A real opportunity in Finland for a true BMW “old school” supporter!
This unique BMW E30 325iA cabriolet (yearmodel 1987) has been swapped with a BMW V8 M60 engine with all ancillaries. The whole car has been basically re-built with quality parts and “enough” extras, which were quite rare to acquire in the '80s: the style “Gentleman Edition” indicates automatic transmission, air conditioning, cruise control and original Recaro sport seats with electric adjustments - all genuine BMW E30 parts of course. Visually the aim has been to have a strong contrast: black exterior (Diamond Schwartz Metallic) combined with white nappa leather interior. The rims are original 16” from E28 M5. All in all: a solid sleeper look, however equipped with a strong V8 heart - all executed with OEM+ quality.
The project began in Spring 2011 by purchasing the E30 cabrio along with miscellaneous parts. The actual stripping of E30 body began in autumn 2011 and first test-drive was made in Spring 2012. There are several pictures taken during the project, visible at

The project has not been an easy entity to put together, a special knowhow from various angles has been a must requirement. Therefore I had gathered a special group of experts in Finland, each possessing a unique skill needed for this project: e.g. “Chief Technical Architect” has been a Finnish BMW enthusiastic whose white E30 M-Tech II cabrio with V8 engine made the cover of Performance BMW magazine in November 2010 (
