Congrats again, Marco! I wish I could have made it out to fest like I was planning, definitely going to have to hit you up pretty soon so we can drive 9 to skyline, I need a ride in this mean machine.

What's your schedule like these days? Just got my car back up to par.

Job, definitely, well done sir.

It was an absolute honor to work with Marco on this build. This project was a dream project for all of us. It is a true representation of everything great from ///M and this generation of cars.

We are grateful to the venders involved and all their help with parts.

Oh dawm....nice work

[Malek@MRF]

I enjoyed seeing this at Bimmerfest this past Saturday.

Have you thought of making the engine intake snorkel functional?

The best BMW that was never built.

This is how all M cars should be made. Lots of NA power that fills the engine space. Beautiful job.

Outstanding!!!

[dmboone25]

Holy cow - this is awesome !!!

[froop]

Fantastic build! Can't wait to see videos of this in action.

Can I ask about details of the steering swap? Did you just swap over the rack from the M3? Were there any issues with the power steering?

[Mdawood]

Excellent job!! The car is a beast...

[Papethova]

BEST car at Bimmerfest 2014 hands down!!!

Not just the scope of the build but the quality of the build. Attention to detail is off the hook.

I see many builds and I really see where they get sloppy or cut corners or just flat out dont know how to do clean work. This car looks like it was built by BMW.

Shows need a performance category, judges need to learn to understand and appreciate fabrication and engineering. Cars like this shouldnt be judged against "pimped rides". Audio delete should be worth just as many points as a 10k system.

Congrats M!!! You deserve it all and you really did deserve 1st place.

I can't believe I'm the first one to ask this, but who is the blonde? Kinda looks like Lia19

But it probably wouldn't be a good DD.....

[williewonkerz]

BMW should fly you and the car to Germany for all the employees in assembly.

This thing should be on display for a time in the BMW museum.


Guys like you give BMW a great name.


I love this

[MKE_M3]

All it needs is some decent tires, perhaps some Michelin PSS, and you are good to go!!!


I keed! I keed!

Nice ride OP! I'm sure it will be an absolute monster.
