No E30 M3 in South Africa? No problem, you can build your own!
South Africa was one of the countries that missed out on the original BMW E30 M3. It was such a sore point for our local BMW enthusiasts and division that they went on to make their own special editions like the E30 333i and the iconic 325IS Evo I and Evo II.
But what if you could make your own E30 M3? That would be extremely rare in South Africa.
That's what the owner of this custom E30 M3 decided to do when he partnered with the team at Big Boss Auto in order to create something that is almost indiscernable from the original E30 M3. A lot of detail and custom fabrication had to go into the build and this is the result. Tell us what you think of the build in the comments below.

I wish I hadn't seen this beauty, because now I'm probably going to bankrupt myself trying to do the same thing 😂
😂😂😂 me too king
Dreams will bankrupt us..
😂😂
That's my dad
What a champ! We salute him 🙌
No love stronger than 🇿🇦 and the E30 What an amazing build. Hard work, insane dedication, precision personified ❤
Looks great and very different from the typical guy making an IS replica. So this definitely is unique. I think next steps would be making it make the power of an M3.
Smaller rim,nose dive drop 60/40 is whats missing here
Good on you man. Great build enjoy every moment
I would've built a 333i if I was him. To each their own though
Why ? Because it's easier ? Just a E30 2 door and a 733i motor , this is much more impressive way more work way way more unique
Whats stopping you since well you are not him. 🤷🏾♂️
Yeah it would bother me that the bumpers and vendors don't look correct or are fibreglass. 333i or a neat chrome with the Jimmy hill lip.
But it will be an easy build for 333
very cool build 👌👌
Nice one ❤❤❤❤
I would really love to see a race between all three BMW E30's. From start to finish line. 325is vs 333i vs M3. Please do a video for us with this specific race.
Wow. It’s great to see someone who has such a clear vision of what they want and it’s even better to see the car on the road and not an eternal project. Well done 🙌🏽
That always has been my dream car.
Amazing and awesome. Congratulations everyone 👍👍✌✌😍😍❤❤🌍🌍🌎🌎🌏🌏
beauty
Beautiful e30! I personally wouldn't wanna live in SA or Africa in general, but there is one thing I envy about those parts of the world: The cars are never rusty:). Here in central Europe, the cars are always very crusty :(
E30 M3 had a 2 litter 4 cylinder motor. It was never imported to SA and only made in lefthand drive cars
333i ftw but repli ///M 3 nice one
So what are the economics- cost of this build v. an original? mentioned affordability of an original upfront?
Am thinking of building 1..every 1 can build and own a 325is replica but e30 m3 only a few
Thank you for k the engine OEM and not even thinking of putting a 1Jz or 2Jz.
How much you want for this beauty if it's for sale?
Big Boss Auto have done some crazy builds over the years, the black Opel Astra Coupe` Turbo they did that was featured in Speed And Sound back in 2002 was the car that got me interested in modding cars...I took my Opel Kadett 1800is to them back in 2003 for a bumper mod and it came out looking evil as fu*k!!! Is Justin still at the helm at Big Boss Auto?
No sir he is not
@@teambasssa196 that`s kinda sad...
I should also not have seen this 😂 now im gonna build one 😂😂😂
Cool AF, I would just add a turbo and ABS
I'd really like a 333i replica
Building one at the moment
@@aaryanpoorun8891 What motor are you putting in it?
NEXT BUILD: E30 333
Front and rear bumpers are not m3,side skirts are moulded on the body which the m3 is separate
💯🇿🇦 WOW 😲👍🙌
The molded c pillar ruins it 😅
Really good but, you lost me at right hand drive.
❤🇿🇦❤️
E30 M3 shouldve had a 6 cyl anyway imo.
Better to build an M3 replica with abit of own personal taste then importing a real M3 for 2m to 2.5 million rand
90kw with a lightweight car... if you ever decide to sell the car... you definitely need to install those brake boosters first for the safety of the public... next owner may not drive it like you do.
They actually made 120kW.
FROM THE FRONT IT LOOKS SO WRONG
It's not an M3 front bumper, that's why
@@zadartrakiep6463 I can see yes
Steering wheel on the wrong side
Not to mention, wrong engine. 😅
great......so we have ameriKLANs in our comments now😒🤮
A replica Rolex is considered a fake Rolex. So a replica M3 would be considered a fake??
You should never be allowed near another BMW ever again
