😄 There are two things to consider: 1: There is a huge amount of work that you don't see on camera. I wouldn't be able to do it without Jays amazing work, but Jay wouldn't have any work to do without the work that I do in the background. & 2: He doesn't want to drive it 😄
I've just loved watching this series and the INSANITY that trying to make the proper steering set up for this match up. Wow super props to Jay! Seriously hard and meticulous. I thought this whole idea was next to impossible. But it turns out...I WAS RIGHT! LOL. But only next to impossible not totally. You guys are CRAZY but in all the best ways! Cheers from Canada!
Everyone needs a Jay in their life😜. Also a belated happy birthday to him, although if he’s only 40, his papar-round must have been in Beirut🤣😜. Either that or you’re working him too hard😛.
phil you guys rock now i'm getting excited to see it finished hows the family good i hope i recon i saw jay giving the car a lick and a tickle when you had your back turned lol the look on jays face was priceless when the cross member was finally bolted up the look of a box of biscuites
Those E36 M3 Evo shocks are very interesting! Never knew there was a such a difference in stroke from e46-36. Keep up the good work lads going to be amazing the end product!
👍 Turns out I was mistaken & this is the standard Z4M setup. It uses E36M3 front and E46 M3 rear, but the standard non M Z4 uses E46 front and rear. Very confusing.
lol. love this build that you and Jay are doing. it is a step further now and I can wait to see you drive this one again when its done. keep up the good work guys.
Jay were your biscuits fella what you playing at your letting yourself down you par of handsome bastard's need to do a calendar you both throwing fantastic shapes rolling around on floor none the less great work fellas
I love how Phil thinks he's gonna have any time for projects when that baby arrives 😄 prepare to have no time for anything at all, ever. Good luck mucker
Finally one big step forwards I guess the next video will be a couple of steps backwards 😂 🙊🙊🙈hahaha definitely the best idea Getting that made hopefully full steam ahead see some big progress in the next couple of videos can’t wait to watch
My solution to lowered e46 was to cut the antiroll bar links in half and weld them back together overlapping with the right clearance between control arm and link end. The car cornered and rode like shit however because I can’t afford good coil overs so it’s on some good old Koni yellow shocks and springs and it rides so nice now. I’m 24 and I’m already tired of hard suspension 😂
I cringed when the subframe flexed when you first installed it, its all well and good 3D designing parts but a proper FE analysis is even more important for structural components.
In fareness the load was completely miss placed as it was a single centre point rather than on the two engine mount bracket points, so even if a 3D simulation was run it wouldn't have identified the flex. But unless you're playing with topology optimisation you may as well add some reinforcement.
Do you have a jacking trolly table, they are great for this type of install, could even modify it by adding a removable scissor jack on a small extension to the table to pick up the gear box and adjust the angle off the engine/gear box. 👍
Would it be worth 3-D scanning or amending the CAD data that the crossmember was made from so you could duplicate it if asked in the future and recoup some of the investment you put into it? Great to see the progress 👍
I've watched this entire build from the first episode some episodes I've even watched twice and thrice. By far this has been my favorite episode thus far. Think mostly because Phil is back working with Jay. I never knew thats thr e46 struts are that short. I have a e36 evo. Thought the suspensions were the same, but nice work Phil and Jay. Can't wait for the next episode. What brakes are you going to be using 🤔. Will the brake rotors and calipers of your porsche 964 fit?
e36 m3 knuckle wont fit on e46 m3 arm as ball joint on e46 m3 is thicker so You need redrill knuckle or change balljoint for smaller ones (normal e36 ones etc etc) but its not garage jobbie due to ally.
funny! i was going to make a snarky remark about using bubble wrap to protect the engine and darned if you didn't beat me to it! once everything fit, i think i would take it on and off five or ten times just to enjoy watching it go together properly. after all that work, putting in only once seems to be wasteful... somehow.
Great video as always! Are you guys going to be at Goodwood Retrorides Weekender, and if you are do you think the V10 might make a public appearance?? 😋😁😎👌
@@driftworks Latest announcement I've seen online is September 5th and 6th 👍😎 Saw you there last year, didn't know the Driftworks name at the time... now I certainly do!
jay needs to build a bracket for something and take the piss outa bad obsession motorsport make it take 3 days to make lol I love them guys but would be a good laugh if he did
Boys nice work. Phil nice to see the boss getting into it. Phil I'm in need of a favour. I have an old school Celica I'm putting a dct in and well my CAD is shit and wanting to know if you have a DXL file of the centre spigot that you made that you can share. Everything helps in builds like this 👍 cheers
i think jay should have the "first Drive/first start" when its all back together as a reward for the effort he's put into it.
ohh he better have!
6000 biscuits AND the first drive (I do imagine he gets paid tbf)
But what if he likes that more than the LS???
Jay's input and hard work has been absolutely fantastic but don't forget that he's at work and getting payed to do everything that's been done .
😄 There are two things to consider: 1: There is a huge amount of work that you don't see on camera. I wouldn't be able to do it without Jays amazing work, but Jay wouldn't have any work to do without the work that I do in the background. & 2: He doesn't want to drive it 😄
I had my doubts but that front subframe is a work of art!!!
👍
Jay the bender lmao. You guys crack me up. Great build, looking good :)
😁
Tom Schirmer & team are absolute BMW geniuses. Fastest BMWs on the Nordschleife, always have, always will.
Yep, seriously awesome car builder!
Get you a friend like Jay who puts the same amount of passion and detail into your project when he's working on it as you do youself!
👍
" Never seen again". Right There with you, Jay. But I'm the one who does it to myself. Oh boy.
👍
: It's all one color" " That's the most important thing". LMAO. Well played- game, set, match. You two are TOO much. The best medicine yet. Thanks
👍 Thanks
Phil holding that subframe like he's just won a Grammy. 😂
😄
MR Schirmer will be grumpy he doesn't seem to like people sharing his tuning secrets online
Tom; grumpy? Naah never 😄.
Jay the bender 🤣🤣
😄
I'm guessing now everyone is exited to see how the ten into one is coming along. Nice work guys. 😉😎
It will be a few episodes away, but a lot of 'virtual' progress has been made. Cheers

