the fact that most of the components just simply bolted on is so cool.

@BigUriel 3 года назад

The e92 has a lot more space in the back than the e81, a much better ride and much better interior quality. People who actually buy a new M3 seem to care about those things, they don't just want a big engine in a roll cage with wheels. The truth is the people who bitch and moan about the size of the modern M3s are not the people who buy them, so BMW couldn't care less what you think. There in it to sell cars, not to please a niche fanbase who never actually buy one. And what they're doing is clearly working because M3s have been selling like hot buns for the past 20 years.

@DigitalDissident Год назад

@@BigUriel I've driven a DCT E90 M3 against my manual 135i, 1er was pulling on the M3. The M3 seems quite large & V8 in E82 is definitely cooler. It makes more sense if BMW did it from an enthusiast/performance perspective. E82 is 95% of the car for far less money. I never use my back seats but you can sit in the back of an E82 just fine. My 135i came with a brown leather interior & M trim, inside looks better than any E9 M3 I've seen. But I don't care too much about that, glad it doesn't have idrive or sunroof.

@papercut1987 3 года назад

Oh man this is beautiful! The 1. I think THIS is what the 1M should have been. an high-revving NA engine in a small frame. Of course it could step on the M3's toe, but who cares, it was supposed to be an homage to 2002 anyway!

@CJK20 3 года назад

@miketurin5233 3 года назад

Incredible achievement and super cool! Those V8 and V10 from that era are the real deal once you addressed the rod bearing issue which is not very common by the way.

@CJK20 3 года назад

I thought the rod bearings were one the biggest issues mate? Whenever I see one for sale it’s all anyone ever bangs on about.

@miketurin5233 3 года назад

@@CJK20 yes. The rod bearings are the worst issue but maybe not the most common one. Based on forums and RU-vid owners videos, it really depends on how the previous owner has driven the car, oil used and changes and the KM driven. Did the previous owner wait for the oil to properly warm up before driving hard. Many US guys complain about this but if you look at US market and the high mileage BMW they (have) to buy there is no surprise it happens more often. If you check the European market where you can get low mileage mint BMW the risk is much lower. Also I saw videos of people changing the rod bearings at over 200k KM and they were “ok”. So I wouldn’t be too worried buying a 50-80k KM BMW with a V8 or V10 and enjoying it for 5 years without any concerns.

@CJK20 3 года назад

Ah mate that sounds brilliant! Get it done!

@Charlie-Charlot 3 года назад

@@CJK20 the S14 engine will probably be the last piece as it is ridiculously expensive, it will first receive ITBs and custom made headers and will gradually gain some newer and better parts, but the main goal is to create a car that bmw could have made themselves, something like a different take on the Z3M with a lighter and high revving naturally aspirated 4 cylinder instead of the larger S54. I think it makes more sense considering the size of the car.

Vid starts with how we wont believe how much work went into the car then builder tells us is a direct bolt in swap. Theres a good laugh. Love the idea. As a non m3 e92 owner that restores and builds cars, bolt in swaps are always more appealing than full fabrication work of making something work.
