www.1m3.com Finally finished the 1m time lapsed video of the full Install. The full mechanical conversion was done in 21 hrs straight and electrical took another 6 days making it 7 days drive-in/drive-out.

www.1m3.com Found the original video when the s65 was first started after getting it picked up from the auctions. Just shows how lucky it was to find a donor car like this for our first genuine 1m s65 swap in the world. There was a few s65 swaps already done on cars like based on the e82 platform but no one ever attempted a v8 swapped 1m. Video of the donor car and picture of the cluster to document the swap, the donor car was from NSW and the rego was MAXM3 with a vin number PY37490.

  I brought a few parts from ASV Euro Car Parts over the years so when I saw BMW Owners Club NSW were hosting a cars & coffee at their newly refreshed facilities I registered for the event and a tour. Spent a few hrs cleaning my machine for the event to represent the BMW brand amongst the herd of other euros that attended and it really paid off. The beast took out Best modified, Peoples Choice & Best Braking Equipment on the day. If you ever attended one of their show and shines they are a real tough crowd to please and not very forgiving if the car is not up to par. Doing a few shows over the last 3 to 4 years I learned what it takes to get the car show worthy and picked up a few tips along the way but its no show queen as I do attend track/skid pan days, club cruises and it has its battle scars to prove it.  It's driven not hidden but its really only a weekend fun car. I really enjoyed attending this event and its always a great feeling when your hard work is appreciated.

The BC Forged RZ39's were refinished in satin black and fitted with some brand new ps4s tyres. What a transformation in ride quality due to the weight savings and extra side wall over the factory 359's.

Some high quality led under carriage lighting was added inspired by Paul Walkers GTR from 2 Fast 2 Furious.  Love the The Fast and the Furious movies so this was added to help attract attention at the local car shows and help raise money for charity.
