BMW E30 M3 Enhanced & Evolved by Redux : The CSL that never was | Carfection 4K 

That's such high praise. Thank you!

@@Carfection It's fair praise 👍

The decision was easy when I saw it was Henry doing to the review.

If you want to know about the car then that is the correct order. If you want to see someone arsing around for a bit and throwing in a few random facts, TG/GT all the way....

Is top gear still going? Aw bless. I’m with the new school. The school of Carfection 👍

I have :D. Awesome review :)

@@nathanb2100 Thank you, Nathan.

@@HenryCatchpole np :)

I dreamed that BMW continued the e24 635csi until 1994, and that Alpina stuck the last of the m30 Bi-Turbos in it. Then I woke up and built it my self 😎 Got to say those e36 m3 Vader seats feels good when the m30 big six is forced by two Volvo V70R turbos pumping 1,0 bars of boost...

I always enjoy your videos Henry. Thank you.

I was born in 1987 so to me cars from 1987 have a special piece in my hart. I want to eventually have a collection with many 1987 cars. I read your comment and just wanted to say I love the story behind your E30. Please never sell that car! enjoy driving it!

I fully agree with you on the price. Is a little too much money. Thank you for sharing your story

I agree about the price. In the video it is mentioned that there were 4000 hours of labor put into building each car, so I imagine at least 60% of the price would be paying for the labor. And while it's a beautiful and incredible car, I don't think it's 10x better than the original E30 M3 or anything close to justifying spending that much on one. At that price, I'd rather buy a Porsche GT3 or GT4 and several laps on the Nurburgring.

Totally agree! I just cannot see an Icon with different front lights or spoilers.. was not like that in the past and that for me is crucial! About the mods? Just give me a "regular" 200hp E30 M3 with no rust/accidents with the upgrade S14 2.5l + Alpha N, BBS RS with Neovas + Recaro Speed, Intrax Suspensión and anti roll bars with powerflex + AP Racing Brakes and the Z3 quick 2.7 stearing rack + quick shift linkeage and thats my perfect car without losing any value 🙌

Don’t touch it! 😅

Thank you for the kind words Adam.

Top gear beat them

Watched this instead of Top Gear, i thorougly enjoy carfection!

I fell in love with this car until I saw the price. Not that it was too much, just that it was 330 like everything else. That just smacked of someone in the PR and marketing department putting a sticker price on it to match all the other 3, 30 and 330 bits. It's like failing at the last hurdle. I once saw a Hartge H35-24 back in the day. Now that is even more cool.

Just what I was thinking

Who knew 😉

Well 4000 hrs at that price works out as £82.50 per hr inclusive of all the materials. If it really is 4000 hrs work it's actually a bit of a bargain.

@@breid3492 Bear in mind they will be selling off genuine OEM body panels, wheels, brakes etc etc.

Until you realise it was a Retropower build; then the cost is understood

The cost is no $330K, it's 330K British Pound, which is about $437,000 at today's exchange rate.

Bs.

Agree with everything you've said. The E30 M3 is my poster car, and I've been lucky enough to drive one. On the evidence of this video, i think I'd rather have a stock car. It also makes me quite excited to see what @retropower are up to. They've recently started an E30 M3 project and I can't wait to see the results. Have you seen the TG video? It smokes even more and the speedo/rev counter aren't working. Did Henry break it? ;-)

@@petegowland6201 I saw both videos now. If it cannot take Henrys beating, then a fist handed driver would kill it in three laps. The guy can drive. This M3 should never ever had gone out for testing by journalists. When you aim that high it is not like you test some boy racers car with the normal brake down issues. Those are build in a shed and you expect them to smoke and not have instruments working. BMW makes quality cars, on both the videos it looks like they have gotten a hard driven 200.000 km example out to test that is on its last leg. When instruments don´t work and finish in the important stuff is shabby, take it back fix it and make a new video. I even think that high tuned engine does not sound right. Back to drawing board before it is too late. Get a proper trimmer and sort out the smoking issue, and BTW when you are at it get the engine up to 9000 rpm too. I have no doubt Redux can do it, a lot of the things are spot on. Get the last 20% right and you have made something really special.

@@petegowland6201 THIS is the Retropower project. 😂 Redux is just one guy designing it. And then Retropower building the car he ordered. This whole endeavour will not last imo.

Now that's an interesting restomod idea

Maybe a Capri shell over an new Ford Mustang Mach 1

Totally agree, in fact, is my next project

Glad you like them!

Glad you liked it!

Thank you for your kind words, Fides 😊

Thank you! We would like to make a film on the too!

Thank you very much!

Thank you for your kind words!

I know right

Because it's so true! 😂

We hope to meet your high expectations!

Thank you so much for your kind words! 🙏🏽

Looking at dropping an S62 or S54 into mine, although I do love the M30.

They already are desirable they’re appreciating and keep going up.

How can you restomod an E36? If you mean adding cheesy HID lights and trying to modernise it's looks, I wouldn't bother unless you want to drastically reduce it's value. I own an e36 also btw I am genuinely intrigued.

Now that would be a treat!

We're fans of it too

Dan Bailey - If you have £400,000 to spend on a car, your choices might be better. But if you have £10,000,000 this might make a nice addition to your collection. The sad part there is a good change the car may never see a track. Just another car in some one's collection of automotive eye candy.

They'll all get bought anyway at such low volumes so Redux can basically price them however they want.

True, a lot of money for a very special limited edition. I would go for the NA ///M poker instead: e30 sport evo, e36 gt, e46 csl and e92 gts.

@@psycodriver oof that is a mouthwatering selection of cars.

If you follow Retropower and see the level of time effort and expertise that goes into these builds you will see why Redux is charging so much. Retropower built this as a secret project so no vids on it on their channel but check out their build of a mk1 escort for f1 guru Gordon Murray.

Oohhhhh someone needs to get on that 190E rest

@@Carfection YESS 😃

It really is! Very subtle

There are quite a lot of modern e46, meaning upgraded suspension, breaks and a lot of carbon. You can supercharge the engine, but than you maxed the plattform.

Thank you. We're glad you enjoyed this

The fact that it retains the E30 M3 feel >>>
