1 series hatch - s65 v8

just a few sneaky photos of this build.

although we had the engine running within a few days, the objective was always an absolute 100% electronically error free setup, we think we have succeeded.

Doner - sourced from a 03/2012 comp edition - 48,000 odd kms

The number of differences between an m3 and everything else e9x are massive. From the obviously things like complete drive line, suspension, brakes to completely different fuel system, brake line routing, vacuum system and a huge list of others.

AIM: Create the best of everything with no expense spared, fully engineered. 100% electronically perfect with OEM BMW only equipment as though bmw themselves would have.


The Motor/Drive: the s65 may not be without its issues, however anyway you spin it, its another gravy when compared to anything before it. Drop another 200+ KG, the bars raised again. The torque potential may not be that of a worked n54/55 however the high revolution concept coupled with a noise turbo cars could only dream about well and truly makes up plus some.... the first drive was very much wow...

The real challenge here is bmw's electronics as usual. When you consider how much they change year to year on the same car, now think 2 completely different cars, almost 7 years apart We love it...

Currently waiting for parts. Cic pro, comfort access and individual audio to come, plus a few other nice surprises were throwing in for a fantastic customer.

Looking for other customers interested in:
Please pm contact phone details to arrange time to discuss.

- any 1 and 3 series (e8x and e9x) - xDrive conversion - RnD work in progress. We did the worlds first r34 gtr-> r35 conversions completed a few years ago now, so were pretty confident here. Other model xDrives to follow.
- s55 dct & MT -> anything
- s63 AT -> anything (possibly MT without xDrive- not tried yet)
- s85 smg -> dct or MT -> anything
- zf8 -> any 1 and 3 series e8/9x - not done - work in progress
- s85 smg -> dct -> already done a few years back
- s85 smg -> 6mt
- e46 m3 smg or MT -> dct -> RnD work in progress - really excited about this setup
- m54 custom turbo setup -> built and being road tested, no numbers yet but ridiculous power on very low boost.
- any other electronic retrofit we have not yet done. special deals available on projects we have not yet completed.

OEM only - Not interested in aftermarket parts, computers or controllers for anything at this stage.

The m3 were thinking about putting one of our v10 dct setups in it as a demo car, not sure yet.

Cheers man.

We're gonna push to publish as many things as we can to show that even though were in Australia, there are a bunch of cool things we have done that others in the US or around the world may not have.

This is another really cool one. 100% oem functionality between the e46 chassis and s85 engine.

The there is the r34 with r35 gtr, which I'm sure at the time was a world's first. Not a bmw but an amazing build none the less. For anyone interested, they can read about below. The guy in the middle of that image is a freak, he put that driveline together in the space of a few weeks.
