Just wow! Great production. I wish some one would make a video going over all the regulations for building a GT3 car. Whats allowed, whats not. Incredible build guys. If you guys could do another one talking over each point that would be amazing as well.
I can watch this all day
how cleaned is this place??? i love it!!!
Bravo boys... Such a beautiful job, my eyes bled just watching it!
That was an amazing video! Great time lapse. Great music. And a beautiful car with one of my favorite engines.
Whoa! I want to work there. Clean, all the tools, great lighting, and room to work. That's my kind of garage and assembly area.
This is what you get when you order a GT3 spec Z4 from the "Car in White" program. Some assembly required. :) If you have the team and the time it's usually cheaper to build it yourself than have the factory assemble it for you.
Enjoyed this video, thumbs up. Cheers from sunny Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.
BMW Z4 GT3 rocks. Awesome technology.
This is so Amazing!
you can't deny the work that goes into bmws.
Der absolute Hammer, richtig geil.
sick, nothing but love for his job.
amazong. Such knowledge and skill.
Amazing!
Wow. Great work.
Interesting thing about z4s. First gen z4 was a roadster with a folding cloth roof. Later bmw came out with a hardtop coupe version. Second gen z4 street cars all had folding metal roofs. The racing version of 2nd gen z4 had a permanent metal roof welded on.
I love the song, amazing. Es una cancion preciosa.
beautiful
Simply Beauty
Amazing. I'm not even a Bmw fan. But this is really nice.
wow! so cool
Amazing
So great car !!!
amazing
Awesome vid!
amazing!!!
VRAIMENT NICE
Beautiful :')
Fantastiskt! Lycka till på Ring Knutstorp! /L-P BMWCS Sydsektionen
Unique!
thats a beautiful car
i love bmw!!!
CARZY ASSEMBLY!
That was awesome. I wish anyone who built a car did this.
i cry for this build. z4 gt3 is so beautiful. i want to build one >:'D
holy shit
incredible
Im in love😍
A-w-e-s-o-m-e!
@watcbd the car runs centre-locking wheels, so the bearing are in the hub like a rear upright, not on the stub axle.
Got excited when I saw that big Vorshlag box appear.

my dream car
Mine too
nice
Like an F1 workstation!
Can you guys make a vid of and M3 GTR E46 being built?
great job! how long was it ?
Pure hard-work, Pure joy.
Ya definitely wanna go to mechanic school after looking at this!
great video!.....fire breathing V8 Nice! Hey whats the name of the MUse from the background?
@ztunelover I know this just as well as anybody else. I've grown up around working on cars and my uncle owns makes Sprint Car chasis for a living, so i've got connections to people who could help me. But i'm not expecting to get this done in under 2 years, i know its going to take me a long time and alot of money. I'm planning on building the 2001 BMW M3 GT2 car. And i already know (as an artist) that i'm going to have to sculpt and mold and make the body kit personally out of fiberglass lol
I saw the green tank too. My guess is on-board fire suppression system.
The white frame looks like one of those snap together models. If this had been tilt-shifted, I would have believed it was.
@kenenash thanks :)
@ztunelover i only mean cost in parts and modifications i wouldnt be able to do myself (like installing a rollcage) I'm looking to do the labour myself
rough guestimate would be 70 day build? based on 12 hours a day, 5 days a week
awesome job
@Derpropaultyp Thanks!!
So..how do i order one of this beautiful build?😅
First time to see a "clean" racecar without sponsor's stickers
Awesome car and video, i bet the driver bins it tho!!
@jjhoops023 still a crap ton, trust me its worth it to buy from them. You know if you want to just make the roll cage its probably gonna set you back 2g in good quality tubes, but theres a lot more than roll cages in a gt3 car, trust me I had my own hopes of making my 240sx a gt4 car, but when you see the amount of work and expense that goes into making a proper race car, you better hope you have had many many years of training plus some in shop training on that specific car.
What was that green tank behind the driver's seat that was put in before almost anything else?
whats the initial shell made out of ?
i love the car next door. wheels on, wheels off wheels on, wheels off
@oklr1234 That would be badass!!
@LoveTheCity123 This one is a racing car and racing cars are generally hand built - your average BMW you see on the road isn't
Not anymore but they used to be. BMW's built prior to 90s once were. After 1996 E34 5-series, BMW largely abandoned handbuilding their cars except for Rolls Royce. Human beings are excellent craft people but not so well when volume production is needed. The E30, E32, and E34 were renowned for their relatively high build quality.
Was it 600 hours total (everyones time combined) or 600hours in length?
My God, I want this car.
I'd keep it next to my '07 Z4.
@47blackdeath
600 hours, on the description box :)
is he the flash
how fast is it and how much is it
And it takes only a second to F@#k it up. Cool vid.
is this a time-lapse shot at a low frame rate? Or is there more compositing involved?
@superhipergoku
read the description of the video...
"Music: Mindthings - Sounds From The Past"
@ztunelover If i could make a carbon fiber peice myself. i would, but sadly it doesnt work that way. Fiberglass on the other hand is fairly easy to make yourself once you have a proper mold for it. And i tried to come up with a cost in parts once, but i must have dreaming because theres no way that the parts would only cost me $75,000
@eaglesdood16 Test fitting.
