3D Scanning my V10 BMW M3 for 10 to 1 Headers with Photogrammetry

We have our first go at 3d scanning my V10 BMW M3 using a normal camera and photogrammetry for Celeritech to create an accurate design for the 10 into 1 headers/manifolds on the car.

I realised while editing this that there are probably a huge amount of technical questions surrounding the photogrammetry procedure, equipment, software etc. This was our first time doing this, so at the time of filming, I wasn't the right person to talk about it as an authority on the subject. But If it's of interest, I'll do a full tech video on the process once it's complete. Let me know & thanks for watching.

[@JJJinez]

I'm in with my like and view for the technical video!

[@joseywales3789]

It's impressive! I laugh at the story of why the Morris 1000 Minor has the bump down the middle of the bonnet, apparently Sir Alex Issigonis drew out the body shape and the artists sculpted the car out of clay but when Sir Alex saw his design in 3D, he realised that it was to tall for it's width so he asked the artists to cut the car in half, pull it apart by 4 inches and fill in the gap. When he went back to see the clay buck, they'd finished the rear and roof but they'd just put a sheet of cardboard over the gap in the bonnet, Sir Alex liked the "bump" in the bonnet so much, it stayed for final production. I wonder what Sir Alex Issigonis would think about photogrammetry? He'd probably piss himself laughing! Especially at the incredible accuracy!

[@leok3347]

Photogrammetry is amazing and if everyone had scanned their car we would be able to rebuild them in future :D no more letting cars die because of age :D I am all for full tech video i love it!

[@xelad6159]

I'd be interested in it as well, i find it amazing how software can do such a good job of processing images. Makes me think of Tesla using normal cameras and not Lidar for their automated driving.

[@VelEire_]

Techy bits? yes please! It’s mental

[@Tex777_]

It's mindblowing to me they can do that using only 2D photos. The result is absolutely stunning

[@ZAKU-GD]

Phil better get serious mate there is a lot of videos on KZbin surfacing show e46 m3s with e60 v10 swaps. I still think your version is king!! Let us all witness this power of your glorious MV10

[@dariok9118]

As a mechanical designer myself I’d really like to see the process behind putting the photogrammetry scan in CAD and designing pipes/tubes around that

[@ericschumacher5189]

Awesome work!!! I’m sure you are considering this in your collector design, but I figured I’d mention it if this detail hasn’t yet been solidified.....generally with a large number of cylinders going into a single collector, it’s Important that the tubes are put into the collector so the firing order is oriented RADIALLY, around the collector, and NOT jumping side to side.....this is better for flow and usually allows a smaller choke area, which correlates to a smaller megaphone max diameter, that could aid in better fitment under the hood.....I’m sure you have contacts lined up to produce the collector, but if not, Burns Stainess in the USA has a design service, that can help pick optimal tube sizes, where to put the steps in stepped headers, and collector dimensions........I’m excited to see how this turns out 👍

[@driftworks]

Thanks man. I've read lots of stuff about this myself. I'll definitely be asking lots of questions during the design phase, but honestly, the knowledge I've seen thus far from Celeritech is second to none.

[@Piele]

I just don't get why this channel doesn't have more subs.. You guy's are doing exactly what we miss on youtube! Still figuring out how all this epic stuff gets financed tho.. xD Seriously epic stuff guy's! Greets from the Netherlands.

[@CorndogBrownie]

Love it my dudes, i dont care how long it takes, just do it right. Slow = Smooth, Smooth = Consistent, Consistent = Perfect

[@BenExell]

We use photogrammetry in the games industry a lot, such a fun process :) Looks like they're using agisoft photoscan, I found reality capture had better results for me and it was faster processing too Still they are some amazing results for your first time! Trickiest bit is getting the camera settings right so I found it funny they hot glued the camera :D

[@Tom-xn7zc]

Hell yeah! Celeritech makes real high quality and stunning manifolds!

[@chrisg4rr377]

I mean the lambo is a fucking beast, but this is my favourite Philworks car.

[@0Standaart0]

Celeritech FTW. What a great product!

[@PixelVogue]

Bloody hell a video, thought you guys retired...... LOL!

[@tedwardoe999]

What an awesome process and fascinating result! The stuff of dreams to get that level of accuracy

[@jammykane]

Good to see it back on the channel!!!!

[@jamest5149]

Great job guys. Please do the full tech video, it’s of interest. We did photogrammetry in inspection in oil and gas and of very large structures etc, a very useful tool, just used in a different environment and usage.

[@briangreen6602]

I'd like to register a complaint please..... Not really, I'd actually like to register my appreciation. That scan looks amazing .

[@keithflynn5651]

Phil and Jay spend 17 hours under some canvas taking thousands of photos....hmmm! Brilliant end result guys, fingers crossed that the end result justifies the time and effort!

[@peterstegemann4782]

So excited for this! I go crazy for v10 noise.

