I’m sure you guys have seen our video of when we fetched our project G80 a few months ago . We were very excited to get started on the S58 platform . We had our goals set and we got to work putting together our S1000 package for the S58 platform . There is a lot of r&d that goes into putting these kits together and making sure we get the best possible hardware fitted to the vehicle. As I said before we try and test our packages on our own vehicles before releasing it to clients so after the vehicle was built we had a run in period where we made sure all components were functioning and working correctly . Being a new platform there was a lot of learning for us when putting together this package . Our partners at 5150 AutoSport where there to guide us on this new project as they have had lots of experience with this platform already
Once we were happy with the way the car was running we got down to tuning the vehicle with our very capable partners in this US , GTP Tuned . We are the sole agents in South Africa for GTP tuned and he is one of the best calibrators on the S58 platform , if not the best
We decided to take the car to the coast as we are preparing for a coastal event coming up soon . While we were there testing and tuning we decided to run it at a racetrack for the first time to see how well it can do in a full street trim form ( full weight, exactly how it came out of the factory) . We were astonished with how well our S1000 M3 performed . Not only did we take the title of the fastest M3 in South Africa but we also took the title of the fastest street BMW in South Africa on our very first time out . Our S1000 G80 M3 is currently the 14th fastest S58 in the world and the 3rd fastest hybrid the world has seen .
Keep you eyes peeled as we will be doing a more in depth video on the modifications done on the vehicle. Stay tuned for a full 8 sec street trim M3