Jay "I don't want it to look like we've made it"
After they put hundred of hours in to it, I think it's to late for that mate.
Keep it up lads!
👍
Happy Birthday to Jay. This project is simply awesome
👍 Thanks
12:44 omfg, what a journey 😎

Fantastic to see you've finally reached this milestone, its been such a crucial component to the vision of this build, top work guys!
Cheers Max 👍
0:02 yeah we know who Jay is. He is legend
😄
I love the attention to detail. Keep these episodes coming. I look forward to it making track marshalls go crazy.
👍
Brilliant watch this, cant wait to see it running and driving. Great attention to detail on the build, very inspiring :).
Cheers 👍
I gotta admit, in the end your version came out brilliantly and just looks the part, well done!!!
👍
Jay: "planes are going to be really expensive soon "
Phill: *buys plane* 😂😂
😂
Your engineering skills are shining bright, Well done.
👍 Cheers

Thanks man!
Brilliant!!! Hey guys cheers from Baku City!!! waiting for exchaust and first fire-up❤️
Thanks Rashad! 👍
Phil looks like a different person without his cap and glasses on 🤣 top work again lads make the uploads quicker!
Happy Birthday Jay!!
Hope you got him something nice Phil!
Man, I realize I need some Driftworks swag.
👍😎
Ace guys. I bet Phil will be having the. First go when she is done. Thanks for sharing the journey 👊🏻
Thanks. Jay has no interest in driving it anyway, so it's a pretty easy decision.
I think it's great watching Jay on his own does a great job on the M3!
I think Phil makes Jay more awkward 😅 having the boss watching 🧐🤣
Well done! Looks great!
👍 Cheers
Best team! So glad this car is coming back with a vengeance
Awesome works chaps!!!! I cannot wait to see this car run again!
You and me both! Cheers
That subframe is a work of art well done👌
Thanks 👍
Guys, that looks amazing! What an achievement and definitely pat yourselves on the back!
👍 Cheers

Thanks! 😁
Wow that’s a nice bit of kit there!! 😍 nice work chaps!!
Thanks 👍
Nice work, guys. I always enjoy your personalities on camera.

👍 Thanks
Great job fellas. Looking good, keep them episodes coming thanks.
👍 Cheers
I had a feeling a custom crossmember was in play good job Phil 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
👍 Cheers
What a result! 😍😎
😎
Thank you Driftworks
🤘 Cheers
Another milestone video! 🤣👍
🤘
I said it before, I'll say it again, pls make a TV show!! It would be awesome and the drift side would be immense!
😎
Don't say it ... Don't say it ... Totally Tubular 🙈😂
Nice update lads 👍
😄 very good 😄
Good job boys ! never miss an episode , jay your the man mate cant wait to see her finished !
Thanks 👍
Great vid guys, good to see it's all coming together 👍
Thanks 👍
Epic work chaps. Well done.
👍
Super travail bravo
Nice progress!
Thanks 👍
Great projects
Thanks 👍
8:31 sun is shining strong. 😂 ☀️

you need a little more heat and wire speed on your welder it will make a big difference in your welds
👍
I think I just found my favorite YOU TUBE Chanel!
Big compliment, thanks & welcome to the channel 👍
Love this build series keep up the amazing work guys!
Cheers, will do 👍
Jay were your biscuits fella what you playing at your letting yourself down you par of handsome bastard's need to do a calendar you both throwing fantastic shapes rolling around on floor none the less great work fellas

Z4M has a E36 style hub from factory, the SAI is a little changed from the E36. I built a Z4M for Drifting and it was great.
Appreciate you love the AC wheels but would be great to see it on works as well when finished!
👍 I think I'm going to get the ACS on it for completion & yes possibly choose some Works for it too.
class work as always !! p.s. there is never anything wrong with Jays welding !!!
Thanks 👍
"it's Jays best work". Where's Craig? ..... Chin up, Jay.
👍
I love how Phil thinks he's gonna have any time for projects when that baby arrives 😄 prepare to have no time for anything at all, ever. Good luck mucker
Haha, I'm no mug, I know I'm not going to do this anywhere near the level I have been recently. But I'll find time where I can 😄
Great job lads, looks ace
Thanks 👍
Finally one big step forwards I guess the next video will be a couple of steps backwards 😂 🙊🙊🙈hahaha definitely the best idea Getting that made hopefully full steam ahead see some big progress in the next couple of videos can’t wait to watch
For sure! 😂
Getting there!!

