How to Build real car interior cockpit from BMW e46 - S01E01

[@driftvader8869]

As a drifter / SIM driver and Dad of a small boy I love what you are doing there with your Son and I am sure you both bonded massively through the process of building that together. Probably more than through the playing part.

[@xmzru]

you and your son should do the same thing! I'm sure he would love it

[@o6fade800]

At first, the IPad for a speedometer in the dash was soo cool cuz it’s like the fueltech one, but then I saw you program the e36 speedometer with the key ignition!!! That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen

Am I the only who thinks that all of that is for dad? :D Great build guys

[@adrianomanfredini]

sure! its an adult toy , not for kids

[@alex_botFN]

nah you guys think really mad becaus you dont have kids love car than adults . if dad build for him that mean dad love's kid done.

[@e46sim]

It is for both, But mostly for kids. I have three sons. :D I enjoy the building process more...

[@time608]

Its for both. Have you see driving the son at the End? surely not his first time ;) I think its hard to differenciate the son from the dad. He is his hero and he want to be like him. Its just a totally awsome Project

[@LeBoomStudios]

Such "pseudo gifts" go in both direction. Last year I got my dad the Black Album on vinyl, with me being the only one in our house with a record player wired up ;-)

[@FinestTechnoBeats]

I just wanted to say, that i'd wish my father would have done that with me when i was a kid. The cockpit came out awesome. Thanks for sharing

[@primieralex24]

You're the first Best Dad in the World. So mush love and respect for you. Watch since Haïti

You guys should somehow try to wire in those led strips above the seat to the headlight switch on the setup. That would be pretty cool and it would actually serve a purpose.

There are many plans for the future - light switch, air fans, etc... next season episodes ...

Great build, guys! My thoughts throughout the whole video were: 1) This is looking very good 2) Does mom know about this and does she agree? 😂 Keep up the great work and I hope you really enjoy it very much!

Thank you! Mom is happy that the boy has some passion and sympathizes with his son when he participates in virtual competitions ;)

Greetings! I subcribed to your channel as soon as I figured the purpose of the project and your lesson in sharing, assembling and fabricating skills! 🫡Congratulations on a marvelous example of what family quality time looks and feels like! 😃May you and all of your family members are blessed by having a dedicated father son relationship! 🤩It is a feast for anyone's eyes to observe the effort, enthusiasm and attention to detail of this cockpit- real looking simulator rig! 🤔Sir, I am partially handicapped and let me tell you that you just inspired me on doing one for myself recreating my Dodge Durango GT interior! What better way of enjoying a racing simulator, none other than your own vehicle itself! 🕊️🌇May you all be blessed and have a wonderful day!

[@e46sim]

Thank you for these kind words and I wish you all the best. I hope not to disappoint our followers and will continue to improve this project.

[@FoxZon]

Just to know, the total cost was 2481,76 euros. You did a very good job! Amazing how you created a bord to convert the RPM and speed from game to the real gauges. I would love to have that kind of skill.

[@SuperWhiteBarry]

Bro! You are an AWESOME dad! 4 real!! Seriously considering something like this when building a rig for my kid! Thnx for the inspiration...

[@Sir_Naps_A_Lot]

Gustavs, your a lucky child. Not only do you share a passion with your father but he helps you learn in the process. A father building something like that with his son (Mine would NEVER have done that.) Good on you Dad. Also, you are great with tools and have knowledge of building. Teach your son that. Oh one ore thing Dad. Make sure Gustavs can't drive off in the real car (not that he would but, could save some headaches later in life LMAO) Honestly I can't wait to see what's next.

[@supertouring1]

Your setup is not just amazing, it's obscene/sick. 🤯You should package/sell your the setup. As a touring car fan, I'm so jealous!

[@s3livagant]

I could build you one for cheap, I run a garage and we have many old BMW parts just lying around !

[@ToyotaTF109_F1]

This man made a whole sim rig for his son and it looks way better then my NLR racing rig

[@ChrisKoller513]

I’ve been watching videos on sim racing rigs for the past couple months now. This is leaps & bounds over anything else I’ve seen & I’ve seen some really nice wooden rigs & metal built. From $50 to $100k+ dollar rigs. This one is the one I want to build. I decided on building really quick. I know I want stained wood outside and parts of it inside the stained wood too. However, after seeing your rig, I now want to build using a real dashboard and center counsel and maybe even the driver side interior door panel & seat. Want the styling of the realism using the real interior car parts & dark stained wood & LED lighting. Like a futuristic/plant&earthy/serenity/ergonomic/future-piece vibe&fun styling to it. Luckily I’ll have my father to help me along the way too. There’s a better word for the “earthy/serenity part but can’t think of it.

[@e46sim]

Good luck in achieving what you want!

[@OptomusPrime666]

Wow, well done. I was surprised that the Arduino Dashboard thing is so easy.

[@Lansolot]

You know that kid is having the "my dad is cooler than your dad" argument and winning lol

[@indianabrookz7664]

Get him to start drifting in CarX on that setup with no assist and he'll be tearing up the streets by the time hes 12-15 in a real E46. I love the idea, and i love that for you two. When i grow up and become a dad *im 27 with no kids yet*, i wanna be just like you 🥹💯

[@e46sim]

We started with CarX, but quickly switched to a real simulator - Assetto Corsa, which is really close to reality and teaches a lot of skills.

Malači! Izmantot telefonu kā Simhub paneli magnetola vietā izskatās dīvaini, tā vietā var izmantot nelielu displeju kas tieši iederās tajā plastmasiņā, kas izskatīsies smukāk. Labi paveikts darbs! Es noteikti redzu, ka šo kabīnīti varētu izmantot lai spēlētu, piemēram, ETS2, ja nu apnīk driftot, un vajag mazliet mieru. 👏 Edits: Es paskatījos tālak jauno video, stream deck ir daudz labāk.
