Glad we could help guys!!! (that was our radiator and hoses)
Thank you! I was so caught up with stuff I didn't get a chance to see who it was. If we catch you at another race I'll owe you some hoses and some beers!
Good on you!
Dude, this is some quality content.
Looks like Drive is coming back to life, and i just wish you to keep it up.
I hope it refrains from stupid funding schemes and at the same time for it to let cool people do their thing.

it's really funny when someone tries to be a smart ass having failed to understand the point.
i actually did hold a paid subscription to Drive back in the day, that was fine with me.
the problem was that the content 'goodness' was never there from some point on.
and for some reason those videos had a couple of thousand views.
i dunno why, but it seems apparent that that scheme didn't work. at the same time, some channels really do well with patreon and what not. granted, these mostly seem to have a modest production complexity.
what i am actually saying is that they should come up with an arrangement that would work. there must be a way, i hope.
Fix the broken stuff, dial it in. Check things that are likely to go wrong, dial all that in. Set it up properly, and do this endurance thing again!
Thaddeus Sandford log everything that happened what worked what worked, what broke and what can improved. they do that I guarantee they will finish in the top 10 or higher maybe even podium.
Yep, they have to keep racing it for sure !
For basically a salvaged car....the car was awesome....the motor held up.....a bummer the trans didn't....road racing is brutal on clutch and tranny.....the other events beat the car too....tells you that BMW builds a pretty damn good car.....
amazing series guys. great production. can't wait to see what's in store for next year
This deserves a million view. Owning an e30 for the past few months has changed how i look at the car, and this video made me realize what i can do with it. Thanks RYAN and CREW!
good job guys, looks like a ton of fun!

Excellent! Excellent! Seriously some of the best youtubery out there. Kudos to the BMW engineers as well for the e30.
Big E It might be just my opinion. But the e30 is the best car ever Build
Awesome series, really liked it. I hope one day I can participate in a endurance race.
Jonathan Lopez Hey let's go halfsies and create a car. I have a 04 Volvo V70 fwd. That is itching to race. Hell it comes stock with a front strut brace lol.
6:33 Miata having a bad day. Good video
Haha, we were so stoked when one of the camera guys came back with that shot!
Next car should be an Audi S4 (B5 Chassis)! It will do all the same stuff but faster
I really loved this mini-series. It was perfect and hyper realistic. It showed the woes and the feats of what the BMW E30 could do when people are behind it, loving and gunning it through all corners and through all straights. I have an E36 and wouldn't dare do this to it, but I see that if I were to, it could probably stand the test. Again, you guys have done an amazing job, and I thank you all that you created this!!!!!
Great series, enjoyed watching it, looking forward to more of this kind of stuff.
😭😭its so emotional😭😭
Awesome series, really liked it! Makes me want to go get an E30 and slam a roll cage in it :)
Felix Malmberg Go and get one bro. I drive one myself. But only on Road. They are awesome cars. Handling is awesome. Parts arent that expansive. The e30 has the biggest fan community in the world. Support is awesome. The Car is awesome. And its fucking easy to work on
E36 is also a great option. Its light, affordable, sounds great and is faster.
Claude V. Affordable is relativ. 6 Zylinder 2 door models aren that Cheap anymore. You have to spend more than 6000€ for a good one
you want the 4 door e36 for racing, 100kg lighter than the coupe
OvalD I dont wanna Race them. I wanna build them to look good. Stance man. Stance
"If you dont chew big red, the Fuck You" needs to be a tee shirt
its a quote from Talladega Nights
This is the kind of content I subscribed to drive for in the beginning.
Honest content.
keep up the good work
So inspiring.Well done guys
This is an awesome glimpse into the world of ChumpCar. My friends and I bought an e36 318ti freshman year of college that we did winter autocross with, then track days, and eventually ChumpCar at Road America. Our roll cage failed tech inspection, but we stayed up until the wee hours piecing together Grade 8 bolts and welding missed joints with a borrowed MIG from a fellow competitor, and we were on track at sunrise. The Chump community is unique - you won't find a more helpful paddock in any other form of motorsport.

Your series' over the years have been truly some of the most inspirational I've seen on UA-cam.
