BimmerWorld/James Clay Pikes Peak 2023 - FULL RUN to summit in 1400hp BMW Bergsteiger E36 M3

Pikes Peak is always full of its ups and downs, literally with the bumps on the road and emotionally as you not only struggle to breathe, but keep a 1400hp car on the very edge at all times to find every bit of time possible.

Should we bring the Bergsteiger back to the mountain next year? Or should do other events with it? What do you think?

[@JamesLoosli]

Would be rad to see this thing run time attack events.

[@ICEV]

Back to the mountain. And other events for ride alongs at Chin Track Days. Save me a seat. Have fun!

[@chris5401000]

Hell yes

[@weedshoes5089]

Back to the mountain 100%. A Nurburgring lap time would definitely add to the legacy of this car in a majorly cool way.

[@bryanfyler3921]

Well it is the mountain climber… Hell yes you better bring it back!

[@weedshoes5089]

Just in case anyone is wondering, yes, James, Wayne, and the Bergsteiger are just as cool in person as they appear on here. Thank y’all for making the trip and setting such a great example for other teams!

[@chriskni2821]

Heck of a run, had him in the first two sectors. Congrats James! You’ll get him next year!

[@KerryDrift]

[@elsabor67]

It was awesome to finally meet you and the car this year. Any event it is signed up for it will do awesome!!!!!

[@briank3571]

[@tollefreyerson6710]

Great video! What a drive!

[@jonty4664]

What a ride!!! Thanks for bringing us along👍 That was just INCREDIBLE!!

[@j_sazabi6637]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

[@peted3637]

Twin turbo S63! :)

[@BimmerWorldMedia]

P63*, but yes - pretty much the same just the Motorsport version.

[@anowlgazi]

🔥🔥🔥

[@user-jl7hx1zz6d]

You guys should do 1/18 diecast of this car and GTMore! Both cars would be awesome models.

[@BimmerWorldMedia]

Trust us, the idea has crossed our mind before. Maybe it'll happen one day for the Berg.

[@user-jl7hx1zz6d]

@@BimmerWorldMedia Mini Champs or AutoArt would be awesome quality!

[@thejerk885]

Had the opportunity to see this in person. Didnt know much about it but listening to some of the guys talking about it during fan fest it is a beast. Is there a playlist or channel dedicated to its evolution?

[@BimmerWorldMedia]

Thanks! We do have a playlist of all the Bergsteiger related videos. We still need to dive into things a little more, but there just doesn't ever seem to be enough time. Lots of good stuff here - kzbin.info/aero/PLXz6S0w2G3ZiI3qZNIHeT45q1of5KziMx

[@bradgodfrey582]

AWESOME video

[@proxypanda4156]

Hey, that was a good run. Happy you got to the top. Racing is interesting also in a way we as drivers don't wake up in the same mental form equally everyday. There's always next event to crack a better time. Good luck!

[@robenzon]

I just told my wife - that is what I want to do for the rest of my life. Hope it gets true - i already have a e36 318i, just to know the platform, small steps.

[@BimmerWorldMedia]

If she goes along with that, she's a real keeper!

[@hammersm1988]

This looks like a training run.... It is very far off the very edge...

[@BimmerWorldMedia]

Whats your best time up the mountain?

[@hammersm1988]

@@BimmerWorldMedia I may know a thing or two about going up a mountain, unfortunately your mountain is half a world away from mine. Maybe one day I'll bring my LS3 powered E36 to your mountain as well kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWbCqnaEbsySbpY

@@hammersm1988 Watch 30 seconds of your vid, got bored.

[@user-nb7jn4pg2l]

Lost a couple of seconds at the start when the green flag dropped..

[@BimmerWorldMedia]

Timing doesn't start with the flag, it starts when you cross the starting line a few hundred feet beyond there. Already carrying almost 100mph at that point, no time lost there!

[@user-nb7jn4pg2l]

@@BimmerWorldMedia I see.. Thanks.