No dissimilar metals... that’s a win for me 😉

Jay will give David Beckham a run for his money - Bend it like Jay

Do the larger dampers just mean you can have a low car, with better ride than if using e46 dampers?
It means that at lower ride height we can retain more damper stroke & adjust it so the bump stop comes into play where we want it to.
I cringed when the subframe flexed when you first installed it, its all well and good 3D designing parts but a proper FE analysis is even more important for structural components.
To be blunt, that was nothing short of horrendous.
In fareness the load was completely miss placed as it was a single centre point rather than on the two engine mount bracket points, so even if a 3D simulation was run it wouldn't have identified the flex. But unless you're playing with topology optimisation you may as well add some reinforcement.
The entire 250+kg was resting on a small block of wood in the centre of the steering rack so it's not a fair analysis.
Do you have a jacking trolly table, they are great for this type of install, could even modify it by adding a removable scissor jack on a small extension to the table to pick up the gear box and adjust the angle off the engine/gear box. 👍
Forklifts are the answer to pretty much anything. One of the best things I've ever bought.
Nice colouring in! 2500k view in the first hour good stuff. Really like the E36 stuff!
Do you mean E46??
@@ExclusiveAutoClub No - the whole E36 front strut setup to gain extra stroke.
@@Vez-a-tron I know that!
Thank you! Cheers! 🤘
All hail jay again nice 👍 work
Thanks 👍
Would it be worth 3-D scanning or amending the CAD data that the crossmember was made from so you could duplicate it if asked in the future and recoup some of the investment you put into it? Great to see the progress 👍
^^ this 👍
I was looking for a comment like this!
There's no one else that would want to go through what we have to get the engine in this position.
Thx👍
No problem 👍
Looks like your ready to sell a driftworks V10 conversion kit now.. includes all fitting hardware and advice yeah?
Yeah, contact me any time day or night. I'd love it 😂
@@driftworks brilliant! I'm sure that was entirely sincere 🤣
"I'll get my own E46, with blackjack, and hookers. You know what? Forget about the E46"
Will be interesting to see if you guys are counting the hours that have been put into this project so far then total it all up at the end?
No chance. Never add things like that up or you'll never do it again.
I've watched this entire build from the first episode some episodes I've even watched twice and thrice. By far this has been my favorite episode thus far.

That V10 requires a supercharger. God told me.
Luckily we're all godless heathens here then! 👍
@@driftworks You boutta feel the wrath of god
this car deserves an Alsatek CSL bumper - look em up on facebook Phil
I have a couple of bumper options already. I've just got to decide if I want it more original or 'race'
funny! i was going to make a snarky remark about using bubble wrap to protect the engine and darned if you didn't beat me to it!
once everything fit, i think i would take it on and off five or ten times just to enjoy watching it go together properly. after all that work, putting in only once seems to be wasteful... somehow.
Haha 😄 Don't worry, there's zero chance this wont be on and off a few times yet.
Man, that V10 is a lump, excited for the progress
👍
You need more Baxter on the channel. Bring him to the garage more to keep Jay company
Haha, he still comes into work sometimes. It does reduce productivity somewhat though 😄
I just can't wrap my head around how BMW's can handle they way they do even though they use McPherson struts
I'm not sure what you mean. McPherson strut is used on many incredible handling cars. My GT3 for example.
Great video as always! Are you guys going to be at Goodwood Retrorides Weekender, and if you are do you think the V10 might make a public appearance?? 😋😁😎👌
Is it going ahead? We'd love to bring something, but there's no chance of V1TEN being there unfortunately.

Phil I'm in need of a favour. I have an old school Celica I'm putting a dct in and well my CAD is shit and wanting to know if you have a DXL file of the centre spigot that you made that you can share. Everything helps in builds like this 👍 cheers
Thanks 👍. Sounds like a cool project. Which bit are you looking for info on?
The centre gearbox spigot. I need to make an adaptor to the sr20 motor from the BMW gearbox. Cheer
I'm not sure which bit you mean. Is it a part that we've made on the E30 or the E46?
The threaded addaptor that you used to join the motor and gearbox together. Usually attached to some kind of flex plate or flywheel.
Got an email I'll send a pic ?
Also, if that means there 3 more subrame videos, bring it!!!
😄
When will you start the new project with E46 and a V8? 🤘🏻
Haha, never. I have an S65 E30 M3 that has that covered.
