The BMW E30 has always been a flagship for the company and an instant classic. With prices soaring, especially for M3s, Tomizawa-san took this car to the next level with Japanese tuning spirit!
I’ve been fortunate to be apart of LOWCUL for a long time now with the acceptance of Tomizawa-san. He’s a great guy, always willing to talk and share his passion for low cars, and his BMW is one not to pass up! He went full force with the Pandem full wide body kit, a Honda K swap, and TE37s!
He didn’t want to just have a custom car to take to events and car shows; he wanted it to fully pass Shaken. That’s the Japanese road inspection process, so he could legally drive it on the road as a wide body Honda powered BMW.
