900whp BMW 325i Sedan Is A Roll Racing Monster

Seeing this BMW run strong at every SlipStream Roll Race event this past 2018 season, I decided to put together a compilation of the best runs I caught on camera. Ranging from 800-900whp this thing is monster off brake boost and only a few cars can actually hang with it from a 60-65mph roll. You can follow the owner on Instagram @francis_von_louie

Francis is the man. Stupid cool dude. Met him like 4 years ago at H2oi. He was killing GTR's, Supras, 5.0's, etc then. Opened my eyes to the real inline 6 beasts. Boosted M50/52, s50/52/54 are capable 1jz/2jz/Supra killers.

Big props for keeping the bmw engine and building it, e30s&e36s hold a special spot in my heart , love the old schools great job

[@Francis_von_louie]

Thank you

[@twanberg1406]

Rowdy, great sound and even full interior. Respect to owner. This car is a dream.

[@Francis_von_louie]

Thank you

[@dennismelville7532]

WoW...... 900hp is impressive... for a BMW without a 2jz swap. Thank you for coverage of something out of the norm!!

And thats on stock cams and a stock cylinder head

@@Francis_von_louie What gear ratio are you running? Thanks!

[@sasquatch3217]

2jz? Don't make me laugh. Motor is only good properly built with boost, other than that they are shit. I'm building up a straight 6 in a clown shoe that will eat 1000 horse supras for lunch. FOH with that shit. ///Mpower

[@dennismelville7532]

@@sasquatch3217 ok... calm down buddy... "the norm" I was talking about is short cuts that people do to BMW' s down here in the South... the 2jz route. And I didn't say the 2jz was the "be all end all" engine choice. I don't like crossbreeding cars, throws off the balancing that the car was designed for. Of course if an engine is properly built and tuned.. you can move mountains.... so why don't you GTFOH and make your own post... bout you gonna build M power in a shoe box... you sound like a real stupid fanboy that is going to spend 5 times the amount of money it would take to achieve this horsepower if it were a JZ.

[@forgingaerospace5477]

Fun Fact : 2JZ and some M50/M52 come with cast iron blocks and are both inline 6 engines pretty much twins and always are a good head to head match

[@eldrl001]

Close, the M (and S) 50 are the cast iron blocks for the E36/34 inlines, the M52 is an Aluminium block used in the 323i and 328i respectively. Otherwise bang on 👍

[@1slow_gto]

@@eldrl001 us specs single vanos m52s have cast iron blocks due to fuel in the USA having a higher concentration of sulfur that would normally eat away at aluminum blocks

[@eldrl001]

Orlando Hinojosa well I never knew that, you learn something new every day ! Respect from across the pond 👊

[@placeholdername3206]

​@@eldrl001 Yep, in that regard we both got screwd, US and EU. US never got a real ///M motor, but their M52 has iron blocks instead of the EU trash aluminum, which is why you tend to see a lot more turbo M52 builds in the US, where as in Europe we use the M50 non vanos.

[@premiumxperiments6059]

@@eldrl001 m52 in the us model e36 only are iron by blocks. In the z3 model they are aluminum blocks m52. I got an us spec e36 328i with an m52 iron block lol

[@soundseeker63]

The M50/S50 motors are legendary. We all know that. The bit that surprises me is how the trans + rear axle don't tear themselves right out of the car! Be interested to know what trans/prop/diff/shafts he's got and what mods he did to the rear subfame mouts, as they can tear out even on stock power E36s! I miss my old 325 coupe, but in the UK they rust out pretty badly :-(

Which ECU do you use? standard (edited software) or something else, because of the Vanos control. Would be very grateful for the answer

M50B25 intake manifold haha. I knew these bad boys were good for at least 600-700hp, but not almost 1000. Thats nuts.

[@talontsi97videos]

It's on a upgraded manifold now but I have not been able to make a new video of it this season. Stay tuned, I may have some footage from the next 2 events.

Got me good man lol, diff started to make noise so i lowered the boost and i paid the price, turned it up for the next pass and video ended nicely
