disapr e46m track build
This is a project that I started 10 months ago. Now that the project is mostly complete, I thought I'd share some photos of the process. First, I'd like to thank my sponsors: My wife - For being supportive of the project, spending entire weekends working on the car with me & taking/editing the final photos. Flavius (M3roar) at Morar Industries - For expertly CNC machining all of the one-off parts & tools that I designed for this build. And then ME, because I did everything else Also, thanks to: Daniel Macfadden@Momentum BMW & Adam@Hard Motorsport Parts/Modifications Section (Top Level) Body

The car weighs 2819lbs with a half tank of fuel and no driver. The Build

Beautiful build. Puts pretty much every build I've seen on this forum to shame. Looks like a lot of blood, sweat, and tears went into this car.

I will tell you guys this car is beautiful in person. I spent time this past weekend bugging Jeremy about the passenger seat As someone stated, no detail was left out. I think this build would even make the BMW motherland proud. Great job J......................Phil

I'm still running the stock 6spd gearbox - The shifter is really nice though and makes for super short/fast shifts while keeping the shifter in a good position.

I know exactly how you feel - hang in there! The car is amazing to drive, better even than I expected. I'm still in the take it somewhat easy and re-check everything mode but I'm looking forward to just spending the entire weekend lapping and tuning.

We have used many of the same parts (bimmerworld, Turner & VAC) not many others to select from. More than anything I am amazed you did most of it yourself........I had a little help |
