The Racer: A BMW Motorsports short film

[Crash_Nemesis]

Had some spare time during lockdown to work on my car and do some track prep work.

Thought I would make a short film about it...

Video is available in 4k.

Feel free to subscribe to the youtube channel. Have had a lot of time during Lockdown to film some things with my e46 M3 that I will be releasing soon.

Hi Flyhid,

The supercharger was removed in 2015. The car has since been NA. I can post a complete mod list if you'd like. I am currently looking at Turner Motorsports CSL airbox with Schrick cams to give that little extra NA grunt. I had been planning on doing the upgrade to either a CSL style box or velocity stacks with cams two years ago, but a work opportunity overseas opened up for me and thus required that I left the car here for a considerable amount of time. Due to lockdown, and me unable to leave the country, I have found more time to work on her again and enjoy her.

I am thinking of starting a new thread on her and her next journey. We'll see what happens over the coming months. Due to me being away for so long, I almost considered selling her as she was just sitting under a cover. Making this video and enjoying her on the track has allowed me to acknowledge that I made the right decision in keeping her.

Indeed my friend! Indeed.

The cars suspension was set to soft for sometime. But after getting her track prepped and putting her back to the hardest setting, wow she feels incredible. I won't be setting her back to soft for some time I imagine.

Wow awesome vid !!! Please give us more ... perhaps some action shots and live sound of that S54 beast on the track.

Will bring the sound crew on the next one. The camera I use does not have built in Microphones. These fancy professional film cameras love to be complicated like that. It does however provide the ability to run a 3rd party professional microphone on the camera, this was just not the goal for the project at hand. On the next one, I'll be sure to remember the microphone and get some awesome audio clips of the car.

Its great to see the car up and running again. Yip I think you should start a tread with the recent changes to this beast.

If I remember correctly you picked up this car in
Cape Town and did a road trip to JHB.......

@"flyhid" Correct, I bought her in 2012 in Cape Town and did a road trip back up with her immediately. 

And yes, it is great to have the car back on track / road after her sitting for so long under a cover whilst I was overseas.
