Yeah man they’re great cars

Very nice!

Thank you Nico Rosberg for the feedback!

@@ronjatter thanks!

Sure am!

That E36 is very cool. But in all seriousness, life is not just about material things. Surround yourself with good friends who care about you, find a job that gives you purpose, and get into an exercise routine. That’ll do wonders for your mental health, far more so than any car

@ good advice. But that will not solve my problems. Mainly the place I live. And that’s why cars bring me so much joy and happiness. Because they are the only things that I can be truly myself in. No restraints whatsoever. And where I live cars are absurdly expensive therefore the options are limited. But whenever I can get an opportunity to drive, I just do it. So count every day you live there as a blessing. Stay safe.

​@@BrennonicoliniWhere do you live? Is karting an option?

@@michiel5160 Brazil. Yes, most definitely is an option. In fact it’s something I haven’t done in ages. Perhaps I should contact some friends and give it a try. It’s not really what I want but it may scratch the itch a bit. Thanks for your help.

Yeah that’s all it’s got. Tbh when I set up this video I assumed it had more mods, not just a BOV, air filter, wheels and springs…

Thanks man!

Haha hopefully I could convey the fun factor through the video

Thanks man!

Yeah man super well set up! Haha my gf has already said no to a track car!

On the weekend just been. Got up to 28 degrees. Very warm!

@ man you pump those videos out quick, committed

Yessss

Very nice

Next time man!

I will try

Well yeah haha

Yeah I guess I quickly realised how well the car was set up and so felt confident in pushing it. It's a fantastic drive!

Thanks man!

Yeah man it's intoxicating!

Thanks man!

I don't believe so

K tune can tune cars in Australia too. Hit them up

Yeah man they’re great cars are

Thanks!

Thanks! 👍

Nice man yeah the ND overall is just a nicer car

Yes but I guess that's the point. A road car is naturally going to be on road tyres too

@@KiwiCarLife yes, but if you go on trackday, you can put slicks on there too... or at least semislicks. Not a problem, nothing a stock car cannot have. And it makes the most difference.

Well, yeah tbh the sequential gearbox and totally stripped interior are a bit overkill, a street car with coilovers, slicks and decent brakes will be not far off the pace

@@KiwiCarLife 100% this is true. A modified street car with decent and not too expensive mods and slicks will get close to the times of the M3 but if you are looking for ultimate performance and times and 10th's matter then you have to spend the money and the time to get there. The sequential is a circa $30K mod to the M3 and changed lap times by around a second! All power to the vast majority of guys that race modified street cars week in and week out and have a blast doing it.

All good!

Thanks man!

Yeah man super cool aye!

10s is nothing? Okay.

Interesting observations. I agree that the M135 did really well and it's subjective to say a racer is better than a road car but I think it might be a stretch to conclude that with the mods you are suggesting the M135i would get into the 14's. My (educated) guess is that slicks would give 3 seconds per lap and a light tune and lightening another 2-3 seconds. This would put the M135i in at around the 1.19's, maybe 1.18's. The reality is that every 10th of a second below 1.17 is very hard earned and normally requires $1000's in modifications and track tuning to achieve. Of course the best way to loose time is to be a better driver and in this case both cars were very well driven by the same man. Well done Liam and excellent video. Maybe next time we will get you out in an actual race!

Yeah would have to agree with Richard. Even with slick tyres, tune and a bit of weight saving, I still wouldn't expect the M135i to get close to 1:14. That M3 is so light and nimble. You'd have to shed a good 200-300kg and at that point you'd basically be turning the M135i into a race car anyway. 10 seconds is a truck load of time to make up. Think about F1, if you're even 0.5s off the pace you're uncompetitive. Shaving 10 seconds will take more than just better tyres and a bit of weight saving.

sharn

@ im an f1 fun myself and looking forward to a very interesting season... maybe i was a little TOO EXCITED for the M135i... :P although if you do turn the M135i into a racecar, it WILL be faster :P

Thanks man yeah I've heard a lot of people adding bracing to the chassis. One of the M3 owner's mates said he drove one and it felt like the front was disconnected from the back. I don't really notice that trait, but any chassis stiffening mods are good

Actually, it is the rear subframe bushes that are softer than 30 year old e36 non m subframe bushes. The rear v-brace and a front brace sure help, but a better rear sway bar and the subframe bushes really make the car connected. The f80 m3 has no subframe bushes, they are metal to metal, makes a huge difference in feel

Hey man BRZ vs M135i is a pretty easy choice imo. The M135i is much faster, has way more overhead for modifications, is already 6 seconds a lap faster on track out of the box and is a way nicer and more dailyable car with heaps of features. BRZ is potentially a little more reliable, but if you do your research into N55 common failure points like the valve cover seal, crank hub guard and making sure you overfill the oil a bit because they don't have a baffled sump, I wouldn't expect you to have any issues. Mine's been reliable

Yeah definitely man

Thanks man!

As in stock M3 vs track M3? Had to work with what I had
