Cutting up my E30 BMW M3 for more lows!

  • My E30 BMW M3 Track Car gets a load of suspension and bodywork to make it even lower than it was before. I designed the chassis around this ride height, so it's not just a case of slamming it.

    That has to be my favorite car that you have. Yes, the Murcie is Amazing too, but I think the E30 M3 is my favorite car of all time. The suspension redesigns (many) is just Insane ! There is a very easy way to raise the hood on old BMWs with the backwards opening hood. Just use washers under the bolts that the rear rollers that tuck it down. I had to do that on my E34 to clear the wiper arms that always tend to hit the hood because clearance is so tight. Yes, it's too low but since Racecar ,OK.

    Amazing work to get those clearances bang on and you've done an amazing job being sympathetic to the lines of the car, just looks more beastly than ever! If they work out in practice would you consider taking moulds of them to have them remade in carbon or fibreglass? Partly because I wonder how all the various layers are going to stand up to cracking in the long term...

    • @driftworks
      @driftworks  Год назад +1

      I factor it in, but the reality is that you have to be going very fast to compress the spring to the dampers bumpstop, so you will only ever have very minimal steering angle.
