just about every single year and platform produced in this country - and some from overseas as well. One of the best examples of our passion for the classic BMWs is this comprehensive DTM replica belonging to the owner of PSI. The result of singular vision and countless hours of hard work, this head-turning machine was featured in European Car magazine, and today gives our shop character and inspiration - plus seeing plenty of driving time!
All over the world enthusiasts collect 1:18 and 1:43 scale models of vehicles that define their own personal love for automobiles. Their collections shed light on the dream cars that they aspire to own someday. But for some, the models define what they currently own or what they will build in the future. Enter the Kurt Thiim 1988 Race Car: MOD LIST: S52 Swap w/ OBD 1 Conversion RD Sport RHD Headers Full Custom Exhaust Euro 3.5 HFM w/ 24lb injectors Custom tuning by Active Autowerke 3M Matte Black Complete Wrap 3M Matte DTM Livery w/ Custom Cut Matte Decals and Lamborghini Pearl Yellow Striping 17 inch Hartge 3 piece Wheels TC Kline Racing SA Coilover Suspension RECARO Pole Position Seat Enjoy the photos! |

Does the big tail work? If so, how much downforce and how much faster in the slalom, etc.?"

So other than the body shell, flared fenders, and some interior bits, this car about as many original E30 M3 parts as my 2006 E90 325i...

I had an E30 then an E36 M3. While the E36 has an engine with more torque, the sound of the S14 with a Borla or something similar is just awesome.
The problem with the S14 is tht they get tired and a good rebuild is on the order of $8K. Drop the newer motor in and put the S14 on a shelf.
