  • TMCars E30 retro revamp

    I personally still prefer the original E30's design, especially that of the M3, however it would be interesting to see one of these TMCar kits punting around, if slammed on a nice set of wheels and a decent colour scheme,it could actually look quite mental!
    Hungary’s TMCars design studio put forth an interesting proposition. Rather than a costly tear-down and build-up for full E30 restoration, TMCars conceptualized a body kit instead to update the vehicle’s appearance. Named the TM concept30, there will only be 12 panelings in each kit and retains three crucial BMW characteristics:

    - The shoulder line which runs from the headlamps along the sides to the taillamps.
    - The line on the lower side of the body which connects the front intakes with the exhaust outlets.
    - The body wideline in between, which shapes the front and the rear bumpers, and runs along the sides as a fine edge

    Other key characteristics include reshaped front lights, from round to forms with accommodating trapezoid LED outlines. A similar silhouette is on the rear lights as well. TMCars is also think about offering a race version of the kit with a wider C-pillar and wheel arches. Though these are just renderings, TMCars stated that both kits have already met European safety standards and set for production soon.

    Not bad.

    Bet it looks nothing like that if it ever sees production
    Float like a Cadillac, Sting like a Beemer!

      I think it looks odd. The body almost looks like a mesh between an E28 and a 2002, yet it keeps the original E30 roofline. I think if they did a more modern roofline/C pillar it would be a little better.

      The top picture you posted screams E28 to me. More pics in the link though.

      Canon, Fuji, Mamiya, Minolta + Pentax.

            No thanks. To me the lines don't work at all.
            Why mess with a classic BMWs beauty?
