Egyptian Treats E82 BMW 1-series with the M3 engine

Do you want a BMW 1-series that has 420 horsepower? If you’re anything like WCF staffers you should join the queue.

A car enthusiast from Egypt found that the cost of import a ready-made 1M was too high. On 1Addicts, he explained that the vehicle would require customs clearance and more than $150,000 to import. This is not including the cost of purchasing the model. He found it much more economical to take apart an E82 120d and install the BMW M3 V8 engine.

It took 3-4 weeks to complete the work. The modifications included modifications to exhaust system, new 20-inch custom wheels, and wider wheel arches.

Although it is unlikely that it will have the same driving dynamics as the BMW 1M, the owner still considers it stable at low and high speeds.
