You’ve Never Seen A BMW Like THIS Before | 1150HP 1100KG E36 [TECH TOUR]

[@rbmwiv]

Gotta be the sweetest e36 I’ve seen and I’ve been working on and building bmw race cars for 30 years. Awesome car.

[@westonlieberum1]

That car looks seriously aggressive I love the vents cut under the car the way they are

[@faizalmohd9536]

Good video format. Lots of focus on the car itself while we listen to the background conversation. 😃

[@hpa101]

Cheers for the encouragement, we're doing our best to get a bit heavier with b-roll when we can and Scott here did a wicked job to get a lot at SEMA =) - Taz.

[@rickd955]

As always, excellent interviewing, informative and enjoyable to watch. Greetings from Germany.

[@CorruptInfinityOfficial]

This is one of those cars that you play in a video game and it terrifies you to drive wot in a track with any curve 👌

[@haaseuros9789]

Seen this thing at pri indy. They were super nice. Let me mess with the steering wheel to see how I liked it and now I own one.

[@hpa101]

That's awesome! Real nice bunch of people eh, excited to see how it goes at Pikes Peak =) - Taz.

[@Incogkneetoe]

Damn.. that things amazing.. very impressive.. good find guys

[@MartlRS]

Hope they got a worldclass driver for that beast to get the full potential

[@vader540is]

Love bimmerworld and love the E36!

[@despizedicon]

Andre is the man, as usual.

[@sayan1667]

The idea with the Engine and the Transaxle is brilliant. So simple and effective, but why aren’t there more people doing this?

[@soconoha]

Andy Forrest did it with his Impreza. Twin turbo EG33 with a GTR transaxle for the same reasons.

[@leenux1707]

nice one ! the hot V configuration is more for emission if I remember correctly but it allow cooler intake temp at the valve

[@JJ-yu]

WOW, I guess those "tips" on the front wing/lip would be considered a consumable. But to afford all that down force is pretty spectacular.

[@CorruptInfinityOfficial]

J J there’s a scraper attached to that car 😂

[@jacobwebb8818]

@@CorruptInfinityOfficial there's a car attached to their splitter

[@archive.garage]

The e36 is still a fantastic starting point, I mean only the steel skin and base shape is the same but

[@AutoBodyEverything]

How does something that low and rigid run on pikes peak without destroying the lower panels?

[@woocash7488]

9:30 boost pressure is controlled on the MAP sensor values. This is not a relative pressure but an absolute so you can make the same power with the same boost pressure at any altitude. Please correct me if this is not the case.

[@hpa101]

I have a few links on this topic for you, enjoy :) - Taz. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJjdmp6gbb-Wjpo kzbin.info/www/bejne/emjJkHuYo7tglc0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5a4pWp4l86MkM0

[@exvils]

well if you are at 100kpa atmosphere and trying to make 2bar boost, your turbo is at 3:1 pressure ratio(only theoreticaly as we ignore pre-turbo vacuum as it tries to suck air) when you go to 60kpa atmosphere in pikes peak now your turbo is at 5:1 pressure ratio, far away from map and probably this 2bar boost is unreachable (shaft rotation would be too high and it would be better to go compound turbskies)

[@Skaude]

But youre wrong @woo cash

[@asfmachine]

Has it already been to tech inspection? I see a tech placard.

[@alundrasrt]

Is that me or the cars on Pike PEak are getting lower and lower through the years?

[@oisinmcdaid]

No more dirt roads

[@gordowg1wg145]

Probably been noticing it more since they sealed the whole road - before that they had to leave some clearance for ruts, rocks and suspension travel for the irregularities.

[@archive.garage]

Hopefully they just set it low for the show, that will bottom out and fly off the mountain at the bumpy top, almost happened to the LYFE Motorsports GTR which crashed into the rock luckily instead of going for a short flight

[@zatiticherry3421]

Dope!!! 😎

[@WEIGHT_LOSS_Motorsport]

Holy sh** 😍🤤

[@patrickb8038]

amazing car but bimmerworld needs to hire a new spokesman

[@jamesclay1595]

Wayne’s here for his engineering expertise which gives us an amazing project to talk about.

[@hpa101]

Wayne did fine considering we popped a camera in his face with a stranger at the end of a long few days at SEMA. To be fair if more people just gave accurate answers to what they know and were straight up on not even trying to fudge an answer for the camera on what they don't the world would be a better place 😎 - Taz.

[@oceancity5776]

He's the chassis guy

[@hpa101]

Wayne is the man! We were really lucky to catch him right at the end of SEMA which is a long few days for all involved. He's done a really excellent job for his role on this build, it's immaculate - Taz.

[@Tomyp89]

The youngsters would say: That's a big WANG on that THANG

[@andivatar6383]

I'm quite angry when he doesn't know the turbo spec. Maybe they want to keep it as secret.

[@jamesclay1595]

Suspension/chassis engineer. Powertrain is another group. Weistec GTX3076 Garret turbos on E85.

[@hpa101]

Thanks for that reply James, I will actually pop that in the description. @Andi if we had interviewed the turbo guy about the chassis he wouldn't be able to answer much either. They were literally starting to pack up SEMA around the interview so Andre was a bit thrown and asked that question without really thinking, but Wayne did well regardless I thought =) - Taz.

[@rbmwiv]

I hope he’s not using Bimmer world studs. I have seen at least 8 BMW race cars crash because of the failure of the studs. And each one was sent to a lab and they said it was fatigue caused by impunity’s in the metal. Metallurgical failure was there cause of failure on all 8 cars.

[@jamesclay1595]

Absolutely we are. And multiple reasons for failure for all we've seen that have failed and perfectly confident with the product used properly. When we own 80% of the market, it shouldn't be a shocker that we are 20% of the failures in the market, even with a superior product.

[@gordowg1wg145]

Wheel stud failures? If so, there is NO(!) acceptable reasons for failures there - either they weren't correctly spec'ed for the application - thread engagement, poorly designed hubs/spacers, etc (engineering design problem) or they weren't made properly (manufacturing problem). However, I'm a bit doubtful of that because properly tightened wheel studs should be relatively resistant to fatigue due to the nature of their loading - in one of you gentlemen could please elaborate, it would be appreciated for further consideration?

[@rbmwiv]

Sho Yu Weeni no spacers used and the unsprung weight was the same or less than stock.

[@stockprerunner]

All Things M3 can you please send a link to this article? it kinda makes it seem like your pulling information out your ass to prove a point

[@anidiotinaracingcar]

That amount of downforce...

[@jkrzeminski]

For an "engineer behind the car" this guy knows shit...

[@FunkingPrink]

As he says later on in the interview, he's a chassis engineer so understandably doesn't know all the details about the engine... Give the man some respect.

[@hpa101]

Wayne did fine and we were lucky to get his time. It's one thing to know something, it's another to have a camera in your face and people packing down around you and nail an interview 😉 You might find explaining something you do every day in a succinct manner difficult on camera as well with someone you just met if you gave it a shot, but without people like Wayne who give their time to go out of their comfort zone, there would be no content like this out there at all so there's no need to be too rough - Taz.

[@argilbertson]

This is a BMW the same way a NASCAR is a Toyota Camry

[@hpa101]

Pretty much, but you could argue that this did start of from an actual car rather than just scratch built with some panels added like NASCAR and DTM etc. No matter what though, it looks more BMW than anything else =) - Taz.
