Nothing crazy just a little year end burnout and shot from my larger video of me doing a little U-Turn.

Nope, just curios if it still fits with the LS swap; simmer down.

Looks nice.

Curious*

and yes of course it does, actually sits lower and further back and weighs less than the s52, and I'm not the one upset lol

it also runs on the tears of purists

Awesome. Do you have a build thread for that car any where?

Thanks man!

I started one back in 2011 on bimmerforums, but after it taking 3 more years I kind didn't update it at all specially considering it was nothing ground breaking at the time and the swaps have been done and documented fairly extensively. Also most of the links are dead thanks to imageshack being bought out and sold.

However I'd be happy to answer any specific question if you have any.

Typical ones are what kit, whats done to the motor, what trans etc.

Kit was Vorshlag Alpha kit, Solid front subframe mount, vorshalg longtube headers, no cats, vorshlag drive shaft into stock M3 diff 3.23 lsd rear.

Motor is fairly stock, cam only eps 234/246. I will be boosting it soon.

Trans is a t56 from an 02 GTO paired with LS7 clutch and flywheel.

Also just made 422whp and car weighs 2,800 lbs

I have a silly question: How do you do the burn out?

Damn ruthless fun

hahaha well I guess it's not silly if you've never tried, but every car is different. Mine will do one in first or second just from flooring it and holding the brake, but for these I rev to about 2-3k drop clutch in first gear then quickly stand on the brake. While holding the brake I feather the throttle between 3-4k and let them spin. Then when I feel like I've had enough just let off the brake and ride out the throttle make sure not to over rev. You could shift into second or third if you want to really smoke them. Obviously an auto car or a car with traction control is different you are going to want to turn off everything and just hold the brake and gas slowly feathering the brake so the rear can spin.

Saint thank for your helpful answer.
You hold the brake with your left foot and the gas pedal with the right?
Also what happens with the rear brakes?

I've done my share of swaps with 240s and such, and the tricky part was always the wiring. Did you sent engine and donor harness to be done, or just buy a plug and play harness ready to go? Once I switched to those, man everything got easier.

Yes sir,

and as you know your front brakes do about 80% of the braking that's typically why they are bigger. Your front should hold it enough to either lock up the front wheels and still apply bits of pressure to the rear which yes is not exactly good for your rear brakes, but its kind of how it is. The only way to apply just front brakes and leave the rear off is to install a line lock, typically drag racers use this who need to burnout more. But for the occasional burnout it's not needed.

There wasn't really a plug and play harness at the time and I don't believe there is 100% one now

I sold the s52 and trans/wiring harness from the original setup, because everything is controlled through the GM ecu and tuned through it using HPtuners it was a matter of wiring the BMW into the GM computer. Thankfully I did not tackle this as I do not have the patients for it lol. If I was to do it again I would probably just look into a holley dominator efi, specially for boost applications. I'll probably switch to one down the road though.

They slip against the torque, the front brakes hold as they don't get power. It takes a bit of practice as you're trying to just brake enough to keep from moving forward while the rear spins like a demon.

Thank you guys for your answers.
