👀 Mate Rimac finally came face-to-face with the exact kind of BMW E30 build he has described as a dream project.
⠀
The Bugatti Rimac CEO previously said he wanted to create a heavily reworked E30 with a V10 engine, making this encounter especially fitting.
⠀
The car in the clip belongs to Jim Amelinckx and uses BMW’s 5.0-liter S85 V10, the same engine family found in the E60-generation M5.
⠀
Rimac immediately inspected the car, opened the hood and seemed genuinely impressed by how neatly the massive V10 fit inside the compact E30 chassis.
⠀
His connection to the E30 runs deep, since one of his earliest major projects involved converting an E30 into an electric performance car long before Rimac became a hypercar manufacturer.
⠀
He also owns an original E30 M3 Sport Evolution, so the platform clearly remains one of his favorite BMWs.
⠀
Would an S85 V10-swapped E30 be the ultimate restomod?
