Just before 'Ring season is often our busiest time of year, and this year has been no different. Ben's last E92 M3 came in to us for rod bearings and various other jobs, but after the sad demise of that car, this E90 has been quite the blank-page build. Caged, painted Fire Orange and using much of the highly developed...
Mitch Aynsley's 'internet famous' E46 M3 has been in with us before for cylinder head work, and came back recently for further work ahead of this year's season of attacking the Nurburgring Nordschleife. Mitch had a fresh 3.85:1 differential built for the car, and tasked us with fitting that as well as finding the cause of some drivetrain noise elsewhere....
Though M cars are commonplace at Hack Engineering HQ, it's not so often that we see an E39 M5. With values climbing and these cars getting higher in mileage, it's no surprise that Vanos issues are being seen by us more and more. Nathan's 123k mile M5 came to us with a nasty engine rattle, as well as a general...
Here at Hack Engineering, Vanos Rebuilds are where our business started, and so we can proudly say that we have an inside-out knowledge of BMW's Vanos (variable camshaft timing) systems.While we also keep ourselves busy with cars coming in for the Vanos rebuild process, it's a lesser known fact that we also offer a Vanos rebuild process...
The Koflach Engine Developments E46 M3 is a development car for our sister company, with the main aim of being a mule for parts development. Having been built up from essentially a rolling shell to be a road car, the decision was made to keep the car an SMG by its owner, Tom. Issues with the SMG pump motor,...
Alex is no stranger to track M3s, having previously owned a supercharged E46 M3. He's had this E92 M3 since earlier this year and wanted to bring it into us for the essential rod bearing replacement, as well as a little more work besides. Despite over 93,000 miles, most of the bearings were in surprisingly good shape. That is, except...
At Hack Engineering we are used to customers being particular and enthusiastic about their M car's maintenance. However, Robert recently took things to a new level when he wanted to have an engine overhaul on his 36,000 mile Z4 M Roadster. Of course, we were more than happy to help him. Robert had the car transported to us from his...
