i've been thinking if my engine ever blew i would do something like this but the sound of something like having to lower the subframe just to swap out the spark plugs sounds ridiculous/hilariously awesome
doesn't take away from this car one bit though, gawwd i could drool over this car all day

Thank you. It has been so much fun. Lowering the motor, its just like I own an older ferrari.... haha. Honestly though it isnt too bad.

Truly amazing and glad this car is being promoted through reviewers like Leno so car connoisseurs everywhere can appreciate.
Btw, what engine is now residing in the e92 m3 you have in your possession?

The e92 was given the 4.0L that the 1series had before. It was a two lift job.

Did Jay mishift your car in the video? Sounded like it when he apologized.

Despite enjoying this car as a FBO 135i, 4.0 1m3, and later 4.6L 1m3, the factory 1m still has a huge place in my heart. I would love to own a stock white 1m.

CarbonRev is the OE supplier of the Ford GT350R and Ford GT carbon wheels and is going to begin OE production for several other car manufacturers. That production drives up manufacturing and with time comes technology advancements which will both heavily bring down cost to the consumer. Carbon Wheels enhance so many aspects of performance, safety ( stronger than aluminum) and also help with mpg.

Marco is a unique enthusiast that appreciates the full build and attention to detail. He also understands cars are made to be driven, and driven regularly. Best part of this build is it gets used, its not a show car or a dyno queen but a car for a driver; a dedicated enthusiast who simply appreciates great cars. The car and the owner deserve all the love it gets. Congrats again Marco.

Thank you guys. I can't say enough how much different the Dinan 4.6L is from the factory 4.0 . Seriously an honor to be at SEMA with you guys. I really appreciate everything.
