Why is BBS E88 THE MOST EXPENSIVE Motorsport Wheel | 200K Giveaway!

[@Jangobipbip]

Misha and Robert, it was the bolts in this case...Wheels are being rebuilt with bigger bolts actually. Glad we could have a fun lap a bit later ! See you :)

[@RobertMitchell]

Thank you for the feedback. Now you’re in the M8 bolt club 🤣

[@Jangobipbip]

Robert Mitchell ahah I guess! Thank you for welcoming 😅 My old E88 really need them including new centers and let’s go again for thousands of lap

[@RAB993]

@@RobertMitchell Why not first M7 Bolts like every other 3 piece Wheel

[@psydafke]

RAB911 bc M8 competition is hard to beat 😅

[@the1andonlyf1sh15]

lots of respect for knowing your car so well that you immediately noticed even a minor loss in pressure

[@ioannisioannou7518]

I just love how meticulous Robert is with running Apex and his cars. You can tell his OCD and attention to detail, its what makes a difference. I wouldn’t trust anyone else.

[@Sophie-and-Ken]

Sounds like Robert Kubica will forever be the standard for driving a rental car hard.

[@Salpeteroxid]

@Mal Function Like many before you have said too.

[@SpenserRoger]

@Mal Function can you explain?

[@KastaRules]

There are so many hidden costs in running a business like this one... it's crazy. I understand the rental prices now.

[@Salpeteroxid]

How is maintenance a hidden cost?

[@KastaRules]

@@Salpeteroxid "Hidden" to the general public who has no idea these rim drums crack that easily and have to be replaced quite often. I have bent alloy rims in the past but they were always fixable.

[@EarlLeeBird]

@5:55 apparently Robert is also an automotive poet: This is the outer, This is the seal, This all sandwiches the star in between and is what makes the wheel.

[@emenesu]

BBS disstrack dropping soon

[@Phil_T86]

Let Robert know, this has been a problem for years with E88’s as for some reason the motorsport barrells are too soft. All the guys including myself that bought these spec’d them with road barrells which don’t get this problem. I even got told to do this from other owners before I bought mine.

[@MaciekJutrzenka]

do u know maybe if the motorsport ones are lighter? maybe they just assume the rim will have less abuse (aka potholes) and they used less material?

[@Frankestein01nl]

I'm just guessing less weight equals faster laptimes during races. The rims are beautyful though..

[@SpenserRoger]

I wonder if there's a way to treat them to make them stronger? Perhaps cryo-treatment and/or laser shot peening (up to 12mm depth with greater reduction of crack growth rates and improved fatigue resistance compared to regular shot peening).

[@yucannthahvitt]

@@SpenserRoger You could maybe extend the life a bit with some sort of treatment, but the endurance limit of the Aluminum will be reached faster than in a better designed wheel no matter what. It's a design flaw. You can pass it off as the intent of the designer that the wheel barrel has a very finite life, but in the end it is a flaw; strength and fatigue life was sacrificed for the sake of either weight or cost, I don't know because I'm not privy to the design process BBS took.

[@SpenserRoger]

@@yucannthahvitt pretty sure failure is a factor possibly resulting from both over stress and under strength. Over stress by having a huge fat laden sedan raced on the ring, and under strength by...well it really doesn't matter however laser shot peening would provide more strength. It's not so much a factor of the cycles and since catastrophic failure isn't occurring...trying laser shot peened barrels might result in effectively a wheel which no longer experiences a celebratory decrepitude. 🤣 lmao.

[@steve5x565]

I really like the fact you guys aren’t scared of stating facts about the stuff you use on these cars. It shows absolute dedication to making sure your cars are safe rather than pretty. They still look fantastic anyway. One question though, if you don’t mind, the standard F8- (M3/M4) wheels are forged and damn expensive are they too heavy, not strong enough or just not able to take the tire fitment you need for the track?

[@cali_cal]

forged are never heavy

[@pedrohenriques2171]

I don't think we would see an explanation like this one everywhere else. Talk about transparency! PRO stuff.

