- ►This week on the BMW F30 340i Drift Taxi build, follow Michael Essa and his team as they transform a stock 340i into a fire-breathing drift machine. The journey begins with getting the drivetrain into the car and sending the chassis off for paint with all the fabrication complete. The engine, featuring a modified N54 intake manifold, a new exhaust camshaft, Supertech valvetrain, and some intake porting, is brought over to Papadakis Racing for power modifications. With everything in place, the engine and drivetrain are finally installed.
As the build progresses, the team works tirelessly to get the Drift Taxi buttoned up and tuned on the dyno, racing against the clock to be ready for Gridlife Midwest. The first firing of the B58 engine brings more concerns than joy, as oil smoke billows from the titanium hood dump. The team faces confusion and setbacks, but they push through to ensure the car is ready for its debut.
In the final stages, the build is completed just in time for Gridlife Midwest. After a grueling 30-hour trip to Gingerman Raceway, the BMW F30 340i Drift Taxi takes to the track, delivering sideways, smoky rides to excited fans. Witness the culmination of weeks of hard work and determination as the Drift Taxi shreds its way to victory in this all-encompassing compilation episode.

Very enjoyable. That was some real dedication. My old ass would have thrown the towel in nowadays. You still pushed on like we did 20 years ago . Fairplay! 😎
Always good to have an event deadline looming haha!
It's a good watch when you can see Mike and Tim working. He's pretty much the best part of DDE and it's always good to see the champ sliding!
Essa is a Legend - and you simply cant go wrong with our boy Tim
Yeah! Finally comes part two!
This is the most exceptional car episode I have ever watched, specifically on the f30 model. As an owner of an F30, I am truly amazed by your exceptional work.
this is at a higher level: Excellent job, gentlemen: Furthermore, congratulations to your family for allocating the necessary time for you to construct this.
If this was in 2021, why didn’t this video come out way sooner?
Your Multitasking skills is what dreams are made of.. Some of the ATC Controllers ive trained would love you MT skills.. Salute!
Wow this is way better than the dde vlogs
WIsh we could have got Essa full time!
@fcpeuro-media Essa is gonna have many things to record soon he leave dde and that waste of his time. And I'm hardly waiting to see his sailing ⛵️ adventures... ❤😊🥰🥰🥰
Gezz I can't believe the amount of work that goes into building a drift car.. it's like almost a full quarter mile drag car.. sort of u know what I mean guys..
No shortage of work - especially when trying to build a car at this level!
This settles it, Im skipping the M5 purchase and going M4 or 440i and do a poor mans build for track days... Time to retire the A4..
Doooo do it!
Gotta go b4 the end.. was it the PCV?
It was very entertaining to watch this build, from scratch to reapin the F30 on track! Have you guys changed anything in the sump/oilling or are you running it fully stock?
Thank you for doing this stuff Mike after watching a video I couldn’t stop working on my car. I got a 90 I was ripping the radiators off like a gorilla.
How much HP did you get??
A girl can be from the countryside, but the silicone couplers can't be blue 🤣
Drifting is to racing like a circke herk is to dating. Real men do neither but adolescent biys do both.
Mike Essa the 🐐