Thank you!
i love cars like this guys that people buy and modify for function, converting a rally car to a track car thats awesone
A true testament to the E30 BMW. I love those cars. Great series guys!! Thanks
I'm working on selling my '87 325is and this videoseries has made me second guess that decision... great job!
J. McLaughlin Dont sell it man. E30 are getting high in Value. Keep it and Love it
J. McLaughlin only sell it to me pls
This is one of the best series I've seen in a while, on any platform. Great job.
I am sad that this is the last of this series. Its some really high quality work and if drive can keep making content anywhere like this they'll be in the money.
Great stuff, guys. As a E30 owner for the past 20+ years, I've totally enjoyed watching your series.
Thank you.
One of the best series I have watched, if not the best. Very entertaining!! Thanks!
Ryan and Team, Great series! Thanks for sharing! The e30 has become my dream car over the last year and this series just fueled that dream! I’d love to hear more about what e30-specific lessons you learned.
Greatest auto soap opera ever. Keep up the good work.
In the last hours of 2018 i came across this epic e30 tale ..amazing job guys you rock !! E30 are beasts and you guys believed in their potential..amazing team work ethics ..luved that story
Fantastic series. It looked like a lot of hard work, but well worth the effort. I would love to see more of this car and more content like this. Keep it up guys, well done.
I'm gonna miss this rig, and its story. Hope Ryan comes back for something in the future, but he seemed pretty worn out by the whole ordeal, so I'd understand if he didn't. Great job overall. The idea, the staff, and the presentation were all surreal. Much appreciated.
I hope we see more of Ryan , that guy is a seriously cool dude and a excellent host!
Thank you! If you haven't already, there's some new My Life as a Rallyist I put out last October... and there's more My Life as a Rallyist coming up very soon!
hooooooorayyyyyyyyyy
Stoked to see /Drive coming out with grass-roots small guy stuff like this. Roadkill/Motortrend really don't capture what this series did, or what Corbin's show is doing. Thanks for giving little guys like this some funding and allowing them to tell their story, /Drive!
great video guys, keep it up! :) nice to see you all struggling with good, old e30
Hope you guys can bring the E30 back to this event next year address the issues you had and make a better run, this was an awesome experience, hope you bring more content such as this, it could be about further upgrades on the E30 or maybe some other project car. Congratz on the E30, the race and this series and keep it up.
All in all the BMW proved to be amazingly reliable, I was expecting a lot more things to go wrong in a long-distance endurance race... you guys did a fantastic job in making it race-ready.
Great series, I hope you'll be back soon with another project of some sort. :)
This was a great series to watch! One of the more unique cars at that endurance race imo
Most endurance racing is like this -- Chump, Lemons, WRL, AER, etc. Everybody helps everybody. It's like everyone is one huge team.
On the subject of fuel consumption, if you have to conserve gas, stop using full throttle. As I've tried to teach my teammates, the difference between 50/75/100% throttle is the volume of gas; it'll only have a few seconds difference in speed. In an endurance race, those seconds don't matter vs. the loss of laps (not all tracks have pit timing loops) and the time on pit road (which for chump is a required 5mins.) Now that we're racing (sigh) an electric car, they _have to_ be very conservative with that right foot. Plus, once you know you'll not get your speed back quickly, you begin to drive with more momentum.
Having to drive with a single gear will also teach you to hold on to momentum. THSCC's HPDE program includes that as an on track exercise. That's a valuable skill in endurance racing... drive a bit slower in 4th/5th or spend an hour changing the transmission.
(PS: I'm surprised they flagged that contact. Chump (east region) has a nasty reputation for ignoring contact.)
Awesome man!! God Bless You'll!! This is what DRIVE should be all about!! Keep it up!!
Ryan, truly amazing work with this series. At the beginning I knew nothing about cars, and now I'm subscribed to /Drive and doing my research to find my way into the racing community. Big-ups to Jagger and Downey as well, y'all make a good team.
Racing car is not about how good the driver is, it’s about the teamwork and the team efforts, well done team!
/My Life as a Rallyist /BORN A CAR I seriously love everything you guys put together
Absolutely my favorite series yet!
Is it over already? I loved this project, how real and awesome it was! thank you guys! and congrats on finishing the events!
Got i love E30"s rallye drift drift drag dont matter what you do it wil allways be the best 80s ride ever made ❤️
The yellow crx is glorious!!