[@vrfrys]

FEBRUARY??!! Jezus time goes by fast, good to see it again

[@Afrikantk]

Happy to see progress on this again!

[@mikedowland9949]

Wow, been waiting for this👍

[@deankalsevicius7610]

Tbf the e46 just gets more and more beautiful with time. You definitely made the right shout with this car Phil

[@jamest5149]

The engine bay image will make a good T shirt or hoody 👍

[@fredericlarue6610]

i’m so happy to see coming back this legend 👍👍👍😍😍😍

[@TheMrCristal]

In absolute love with this car ❤️

[@davidrichards3630]

Great job guys !! Was waiting for a video :)

[@MrAlfiew]

So cool they can send out the equipment and do it remotely, very excited to see these headers finished!

[@edzimmerman1611]

Very cool. Love seeing work on this car, and you doing something most of us can only fantasize about doing. Super cool tech! Please post more soon!!!

[@antonioribeiro7956]

Perfection takes time. Don't rush it. Only the best for Viten 👍👍

[@Jb001jb]

Nice to see that intro again. Love that. 🍻

[@driftworks]

Thanks 👍

[@FirstLast-bi8xi]

That was pretty cool, thanks Phil & Jay.

[@jasonthorn716]

No complaints here, nailed it lads

[@xelad6159]

Yesss V10 content

[@anidiotinaracingcar4874]

That's a beautiful result

[@jasonatkin4566]

Hi Phil & Jay. The effort produced stunning results Weldone guys. I also want to mention the great results I've had after fitting your Trail arm and Pillowball adjustable rear Toe Arms on my 2007 335i E92, they complement the M3 arm upgrade and Coilovers nicely. Really planted especially in quick direction changes. Cheers my dears

[@driftworks]

Cheers Jason 👍

[@kevinwebster299]

What a cool process. Keep it up guys.

[@maykos3012]

Yes you're back!

[@michaelsummerell8618]

Good to see you back guys, it had been noticed content has been on a drip feed for some time! Haha! Feb 21 since the last update on the V10?! Jesus, pull your finger out Phil, not like you're doing anything else, is it?!! Honestly great to see you gents back - and how's it looking for an update on Jay's Turbo Mustang...?!

[@driftworks]

Cheers. Yeah I've been a lax with it & Jays been too distracted with his other cars to actually finish the Mustang. I've been pressuring him and he reckons maybe in a month or so he'll have something done on it so we can see a burnout at least.

[@Sipha1980]

Looking good !

[@rxmclaren7]

absolutely amazing detail! cant wait to see, and hear, the end result! even if it takes 5 more years! dont care...going to be epic!

[@plauze82]

Finally, another episode!!!

[@p0intdk]

That looks amazing, good job guys.

[@theenglishtrucker1849]

I just love watching you guys. Great vid. 👍👍

[@driftworks]

Thanks 👍

[@hoonaticbloggs5402]

Very nice update. Can’t wait to see manifolds coming together

[@lukek9694]

Multiple cars that are different will always trump one cool car.

[@owansaiful6339]

I wouldn't mind having that scanned image it on my t-shirts. Lovely job!

[@darylmorse]

Way to go, guys! Looking forward to seeing a header...

[@roychalhoub8602]

Keep this build bro amazing

[@BlackWolf-vs6uo]

Finally a new v10 m3 video

[@Dondes787]

This was pretty cool, thanks for sharing

[@ColtraneEAHunt]

My prediction: Car complete, Feb ‘23. Look forward to it!! Inspiring work, gents!!

[@Matty.Hill_87]

That computer model is insane, I can't believe they can make that from photos

[@FaithlessM3]

That is awesome!!

[@southney7211]

Nice one boys!

[@B_M_A]

Man that 3D rendering was sick he congratulated you guys on your pictures and you can tell from the video it showed everything. I think the tolerances and fit/finish of everything might go in your favor heavily :P

[@markgwyther6137]

I still don’t believe it. I must be dreaming. Hello E46 v10 please don’t make us wait too long for the next 🙈👍😘

[@riccofernandez3130]

Finally. need more content on the v10

[@BlueberryWrap]

Jay is looking so much better bald go on man

[@Biggus_Dickus_69]

Ahhh seeing this on my feed brought a massive smile to my face! You're an absolute legend Phil, love this project and love all your cars...incredible collection. I'd like to ask you, how do you feel about the S85 V10 itself? For me it's probably (despite the cult following and fanboys of which I am one!) the most underrated performance engine of all time because of the reliability scaremongering and because it's a BMW engine and not from a supercar manufacturer like Ferrari etc. It's the definition of exotic, sounds out of this world (really looking forward to how it sounds with your headers!) and how many can say their engine is legit F1 inspired? I currently have a one-off Eventuri all-carbon fibre plenum prototype paired with their carbon intakes on my S85 and it sounds absolutely incredible, totally recommend one when they're released for your build man! Keep smashing it mate 👍

[@driftworks]

Thanks man! I think it's a very special engine, especially as it & the 8 cylinder version are the last real M engines ever to be made. Eventuri do great stuff! I'm not sure I'll have any space for an airbox at all (definitely not a standard shape one), but it'd be nice to make one if I can.

