Going back to the Germans we have Tavish’s 1991 BMW 318is where the previous owner swapped a BMW M3 S52 motor into the car. The car was built tastefully to compete in the Targa Rally out in Newfoundland.



In 2023 the E30 saw a mild restoration with the previous owner reupholstering the M Tech 2 steering wheel and the seats being replaced by ones in better shape from a donor vehicle. Tavish fitted and painted an M Tech 2 body kit to the vehicle, bringing out the classic but aggressive lines from this classy BMW.
