Only two of them made by //M GmbH as a sort of prototype, not streetlegal, Matthias gets to drive one:

Too much power vs short wheelbase vs 'E30 more or less' rearsuspension : So a no go

Cheers

Compact and a traditional E36 have the the same wheelbase. It's the rear over hang that's different. I have had three S5X powered compacts and and 4 E30's with M/S5x engines Makes for a fun car. Always wanted to find a M52B28 Alum block from a 97 or 98 Z3 but settled with what I had iron blocks.
