If it were still for sale, do you think you'd buy it?

Honestly intrigued

This E30 M3 with an F20C engine conversion was up for sale on eBay but is now sadly gone. In stock form, the BMW had a high-revving 2.3-liter NA twin-cam four-cylinder engine but forget that because now it's got a high-revving 2.0-liter VTEC engine from an S2000.

The plot thickens

The swap alone wasn't enough for the owner and a TTRS supercharger was bolted on for more power in the little two-door. In addition to that, some 740cc injectors, an AEM engine computer, and a mild pulley enabled the car to make 365bhp. In the ad, it is stated that with another pulley and a map, the coupe would easily be able to make 450 horsepower.

Ready for the track

The coupe has a custom rear subframe with an S2000 differential casing and a 4:1 ratio ring gear. There are fully adjustable coilover suspension, new solid driveshafts, and PMC Billet aluminum E30 adjustable top mounts.

Carrying over the button was a nice touch

The interior is stripped down but features Corbeau seats and mounts, TrS harnesses, and a welded in rollcage. Piloting capabilities come via a custom steering system from E36 components.

Hopefully it's found a good home

The car was up for sale for about £15,000 but that's long gone now. The seller ended the ad by saying that funds are needed for a future 2JZ E46 M3 conversion project.