[@cheesepizza87]

Always love a DW update regardless to the owner or car, granted there mostly Phil’s

[@drewsteroriginals4564]

Intereting video, Smashed it on the second go - good effort!! be good to see the end results - good work!

[@rayhaanf]

That is so cool.

[@Robmac90]

My favourite build series, would love to hear how you guys are getting on 👊

[@Edwardrae1234]

FINALLY!!!

[@ccjelley2390]

I only just finished watching the V10 series ! Seamlessly connecting with this one...

[@tinyspeedshop8196]

Happy happ happ. New Driftvlogs!

[@Andrew4181975]

Going super high tech for designing headers. I would've though just getting in there with some piping and flanges from the original manifolds would be the case for building them, but you def. are going for maximum flow and power. I want to see the E30 M3 track car fixed, Luv that car!

[@Hybrid330i]

Well done lads ... looking to do this for my ecoboost mk1 escort project.

[@tegjez4864]

Amazing

[@quest8795]

This may well be the best looking and sounding E46 out there once it's all together. Always happy to see progress on it! Once this is finished, people will start nagging you about the S15 again, they'll bring back #makephildriftagain haha

[@MrNathan707]

i mean who doesnt want to hear DW86 growling around a track again

[@11_10s_racing]

Yyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssss v10 baby

[@sherwinmolutsi5539]

Finally... I AM happy now

[@gwynn1104]

Super interesting

[@e30_lad_ireland]

Fair play guys!

[@MotorsportMonkey]

As a CAD nerd i found that way cooler than actual metal side, interesting stuff!

[@HGChannel2020]

continue this pleaseeeeeeee

[@driftworks]

Shouldn't be too long before we see an update.

[@jarppa746]

Cool 😎

[@carrier7676]

Hey wait a sec... what happened to the e30? And the Lambo?.... Nah, just messing with you! Lol! Phenomenal work guys! Thanks for this amazing update and keep up the great work! P.S. Can I have the AC Schnitzer wheels?

[@brodie661114]

Missed this build series

[@frankiewalnuts]

Jay you've got this with the skin head... Looking good mate suits you

[@Nateclrk]

Whether its Lots of tape or Man bags on the low Hard work pays off! ✌ Cant wait to hear her scream!

[@kierowik1]

Awsome videos !!! Did you guys retained idle controllers or deleted them?

[@muhsinmisbah1524]

Finally

[@morebouncetotheounce]

@18:43 you definitely checked for that area for a crack afterwards 😅 Hope it was just the software rendering a bit funny

[@KINGL3WI]

I noticed it too

[@satanaz]

generic complaint comment j/k great stuff, cant wait for the headers to be ready!

[@xxquackixx178]

the youtube review is a good idea for asynchronous presentation of the result

[@SaqibKhaliq]

Great video. Is this just 10-1, or are you also shooting for equal length? Sorry if I missed it.

[@mattmarshall747]

🔥🔥

[@classicvin]

Incredible technology! Just out of interest, when are the Amazon e46 radiators / intercoolers / oil coolers coming on the website? ;)

[@jonny_skatez]

Watching that camera glide across the floor was trippy lmao

[@mrmoss149]

" Thanks Internet". 😆

[@Matty.Hill_87]

I can't believe it's 2 years since you bought this thing back

[@TVtwarn]

One future update i would personally and absolutely ADORE would be the hi5 doing some skids

[@aslee3312]

Who the hell is Phil Morrison.. I only know Phil from Driftworks! 😬

[@driftworks]

Haha, it took me three goes to get to Hi I'm Phil Morrison. I officially forgot how to vlog.

[@christomofo88]

I love that you even doubted that one of the most meticulous people when it comes to cars could have done anything except an awesome job of scanning it 🤣

[@albertovo5127]

🤯

[@TheJkghfg]

Coming home from work to a 20+ min video about the V10 M3 was like finding Aly Michalka in my bedroom. Fucking brilliant!

[@driftworks]

😂 I just had to google who that was to check if it was a compliment 😂

[@TheJkghfg]

@@driftworks yea yea is that what you told her 😂👍

[@griptopia]

lol.. awesome stuff.. but.. powder takes way less time for 3d scanning and spray grease or vaselene.. the Leica new 3d scanner is amazeballs.. cannot wait to see the headers.. later dudes..

[@azmontana1]

How much would something like this cost? Great video.

[@andrewkerman5347]

Phill who made that front bumper? Looks awesome, would love to get one for my e46

[@driftworks]

It's a racecar part with a load of extra reshaping work at Gaz's bodyshop.

[@abc123732]

There's an intro we haven't heard for a while

[@driftworks]

I enjoyed hearing it myself 😄
