Ride inside BMW E36 race car

The following video footage is a great example of what it is like to ride inside of an extremely fast vehicle. The vehicle is a BMW E36 which was produced from 1990 until 2000. Stock this vehicle is a great chassis and starting point for an excellent race car build. The chassis is strong and handles very well thanks to a great weight distribution design.

As the BMW enters corners, accelerates, and brakes the chassis places weight exactly where weight is needed for optimal response. By stiffening the suspension you can focus the lateral energy into the tires digging the vehicle into the pavement. Adding low profile tires and larger diameter, light weight wheels is a great way to enhance handling, acceleration, and vehicle response.

More than just suspension make this BMW E36 race car. Extensive engine work such as forged pistons, cylinder sleeves, rods, valves, and high pressure fuel systems are typical upgrades found on race car engines. This vehicle also features straight cut synchro gears that create a "whine" sound according to speed. These gears also allow direct up and down shifting for easy manipulation. Overall, this BMW is an amazing performance machine! Enjoy the footage.
