Welcome to the Passion Driven Beta

***Image database was reset - PLEASE REUPLOAD IMAGES -

I began this project in June 2024. My goal is to create a platform that allows fellow car enthusiasts of all types to track and share builds. I am constantly adding and improving features, but there is still a lot of work to do and some bugs to fix.

Please share any feedback you have, and let us know what features you would like to see by navigating to the Beta Page.

Thank you for being part of the community!

Modifications

Brakes

OEM BMW 330i Front Brake Upgrade (Not Installed)

Notes: The front brake calipers and rotors are bigger on the 330, I got the calipers for a good deal and bought new pads and Hawk Performance Pads and feel way better

Engine Management

RevMatch Motor Sports Stage 3 Tunned ECU (Not Installed)

Notes: Tune Features in pictures!

Exhaust

eBay Catless Headers (Not Installed)

Notes: Got these a while back off ebay before prices went up, quality isn’t terrible but I replaced the supplied gaskets with oem ones. Also sanded down mating surface. don’t have any pictures installed but here’s stock photos!

OEM BMW Muffler Delete Exhaust (Not Installed)

Notes:

Found a whole Muffler deleted exhaust (maybe resonator delete as well can’t remember) at the junk yard. Uses OEM bmw e46 m3 exhaust clamps to hold everything together and is really good quality and sounds great

Exterior

eBay Front Lip and Side Skirt Extensions (Not Installed)

Notes: Got the ebay front lip and side skirt extensions from a friend for 20$. wasn’t expensive at all so i grabbed them, will be gone in the near future

Interior

NRG NRG Bucket Seat (Not Installed)

Notes:

Deal came up for a 40$ NRG bucket seat with rails for 40$ and I couldn’t pass up. It isn’t comfortable for long drives but great for drifting/cornering. Very happy with purchase

PMC PMC Chassis Mount Shifter (Not Installed)

Notes:

This chassis mount shifter feels great, a little high for my taste but still looks good. Very notchy but you shift with confidence

Sparco Sparco Suede Steering Wheel (Not Installed)

Notes: Sparco Suede Steering Wheel with MOMO hub

Performance

OEM BMW BMW M Performance Intake Kit (Not Installed)

Part No: 13720432306 | $808.00

Notes: Don’t have any pictures of it installed on the car but will update later! Here’s a stock picture for the meantime

OEM BMW 3.46 Welded Differential (Not Installed)

Notes:

The diff is from and automatic 325, has a shorter gear ratio which allows me to get up to speed quicker which helps a lot in drift. Isn’t the best for the highway and is pretty short but i’m happy with it

Suspension

Megan Racing Megan Racing Race Spec Strut Bar (Not Installed)

Notes: Don’t have any pictures installed but will update soon!

Max Peeding Rods MaxPeedingRods Coilovers (Not Installed)

Notes: Don’t have any pictures of it installed on the car but will update later! I know I know, maxpeedingrods….. just needed something for the mean time as the suspension was blown, considering everything they haven’t given me any problems.

Eibach Adjustable Rear Camber Arm’s (Not Installed)

Notes: Don’t have any pictures of them installed but will update soon!

Tires & Wheels

D-Force D-Force LTW5 (Not Installed)

Notes: Staggered set of D-Force LTW5 wheels. Rears are 18x10 and fronts are 18x9/9.5 (don’t remember the width of the fronts or the offsets of either) wheels look great and are very light

Transmission

eBay Stage 3 eBay Clutch Kit (Not Installed)

Notes: eBay clutch has been holding strong through out many kicks! Single Mass wheel so it allows it to rev up quicker but sacrificing some torque.

Build Notes

All maintenance has been done prior to modification to the car. Only thing that hasn’t been done is reinforcing the rear subframe but is high on my list. Here’s my list with things i still want to do: - Reinforce rear subframe - Front Angle Kit - Drift Alignment (alignment in general) - Clean up interior (dye/replace) - Aftermarket Side Skirts - Aftermarket Front Lip - Paint Match Trims - Rear Strut Bar - BC Coilovers - Eventually Boost Car has 251k miles but never skips a beat and hasn’t given me any major issues. Car is a relatively budget build but can’t wait to do more with the car
