What you’re looking at could very well be one of the most remarkable BMW E30 3-Series models on earth. Purists will probably hate it but hot rodders and those that like modifying their vehicles will probably love it.
The first thing that strikes you about this E30 is the bodykit. As you could probably guess, this is not a kit you can buy off the shelf and was custom designed by Khyzyl Saleem, a man with a huge amount of experience creating some of the craziest cars in the digital world. A company by the name of Rebellion Forge Racing is behind the project.
The bodykit itself includes widened front and rear fenders, a bespoke rear fascia that includes a sharp diffuser, and an overhauled front end. Sitting roughly eight inches wider in the rear and six inches wider up front, the car’s presence on the road is unmistakable. As crazy as the bodykit is, however, that is not what really makes it extraordinary.

Slotted under the custom hood is an LS V8 that features a unique exhaust and header design. In modifying the V8, Rebellion Forge Racing was inspired by the screaming V8 powering the custom VW Passat that professional drifter Tanner Foust used to compete with. Fitting a big V8 into the BMW‘s engine bay was quite a challenge and required the builders to construct a new firewall, transmission tunnel, and dashboard while also pushing back the seats.
Despite all the hard work, it looks to have been well worth it and has resulted in one of the most unique E30’s on the planet.
