Here we go, the first start of the freshly built M3 engine!
I was hoping to have this episode done faster, but with 20 hours of raw footage, it took forever to edit this one, haha. But, it's here!
The previous episode did incredibly well and collected over 1.5 mil...

The long anticipated and overdue rebuild of the project Frankfurt's S65 is finally here!
One of my favorite videos I made to date, and I enjoy every second of wrenching as well as editing. It's a complete step-by-step video assembl...
Behold the entire S65 V8 engine out of the E92 M3 laid out in pieces!
I'm beyond excited to have finally started with the engine rebuild. This video will be going for a complete bare block, to a fully assembled, closed engine. Step by step.
So far, I installed the crankshaft and sealed the bed plate. Tomorrow I'm planting the pistons. I'm loving the process, it's so enjoyable to ...

A new episode of project Cologne!
We are swapping the complete E46 M3 rear end and reinforcing the chassis. We haven't went this deep with the rear end overhaul with another project in the past, and it's a lot of fun!
Reason I'm working on the "race car" now, and...

Part 8 of project Rottweil -- Supercharger time!
Can't remember the last time I made such a short video, haha, but it's fun. More power for the old E39, but it's just the beginning.
The next upcoming episodes will be a all wrench-fest. We have 2 episodes (I think...

The new chapter of project Cologne is here!
The OG project of the channel is back, and I took your advice and we turning the E46 Touring into a track capable car.
We are starting with the always planned 330i M54B30 6-speed swap and then head for the Nürburgring ...
Here are some pictures from the wonderful road trip with project Suonenjoki, Alpina B10 V8S.
6 countries and over 2.500 km (1553k miles) in this magnificent bucket!
Finland is a stunningly beautiful country, it's like driving through a postcard with the roads going up and down, and beautiful scenery in the background.
The car itself is very special, a lot more special than I thoug...
And say Hallo to the rarest E39 Touring, if not the rarest BMW Touring - Alpina B10 V8S, Touring 1 of 43 made! 4.8L of M62 V8 glory created by Alpina.
I totally agree, I absolutely didn't need yet another project to add to the big pile, but I have a couple of reasons why I made an exception.
1. This adventure is a dry run for something big that I'm planning next year, something th...

Buongiorno a tutti!
Yes. It's happening. The very first non-BMW on the channel! 2013 Maserati Quattroporte GTS with a 3.8L Twin-Turbo V8 pumping out 530 PS! Well, at least it used to, but given that it racked up a fascinating 301.000 kilometers (187k miles), it could be a bit less. :D
I bet you have so many questions right now, haha.
Plainly put, I sometimes feel I might've rea...

The FINAL episode project Chicago!
There were moments when I thought this day wouldn't come, but it did! What better send-off than to visit Alpina, be welcomed by them and have the CEO pilot the mighty B7.
I hope that you enjoy this insight into Alpina. If no...
Wanted to share some pictures from Buchloe. :)
The hospitality I received from Alpina was absolutely amazing! We toured all of their facilities, they brought out an amazing lineup of Alpinas such as Z8, Z1, E34 B10 Bi-Turbo, E61 B5, E36 B8, E92 B3 GT3... and Alpina CEO, Andi Bovensiepen took project Chicago for a spin!
It was a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere, on the first da...

May have slightly overdone it, haha, but man is it nice now! This was always my imagination of an ideal, stock, OEM+ interior for the E39. Clean, comfortable and functional.

And hello from Siena, Italy!
Yup! That happened to this poor engine!
Details will follow in the upcoming video, but the block is officially a beer holder now. The way this thing exploded is rather impressive, haha.
Thankfully we have a donor engine that we'll refresh fully!

A lot has been going on lately and I wanted to share some exciting developments with you.
First, the biggest news. I got help with video editing!
Lately, I've been really stretched thin and I'm struggling to find time to do basic things in life between everything that I do. For a while, I was thinking to make a post that I'm looking for a video editor, and back in March, a subscr...