@jjhoops023 If you must ask you can't afford it. 150ish? Plus meticulous maintenance.
ztunelover 150k to 200k. that and you will likely use up around $20,000 in tires per race. thats just one race. then you have to field tools, at least one replacement engine, a race crew, team manager, etc. it adds up quickly. this is why its almost impossible to race professionally without corporate sponsors.
It has a Strut Front suspension?? AM I seeing that right at 1:41... I expected unequal wishbones for a Race Car....Must be the same as stock probably for the GT3 rules...
btw next time read discriptions song is in the description -,-
guys, question: wouldn't machine or robotic assembly be more precise than human assembly? why do they use human resources when they can use machine to conduct mass production? or this is just a designing process?
You could not get a robot to put together the parts that he did
Jeffrey Liu for all their speed and precision no machine can replace the human eye or human judgement. thats why even with lasers for quality control, car companies still use human beings to quality check cars on an assembly line.
Cost. Production cars are built on assembly lines where the production robots are designed to repeat the same thing over and over 100's of times a day for years. They make hundreds of thousands of production vehicles so the cost of designing these robots becomes negligible when spread over so many cars. The Z4 GT3 and other similar race cars like it are limited production so designing production robots to build them is cost restrictive. As an example lets say it costs 2 million to design a production line (this is low estimate btw) for a new car - they produce 2 million cars on that production line and the cost is $1/car. Now lets saw we produce only 20 Z4 GT3's on this 2 million dollar production line - the cost now is $100,000 per car just to design the production robots for it.
The factory (BMW) will sell you a complete car but it is much more expensive than just buying the pieces and having your race team put it together...
what IS the car next to it?
@PhocksSama I'll get rid of my little 07 3.0i z4. I want that v8!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hamburgers007 that engine would not live happily in a street car. thats a twin turbo racing v8 putting out 508 hp. no mufflers, no cats. bare sheet metal interior, sheetmetal roof permanently welded on. no radio, no nav, etc. if its not needed to go fast you won't find it on this car. hard as a rock suspension intended for a glass smooth race track, not the pot holed streets just waiting to destroy your car.
@ 1:45 why does the steering knuckle look so odd on this car? What function does that funny looking Steering knuckle serve, or does anyone at least know the name of that special assembly so I can look it up on Wikipedia?
watcbd likely its a racing steering box and probably a manual one with no power assist.
@p0werf00L Not that efficient it seems - they had to dismantle the front end they just installed in order to get the engine in!! :)
These gt3 z4's have the weirdest most sexy v8 sound ever...I can't explain the weird sound they make.
something about the author of this song.??????????
Add a build for a Hennessy Vernon Gt.
Is it common for a race car to show up in pieces like that? I've seen video of Porsches arriving pre-assembled.
This is pretty routine. Known as a 'body in white' (name of term, doesn't always refer to color of car) it's defined as a car sold without a drivetrain or interior. As these are sold without VIN numbers, these are not street legal. Typically BMW ships these in pieces known as a KDK or knockdown kit. Since race cars don't need interiors or accessories, its easier and more cost effective just to buy a basic bodyshell and the racing team orders powertrains, seats, etc separately. It saves time and trouble since race team doesn't have to dismantle interior themselves. It's common in drag racing and purpose built race cars. Since these are sold without VIN numbers, these can never be sold, operated or converted into vehicles to be operated on public streets and roadways.
How much would it cost to have a standard Z4 coupe turned into this?
Joshua Boune last i heard these ran for between $150k to $200k. these are pure race cars. no ac no radio no interior no accessories that don't contribute to going fast. trust me you wouldn't be comfortable driving this car for very long.
It's like one giant sexy air fix
@jjhoops023 A gt2 looking m3 you can do for less, but a properly competetive gt2 race car? You want to come close to double that.
@Cre8Thought41 spoken like a truly stressed out mechanic !!
@Shramir And then, it just disappears.. :o
Not a bad way to spend 339,000.00 Euros, I have access to one assembeled by BMW at the BMW Motorsport division in Germany, its for sale any takers?
Genial, Arne >> is your Baby :-)))
@jjhoops023 GT2 and fiberglass? Step up son carbon fiber is here. And if you grew up working around these kinds of cars you should know the expense better than me.
ztunelover actually it depends on what you are trying to do. fiberglass is easier to work with but not as strong or as lightweight as carbon fiber. carbon fiber is also more expensive and far less forgiving when it breaks. depends on which "devil" you want to live with. carbon fiber is by far a more advanced material.
@TeamWestCoastRacing. Your video has been ripped off from UA-cam, edited with a different soundtrack and reposted on FaceBook by user Marchettino.
There is a report feedback option to report users violating UA-cam Terms of service.
why don't they just leave the engine naked without the cover on?
alexander1485 likely for cooling and airflow reasons. these cars run between 160 and 200 mph on a racetrack on a car weighing 3000 pounds or less. the last thing you want is unmanaged airflow whipping your little car around like a kitten with a ball of yarn at those speeds.
>Implying all of that couldn't have been done by a robot assembly line, ten times faster, ten times more accurate.
