https://youtu.be/l4DWNnITXnc In this week's episode, Luke and Ben explain the shiny new bits and manage to test fit the rear suspension ... after 4 hours. This setup is now polybushed with Protech shocks, with a powdercoated cross member and arms.
There are sadly not too many sightings of E30 M3s in the world these days, especially not ones being driven properly. But fear not, our customer Mark has been pounding his M3 around the tracks and the roads of Jersey for many years and as part of some restoration work on the car he's carrying out, he decided to send...
https://youtu.be/BKogm6uIy2U Since the Hack Engineering E36 left us, there has been a gap needing to be filled. As we explain in the video, we chose an F21 M140i - these cars have crazy untapped potential and so the quest begins to make the most we can from it on the road and on track. Watch this space! With thanks to

However we have still been tinkering away getting the rear engine mount closer to completion, plus the rear suspension assemblies slowly more together.
Here it is! Our 2018 BMW M140i Shadow Edition development car, during handover at the superb Barons BMW Farnborough.While many of you may have expected an M car, we've always had a bit of a soft spot for an underdog. Let the development begin as we push this platform and see what it can really do - it's about...
While there's nothing we love more than a full-on M car coming through the workshop, you can't ignore BMW's 'M-Lite' cars; the M135i and M140i being our favourites. What's not to love about a small, rear wheel drive hatchback with a punchy turbo six-pot up front? Sure, they have their weaknesses but that's exactly where we step in. Jamie bought...

https://youtu.be/ZmJ5aT9hM78 Ben is still assembling the engine and gearbox... with our brand new member of the team, Little Luke. Meanwhile Big Luke and Heather tackled the suspension bushes and Taite cracked on with the fuel tank. We're getting closer.
Paul's Nardo Grey M4 is no stranger to our workshops, having previously had a whole host of upgrades from Littco L640 turbos to cooling upgrades, exhaust upgrades, full crank hub fix and more. You can read about that tranformation here. This time Paul returned for braking, engine bay, further cooling mods and a Remus backbox. The parts pick was...
There are few customers of ours that are as dedicated to being on track as Dave Horam, with a fleet that includes E30, E36 M3, E46 M3 and E92 M3 variants of the 3 Series/M3. The E46 M3 had an engine build from us a couple of years ago, and this time it was the E36 M3's turn. This particular...
