Like many other rappers, Travis Scott enjoys showing off his impressive automobile. However, this BMW M3 E30, which was extensively altered for his album JACKBOYS, really stole the show.
The album JACKBOYS, which was published under Travis Scott’s own label, Cactus Jack Records, and was a collaboration with the band JackBoys, was a favorite among fans of the rapper. As for the album’s title track, it features a music video featuring a BMW M3 E30 that has been extensively altered for the occasion.
A light blue exterior paint job inspired by Japan, along with new wheels (though the original tires are still on the car), rally lights, and a beige-and-brown mix on the bonnet that includes the record label insignia, are all part of the makeover. A figure that appears to be an angel resides atop it. The rear fender of the M3x bears the Russian and English names of Cactus Jack, while the side of the vehicle displays Scott’s birth year, which reads “Since 1991.”
The most striking aspect of the music video is undoubtedly Scott’s ride, a classic coupe transformed into a rally car. The extremely well-kept Alpine White over Cardinal Red M3, a rare model, allegedly cost $250k and was bought by Scott’s manager. The car makes an appearance in further album singles in addition to this music video.
The M3 E30 is powered by a 2.3-liter L4 engine and is mated to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. It is a product of the German brand. At 6,750 rpm, the engine produces 197 hp (or 200 ps), and at 4,600 rpm, it reaches its peak torque of 177 lb-ft. These are sufficient to propel the vehicle from a complete stop to 62 mph (100 kph) in 6.7 seconds, with a maximum speed of 146 mph (235 kph).
