Have fun with 4 cylinders like this while you can because once you go to higher hp vehicles (6 cylinders), it's hard to go back lol.
ahha thank you! and yeah I feel you, it's just not gonna look right to some people.

and that's kind of already happened lol everyone around me has faster cars. in the last few years I've driven my friends GT mustangs (one auto and one stick), his hellcat, and his zl1. along with some other cars that weren't as high hp but still fast. once I got a taste of that I was like okay, the next car is gonna need some balls bc these cars are insane hahhah.

especially since there are so many fast cars that are still affordable!

and gahhhhh I know! I was so sad when he said he was retiring the series! I was only a few months late. I thought it would've made a good video since a lot of people are in the market for one given their super low price right now.
Yah, power is definitely fun. At least you really have no where to go but up being used to 200hp.

lol. I mean Zach is picking up to One-Take series so you still have a chance! Maybe worth throwing them an e-mail considering you're somewhat local anyway.

CSL means "basemodel" in German... okay it doesn't, but let me explain.

tldr: its a 3,200lb stripper with 9.5s all around that sticks like mf'er through a turn.

Summer 2016 I decided I needed a normal car. My e30 was fun, but its headaches were getting in the way of my life progressing. All I wanted was for the F30 to be mineral grey and manual. I didn't care about options bc I was 22 and drove an e30 for 5 years, I was just stoked to have the "MAX A/C" button (still am). Most F30s were either out of my budget or on the other side of the country.

I eventually got lucky and found one relatively close up in SF. 320i, Mineral Grey, manual trans, nav, and THAT. IS IT. Fuckin thing didn't even have floormats when I picked it up. I joked that it was race car spec since it was a total stripper (slicktop, manual seats, no ski pass, no pdc, etc), and so I decided to make it my goal to have the quickest, lightest, best handling F30 I could. Hence... CSL F30.

Phase 1:
-M perf aero; front side and rear
-M perf mirror caps
-M perf grill
-19x9.5 AC Schnitzer Type IIIs
-Renntech style CF spoiler
-APEXi N1 Muffler
-Megan springs
-DNA motoring LCI headlights
-Blue/Hexagon interior trim
Current Weight: 3,200 / Goal Weight: 2,999

Phase 2:
-VRSF catless downpipe
CAI
CP
FMIC
Carbon hood
Carbon trunk
Lightweight battery
M perf steering wheel
M perk brakes
Megan coilovers
Short shifter
Recaro pole position (undecided)
Gaphix seatbelts
Rennstall shifter
Euro option cloth interior
Man that thing is a beaut! Wonderful transformation! Any videos?!

Went around with one of my friends the other night to go shoot at a couple spots. Haven't gone through all of them but here are a few.

fun fact: that light streak is a 400K light streak, a Bentley Mulsanne drove by right as I let the shot go off and I got lucky lol
oh and the two profile shots aren't a before and after, just two different spots haha

Also, I'm waiting on a goodie thats really gonna help with the weight savings! I should have it pretty soon

just ordered a set of rotors from R1 concepts and a shifter from Rennstall. super stoked for both. hopefully I can install the rotors before I leave for up north!

I'll post updates once everything gets here.

also I just got back from the grand canyon, got some cool photos along the way that I'm excited to edit.

here are a few shots from the foggy half of my most recent canyon trip.
second half was very nice and sunny but I haven't edited those yet.


no fog was added, it was just coming in super hard.

it would clear up sometimes though and then look this.

this last one wasn't in the canyons but its from the same morning, this is how it looked when I left.
