BMW Rallying Forum

So the compact has now done 23 events. Its finally getting near perfect so I needed another project.

I was going to build another compact to an extreme spec and immaculate. But decided to move to something more modern..

I dont know if this is going to be a mistake or not... But will give it a go!





Got myself a 2009 M Sport E82 Coupe as a donar car

FIRST JOB..... STRIP IT

I think its the best way forward, looking to seeing it in bit's

I only just saw this - I came very close to doing exactly the same thing until I was lured by the Hockley Compact shell. I saw an absolutely stunning 1 series coupe wide arch shell in Europe. It would probably have been a sensible option rather than building my fourth Compact, but there you go. Good luck with it - are you going to transplant the engine and box from the Compact?

Been plodding along stripping it out so i can see whats what..

Wow its built so different to the older BMW's

Different in what way?

Clips for everything, all cheaply made.

These go well in Belgium
Want one!

It will be interesting to see how much weight you can pull out of this versus a compact... which engine are you intending to use?
