Craig's BMW E30 Vert M50 24v Swapped Build List
I'm Craig, our Social Media and Creative Content coordinator, and this was my 24v-swapped, late-model-converted, E30 Vert. This car entered my life when E30s were cheap and plentiful after my daily was totaled by a red light runner. It was physically pristine, but it was mechanically in need of everything, which is why it ended up 24v swapped, among the host of other upgrades and retrofits I performed during my ownership of this E30. I sold this car in April of 2021, but it will forever be the best E30 I've ever owned and the most in-depth build I've attempted to date.
