940HP BMW F30 Drift Car?! Michael Essa gives a Smoke Show at Tire Slayer Studios! // Build Breakdown

Formula Drift champion Michael Essa JUST took his new freshly built BMW F30 340i off the dyno and stopped by to give it a good ole fashion Scumbag Break-in! Our friends at @fcpeuro fully built the motor and strapped a Samsonas sequential transmission to it, add a huge turbo and huge tires and we got ourselves a party car! Enjoy!

I wish Mike Essa had more of a video presence way sooner, i find him very humble and relatable after seeing him on DDE

[@nickcollins1528]

He's a down to earth dude

Can't wait to see that F12 finished. The internet will break when that thing rips.

Looking back on Mikes career before DDE has been Awesome!!! It’s crazy to see how insane he is behind the wheel but so chill and humble out of the car! But you can definitely see the competitive side and spirit in him every time a car cranks up, he wants to SHRED!!! We need more of Hoonigan And DDE!!!!

I wish they would have let them keep some of the Hoonigan Stuff on the walls and things that were seen and remembered in that building! But DDE And Damon Respect KB so much they will do what they can to Keep His Legacy And Memories Alive In There!

The b58 in the supra/z4 and in all other bmw isn't exactly the same. The head is different using externally mounted exhaust manifolds and the z4/supra uses internal manifolds(the turbo mounts to two exhaust ports). Not sure about the new gen g "chassis" vehicles haha.
