It's not as bad as you might think. There are much faster cars that go down the strip with only 1 hand on the wheel. Having to shift every 2 seconds makes the transition annoying. However, after 140mph, 2 hands is a must Lol. Thanks Brian! I filmed so much, just have to edit, upload and write some content! Took some getting used to. I'm not used to looking down and seeing such a large bulge.

I'm gonna be a tease here. I've posted some stuff on IG and YT, but haven't done much on the forums. The car went under the knife and I installed every single part (and more) from the list in one of my previous posts. I've been so busy in the garage and at the track that I haven't been posting much. Here is a picture and some video until I'm able to put together solid content.

Got me beat by 9 years...

Good looking F30

Car sounds great! What was the highest BMW/Euro power at LMT that day?

I like the way you think...

I want to note that when I say "realistic"... that means it could happen in my lifetime. Not anytime soon, but if the stars align... could happen years from now. The "dream" category will never happen.

One day. Need a hauling vehicle first.

Awesome, love the recent additions. BimmerWorld makes good stuff. I'd love to drive/film this thing and give my impression of it on YT. If you're ever up towards Appleton and are interested, let me know!

Love it! If I were ever to do up an E36, I'd be something like this (but with an N54 instead of a 1JZ )

As I begin to increase the boost in this car, the first thing I want to address is the charge pipe. The stock plastic charge pipe is prone to cracking and breaking with increased pressure. Since I don't want to be left stranded on the side of the road, I decided to upgrade the charge pipe right away. There are a ton of options on the market for charge pipe, blow-off valves and diverter valves, but I chose the BMS aluminum charge pipe with a TiAL BOV. In my opinion, this is the best bang-for-your-buck option available. It fits great, has a durable finish, two NPT bungs, includes all the proper hardware and a genuine BOV. If you're starting to mod your N54, I wrote a detailed article about what to look for when shopping for a charge pipe. Check it out here: The Ultimate BMW N54 Charge Pipe & BOV Guide I also filmed a video demonstrating the whole installation process with a few tips/tricks along the way. I'm very satisfied with my choice and don't think there is a better option at this price point. No more worrying about the stock pipe exploding, plus the sound of the TiAL valve is perfect. Now I can continue modding this car!

Find someone with a Grom and ride that around for a day. You'd be surprised how fast you catch on to the clutch/shifting thing. It's much more forgiving than a car.
