In this episode Ben and Luke begin the final build-up of the rear trailing arms with wheel bearings, hubs etc. Unlike BMWs which we know inside out, the Imp takes a little time despite being so simple. Nothing that can't fixed with a good cup of tea and a Haynes Manual. https://youtu.be/kczskdiBgW0
It's been a while but the next instalment of the E28 M535i restoration is ready. Luke and Alex have a look over the freshly-built powerplant and discuss the engine bay! https://youtu.be/0vNXdf8g4I4
In this first episode of our B58 Build series, we show you the inside of the BMW B58, tear down the bottom end - with some surprises - and explain what's next in the engine build process. Check out our current range of B58 parts here. https://youtu.be/G8YlDYB3Tfs
Jack's M50 engine came to us as a box of bits, with unfortunately a number of issues to overcome. However, with the goal of a 600+bhp E30 turbo application in mind, we had no problems getting the build specification set and letting the build unfold. Specification includes: Wiseco Pistons (85mm, 8.8:1)SP Components RodsARP Head StudsAthena Cut-Ring Head GasketElring Gasket SetsVAC Motorsports...

With the added power now on tap, this has exposed some serious weaknesses - we got talking with EBC Brakes Racing's Stefan Goddard about these weakpoints recently and that resulted...
David's E36 M3 Evo has been an ongoing project for some time, taking it from a standard engine to something far different - a 12.7:1 compression, 296-degree cammed beast. Besides the hours of blueprinting, trick machining and careful assembly, this engine features the following: JE Pistons 12.5:1, 87mm pistonsSP Components con-rodsACL Race Big End BearingsACL Race Main BearingsSchrick 296/296, 12.4mm lift...
Local vinyl and PPF legend Jamie (of VinylOne fame) approached us to take his M140i to the next level - we of course obliged. Jamie's car was far from stock on arrival - it was running an unknown Stage 2 map, catless downpipe, foam intake filter and modified stock exhaust. The result was an incredibly aggressive driving experience, with some serious...

Many M3s come through our workshops for extensive work, and Tom's Santorini Blue E92 M3 is one of our biggest builds to date. We began with the engine, tearing it down to a bare block to begin work. It was bored to 92.5mm to accept oversized 10.0:1 Mahle Motorsport pistons and then built with VAC Motorsports bearings and a polished...