[@michblitz]

i sit on my simulator most nights and binge watch your channel. you have given me over 1000 true lap lessons and so many facts about the legend its self. also for content you should find a way of driving a few classic drm cars. im more than eager to see you just review the technology.. let alone hears the sound. i was fortunate enough to come to eifel in 2015 but the expence was above my paycheck for have a lap but im sure i will see you in the next few years. i hope stay safe on the track!! mike

[@Bogdyindahous]

Man, just awesome, guys! Thanks Misha, thanks Robert! This is one of the most greatest chanels or things that ever happened!

[@bastelnekes4900]

Hey misha congrats on the 200k! Been here since the start of the channel. Loved the transition from boosted boris to being yourself. Still remember the video from shmee before the vlogs even started, subscribed that very moment and have seen almost every video ever since! Congrats on the accomplishment and i hope you celebrate it as good as you should!

[@mevlutyavuz3776]

I was today years old when i learned he was boosted boris. When i watch his first video i said to myself 'i know this guy from anywhere else' thanks man :D

[@djwnakata9406]

I don’t just want a lap, (especially in the Porsche), I need one.

[@mixworks-de]

That comment does not count haha!

[@nEx944]

I would love to win a lap! I met Robert this year, and he was so nice! He even helped me out by pointing to a mechanic bec. my blue Mini seemed to have trouble with the engine.

Congratulations on hitting 200k. What an awesome prize. I am over from 10th-13th October

[@MrMillenium67]

A huge congrats on reaching 200k subs Misha. It is very well deserved but it should be way more!

[@ewrsteading235]

I remember a customer coming to us moaning about how his race wheels were all cracked, what a pile of #### they were and how he wanted us to help him replace them. We started asking questions and it turned out they came to him with a race car he bought so were all second hand. After taking the build dates and knowing what car he bought we were able to explain that the wheels were f###ed because they'd done Daytona 24 hours and Le Mans plus potentially another Daytona, Spa and Nurbürgring too. He bought a load of new sets then totalled the car!

[@b4Bub0i]

I'd love to go out. I still remember first getting to know you back when phil broke down, and shortly after learning about your vlog. You getting pulled over in france by the Military for your fake carbon wheels on the shit box E36. I was quite shocked wen you stopped working with the old company (no names till now I guess, also F for the helmet and the 42056 Model), but watching Apex grow, with you on the forefront of the publicity for it, is awesome. Keep it up, stay as you where back then, and are right now. I'm still looking forward to your videos, and get excited to watch them after all those years...

[@michieldewilde8644]

[@FETTSpence]

And this kids is why BBS is insolvent again, because Apex said the maintance costs are too high :D Foodshot 0/10

[@DuBstep115]

BBS is doing something wrong budgeting the costs. Because every time there is economic downturn they go bankrupt like 2007 Great Recession , 2011 European debt crisis and now 2020 with corona.

@@protrackwheels3546 Yeah, they look great! Can you tell us the weight difference with the E88?

[@protrackwheels3546]

@@Cane306 I received pics from a customer many month ago. We also phoned and he said (he measured two different sizes) around 100-200g. One time E88 lighter, one time ONE. So, we are not talking about one kilogramm difference. They are nearly the same. Regards Christoph I ask apex to put a E88 wheel on the scale. We have 10, 10.5 and 11x18 in stock and can compare.

[@protrackwheels3546]

@@Cane306 We have many pics with wheels on the scale on our insta account. 10x18 ET25 (like on the M4) is 9460gr. TÜV approved wheel load is 630kg. (it´s not the same compared to JWL or VIA, requirements at TÜV are higher)

Great advice. For $5000 USD or more for the 19" LM BBS for my F80...is a little much considering the cracking issue. I am not Misha but track my M3 24 days out of the year... Would rather go with APEX rracing wheels...I almost made a huge mistake.

I've been in the GT2RS MR for a lap, but have been thinking about a lap in the M3. It would be a very pleasure to get a ride in the M3 for the experience and i just love the vibe at Apex. Good service and very kind people. If I don't win I am okey with it because other people deserve a lap aswel on this amazing track. Misha u are a legend! Cya soon at the ring!!

I think it has to do with which hardware you are running and torque specs on the bolts. Are you using radinox and which technology is used to make the barrels? Split wheels aren’t worse than one-piece, it just depends on how you build them.
