how much weight do you think you’ll shave out of the E46, compared to stock?

T1!

Yeah nice, I can't wait. Honestly if each video is in the Goldilocks zone of 20 to 30 minutes, I'll watch one every day.

Like the build concept a lot. The kind of car that looks "right" which is very different than "boring", even if its not as attention-grabbing. I don't know enough about what works well on the nurburgring or how to set up an E46 to suggest things, but I would like to hear for a car like this more about the kinematics. What motion ratio do the springs and sway bars have? What spring rate or natural frequency are you running the car at, and what acceleration are you seeing in the corners that requires those rates to properly control the body motions? Are you picking spring/sway bars more for dry track and compensating for the change in surface by adjusting the shocks, or is it the other way around?

So flippin excited for this series!!!

Question: what is your take on the sedans? I think these look better in case of the e36 and especially the e90. A huge miss that the e46 never had an m3 version (and from what I understand the e46 sedan is actually stiffer and less prone to the subframe mount problems ) Are you going for the coupe versions for the e36 and e90/92 builds?

where will you put some tasteful M badges?

Love it and can’t wait for the videos! Makes me want to take my own e46 to the carwash too 😅

Looks like an AMAZING build, and already looking forward to the E36........ Has there been any thoughts/progress on making Apex a 'community hub' type place where people can have a beer/coffee and potentially BBQ/car events? Fantastic that you are back, and looking forward to the content. I also reckon on 2 videos a week would be the ideal number, to keep people hooked as at 1 video a week it is potentially 6 months to see the end result.

Hey good to see you back on the channel pal 👍🏻 can’t wait to see the M3 on the ring

looking forward to the other 20-21 video's Robert! I hope i can see it on the ring this year! :) love the details of this build!

Awesome. Love the build plan , looking forward to seeing it. Bit of a Retropower vibe too . Looking very well yourself.

I still don't understand why you haven't finished the e36 gtr.... You could do the same as with this one without having 2 practically identical cars.

Top tier as always. Looks like you’ve lost weight, hope you’re well.

When you talk about the m3 e46 to praise the engine, the chassis etc etc you all forget that there is a better chassis, with better aerodynamics, center of gravity and weight balance, which came out a few years later and had the same engine and same suspension: E86 Z4 Coupé...

Good to see you doing well!

Exited for the episodes to come! Sure sounds like fun to take the time and effort to make it perfect for what you want. Will you be running an aftermarket abs system in the car? And are you going into detail on how to get all the systems working together? Idea for the E36(or just my dream): go with a Ferrari 360 V8, just enough power, lighter engine, no weight over the front axle and a hell of a noise at 9000rpm. Would maybe also make for a different drive than the E46?

which E36 were you using on Assetto Corsa? I found lots of E36's drive bad.

Time for some aero from misha

I think two a week would be ideal for most, but I want the whole box set immediately haha.

Interessant ❣️👌🏼 I love the E46 M3 ❕😅 Love from Berlin, Ramsi 🙋🏻‍♂️

Robert, some new TV series put out the two first episodes back to back to really hook their audience and then the weekly ones. Can’t wait to see the work and process. Best of luck with the car. David

As a E46 M3 owner and just starting out on track mods, this series will help me out so much with the amount of detail you are willing to give out to us. Thank you and I cannot wait for all the contents!

I was just about to start the work for today but now I'm not

looking forward to the videos. What a beautiful build.

What about the Schirmer E36 M3 GTR?

Yeaaarrrp this is mega. Quite simply a stunning build in progress. Credit to both yourself & George.

Great your back I was wondering when we were going to see how the build was going , and looking very healthy to so you must be putting those miles in on the bike still 👍 and what a series this is going to be with e30 e36 builds to

Is misha a safe driver on TF?

Once a week is more than enough for quality content. You want to see it, but you also don't want it to end.

What happened to the E36 M3 build that Schirmer was building for you? The grey one with the gold BBS E88’s? I remember seeing something briefly with you saying that he had the car along time but I remember it was painted, the bodywork was all done and the wheels were mocked up.

Super exited about both projects. Waiting for the series🤘

Build it up and then let Misha destroy it. Like he does with other people stuff anyway.

Absolutely sick build! I’m a crazy e46 m3 fan, spent hundreds of hours reaserching and building mine in the look for the perfect car! I’ll be at the ring with my M3 in about 2 weeks, I’d love to see this live 😍

I'm surprised that you have been doing this. Are you still running the hotel?

Let it begin!!!! 2 per week please.

Lets GO! Welcome back Robert. Hyped

Welcome back again..... awesome 👌 enjoy your team and projects (good for BMW) see you one day at the Ring Grüße aus Mexiko Stadt!

So good to see you back, seriously looking forward to the whole series and… who is Tom Stamp?🤔 I’m so over the repetitive same same boring vids of an arrogant individual driving other people’s cars. This is going to be so interesting, informative and, having got to ‘know you’ Robert, a delight to see. Can’t wait.

🎉

Track prepped/Club sport cars built cleanly with no detail overlooked is definitely the kind of content I love most and what I love to drive and see most. Love the progress with this e46!

nice to c Robert n George again, Tom in the back ground. as i said on the gram, so looking forward to the 22 vids coming mate. yep, couple of pieces of VA wud be a nice touch as well. E30 n E36 club sport ground ups wud be damn cool mate.

1 per week.

Glad to see the project coming along! I think two videos a week would be a decent pace.

I don’t think I know of any s54 that is actually over 400, so that’s going to be an interesting episode 👍. Apart from that 🙌 what a build!

I would love to see 2 episodes a week. But that’s because I’m so excited for this!

Sorry for asking again if you've answered it before but what happened to the Shirmer E36 M3 build? I was very excited to see it finished.

Erik Eriksson Design does great E36 ramair / brake cooling parts, including ones S54 swapped with Haimus box in E36 M3 chassis. Totally OEM fit and finnish if not better and also durability. Happy to help if so wanted. :)

Met you a few years ago now, made it out to Apex for a Taxi Lap and had a nice talk with you. I run an E46 M3 "track" prepped car in the states and deeply appreciate the depth of information/content here.

Great to see you back! Looking forward to seeing what you guys achieve. Thank you!
