Hailing from Norway, this Bimmer is not your usual 3er. At first the car was covered in a blue thin layer of paint and was powered by a 2.3-liter engine that was powerful enough for anyone but not its owner.
Ever since he got his hands on it, he wanted to make something special out of the little 3er. The first thing he did was an engine swap, fitting a 3.8-liter M5 S38 engine under the bonnet, together with an M5 gearbox.
That wasn't it though. A lot of work was put into tuning the engine to purr and develop more than the stock 340 HP. Helge (that's the owner) did some custom parts by himself, like the radiator, fan, propshaft, brackets, engine mounts and gearbox mounts which have so far proved very hard wearing.
The exhaust system was built by a friend of his that is currently working for V:Bilmateriell, whilst the ECU was also remapped for better efficiency and a bit more torque.
The interior received Monaco bucket seats, a Sparco steering wheel and Momo pedals, whilst the exterior was painted in a dark shade of Bronze and the boot received a massive carbon fibre wing.
The one thing you cannot miss are the flared fenders. They increase the width of the car by 8cm at the front (on each side) and 10 at the back but they also fit the BBS rims better, since they measure 16x10 inches at the front and 16x12 at the back.
Sure, you won't see this car on the roads every single day, but when you do, you must enjoy the eye candy images it offers, for the short while you can.