Wow, i am really impressed by you guys! This and corbin's show are so awesome!
Yeah I like Corbin's stuff too. I really hope we can both fin ways to get more of this stuff out there.
Absolutely, loved this series guys.
Some of the best quality material out there. cheers
love his attitude. Such a humble and amazing guy
Its amazing how much abuse these cars can take
Full on goosebumps.. really inspiring to watch guys
THIS IS BECAUSE M20 KING ENGINE LOVE IT
So sad it's over, need more e30 and Ryan. You should continue to campaign it in rally and CHUMP car and document the process, could watch this all day.
And most importantly the journey was fantastic and the content rememberable and inspiring.... !
Fun little series guys. Thanks for the ride!
Loved this series, great job Drive Team.
This is what i call a good movie. Love it. Go on...
Good job guys, it looked like a lot of fun and what a great achievement. Car looks pretty good too, hope it gets to race again soon.
such a epic series! sad to see it end. please make more!!
Amazing episode. Smiled the entire time. This is the best series I've ever seen that captured the feeling of competing in this level of Motorsport. I bet this video convinced a few people to give it a go.
That was epic... Loved every minute of this series!
Best thing on drive in a LONG time, well done!
One of the best series on UA-cam recently!
This has been an awesome and amazing set of vids. This is what I love about motorsports, and the community is what I miss about drifting in the early 2ks. Thank you guys for a great vid!
Great doc, fellahs. Stuff like this is what makes the internet awesome.
Great series! Thoroughly enjoyed it.
I always liked everything involving Symancek, great production, very entertaining, we appreciate your work and hope you had fun doing it.
Thanks!
Best series ever!! i love it!! thanks to bring us this episodes!
I loved this mini series
that is real racing right there, get out there and run, MacGyver some problems, get back out and finish
absolutely love the whole series. ryan you are the man. love your work! can't wait to see you back in rallying so i can continue to enjoy your journey
9:20 thats one insane car for the track. Looks like some mini or an mg. But boy must it be light!
Nothing better than that M20 engine note
great 4 part series! i enjoyed each and every one of them!
This hit me right in the feels. But also, our E30 radiator bit it this past Saturday during a LeMons race so solidarity bro. Fortunately, it happened with only 30 minutes to go and we borrowed a spare from another team while we tried to help mend their master cylinder.
Cool video. Pretty much my experience racing with Chump and Lucky Dog. Always have a spare radiator. And a tip for making the space for a tire. Use a short 4x4 and try to round off the corners, jack the car up put the 4x4 between the tire and the fender well and roll the car back and forth.
Awesome series, more like this would definitely be welcome! Ryan makes for a great presenter, top work.
Unreal series
This was like the best episodes in a while it was lit !!!!
Thanks to everyone for a very enjoyable series. It just goes to show anyone that it is possible to achieve your goals of racing, whatever they may be with a little know how and a lot of desire.
You guys are amazing! Awesome work, please keep it going
Thanks for documenting this project! You guys and the e30 rocks!
Great series,Thank you!
Amazing series one of the best shows I've seen in a while. Loved it!
man im sad to see that e30's story end. may have only been 5 episodes, but I feel that e30 should go down in history as one of the greats already.
Great series again Ryan! For me you make the best series on the DRIVE channel!!
This was really great. What a series.
Inspiration guys..thank you for your, Drive
I love the e30 so this series has been great. But honestly it would have been wonderful with literally any car. Great vidoes
Great stuff. You've reeled me back into /Drive after about a year of apathy toward the channel.
That soundtrack at 14:25 is just epic. *Chills*
I take pride in my stock music deejaying ;) Thanks!
Awesome series guys! If you bring more stuff like this i will be here to watch! :)
Keep it up!
Excellent series, awesomeness
Best content on /Drive in a while. Thank you for this.
Brilliant Series Ryan! please make more, only series i watch on Drive atm.
Awesome series! Great job everyone.
THE PERFECT CREW !
*Outstanding!*
I'm sure was a massive amount of work....but it shows that if you have a great team and put in the hours....it can be done on a reasonable budget.....nice job guys....I'm sure a couple scared knuckles for lasting memories....
Great series, thanks!
That was beautiful. Well done!
