Think about it; a nimble and compact 1988 BMW M3 equipped with the most powerful engine that bimmer has to offer today – the 507 Hp 5.0-liter V10 unit from the M5/M6 models. Too much power, to much weight up front, no more balance if you ask us, but admittedly an interesting project from Piper Motorsport’s behalf. The Franken M3 (that’s the project car’s name) is being developed as we speak. 
Understandably, fitting a massive V10 under the hood of an E30 M3 is no easy task. According to the guys at Piper Motorsports, it will be done by using all new OEM BMW 3-Series E90 front/rear sub frames and suspension pieces. These parts will be assembled on a chassis jig to fit within the stock body of the 1988 M3. After finishing these modifications to the front sub frame and fire wall Piper will place the new OEM M5 V10 power plant. –Images after the jump
