"V10 in a box". I bet with the over sized e30 engine bay, there is still room left over.

Those guys are true artisans when it comes to metal work... That is definitely a top quality job!

I'll take a Hartge V10 powered E92 3 series & 1 series coupe over this.. The craftsmanship on this car is poor.

Have to respect anyone that puts this much time and effort into a project like this.

Don't really understand it, but definitely can appreciate it.

Right. Says the guy who can't even weld much less fabricate something.

This is a beautiful piece of work. The owner must be very proud.
