Pretty sure you need to reprogram the ecu when replacing a battery in the e92. Otherwise the alternator may overcharge the new battery thinking it's a lead battery still back there. They do weird things if you don't tell them what's there.
M3 and the 7 series are the legends of BMW. I know first hand if you want too make your BMW a power house monster you can do it. The laptop can unlock some major power and tuning the transmission can making controlling that power so much better. I have the SMGii swapped in to a 2002 BMW Z3 M roadster with the legendary S54 engine. Keeping mine naturally aspirated doing port, polish, flowing the heads, honey cone springs, cams, vanos upgrades, more compression, 4 y long tube header, more fuel, making 330rwhp/300tq in a Z3M that was put on a diet to 2100# is so fun. Might turbo someday but had to keep 285 wide rears tires alive as it is. Keep building that M3 you can get 650-800hp with the right turbo but change you head bolts.
There are only 2 turbo e92 m3 atm. The biggest limitation is packaging (engine bay space). The biggest thing that needs to be done to do this however, is the move to a dry sump system.
Thought of you and Scotto yesterday, it was our once a year bulk garbage pick up in our town. While cleaning out the basement I found the original box from Neuspeed for my old MKIII VR6 Golf intake from ‘99. Smoked an Xr4ti before I let it go haha. That was for Ken.
For garage flooring I love me some race deck flooring. It’s modular flooring that makes working in your garage way nicer than working on painted concrete.
sorry to be so off topic but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
I love the looks of the e92 m3, exterior and interior. I own a e92 335 myself and love to own a e92 m3 someday. I am pretty disappointed about the s65 in both stock vs tuned power and torque, imo a high revving v8 has no place in a 3 series, v8 has less torque then a stage1 335i, they were better off with a lower revving high torque v8.
OR : All M3's should have come with the S65B44, and a 200lbs weight reduction. It would have been easy to save more weight on the rear (alu subframe , CF propshaft, lightweight end muffler. But most weight savings are done at the front end to achieve ~50:50 weight distribution.
I always wanted one of these cars but got burned by BMW maintenance too many times. So I'll just live vicariously through you while I enjoy my Mustang PP2 instead :D
agreed, but I am cool with everyone sleeping on these still... I already got a 535xi and a 335i, but I want to get a 135i for a full track build! They keep getting cheaper and I dont want that to change haha
Not sure if anyone's told you before. BIMMER is a car, BEEMER is a motorcycle. Not trying to be a dick, just trying to make you sound like the smart guy we know you are. Your builds are so clean, I hope to one day have enough time to have clean whips too.
Yo I am putting one of those anti grav batteries in the e46. No more pulling the trunk plastics to disconnect the battery! and the weight savings to get a little more rear slip :D
For Garage Floor, I used Rust-Oleum 238467, Professional Floor Coating Kit. Rolled on really nice, and is a super hard finish. I like it because its easier to wipe up oil and stuff withou it soaking into the concrete
They have paint you can cover the floor.with its comes with some colored flakes to give it a little texture it looks really good when its done i did a couple garages with it and the floors come out awsome
Guys. Love the show. But come on, there is more to a dyno run than just the peak power. the entire graph and curve compared to the old one tells the real story about if the car makes more power or not
Hoonigan project cars, Switch your oil form 10w60 to a decent oil 5w50 weight, (I use redline). Also make a switch to motorad 880090 thermostat 90c. And see if there’s difference. I have done that switch on my e92 m3 and feels so much better, idle smoother and snaps in revs quicker. 5w50 is great for cold start, it’s thin enough for rod bearings yet still it’s a decent 50 weight when warm. If anyone asks why I switched from a cooler stock 79c thermostat to a warmer 89-90c thermostat (motorad 880090). Well the car oil cooler thermostat is set around 212F 101c and coolant is regulated at 79c, the can takes forever to get up to temp with colder stack thermostat. As well as the engine is fighting itself with 101c oil temp to 79c coolant temp. With the 90c tstat that leans up the car a bit, which tightens the cylinder walls which translates to less oil consumption, higher compression and more power. My car gets up to temp much quicker, smoother cold start idle, revs quicker engine feels much happier. I just don’t know if it had gained anything with these switches. Look up Troyjeup on Instagram (s85 s65 engine builder) no affiliation.
I read somewhere you can get lightweight pulleys and such maybe an "under" set, that can boost a vit of power by drastically lowering parasitic drains.
the one thing that turns me off about the e9x m3 platform is it costs HELLA FUCKING $ for the gains you get with "bolt-ons" .... but man do i love these cars ! ! !
I love to see that people are still talking bad about the rod bearings in these engines. That's just gonna keep these cars accessible for those of us that know how special they truly are.
They really did screw up the engineering on the rod bearings, mine were trashed before 60k. But, now that it's replaced, I should be good for a decade or so.
@@ray_collins I don't think they screwed up the engineering per say. This was originally a motorsports engine that got reassigned for the streets. tight tolerances and street driving (not to mention long oil change intervals) would surely cause such issues. I'm glad you got yours done though, now you can climb towards redline with confidence. Enjoy!
I have a 2011 M3 sedan - I was just wondering how you were able to activate the front corner lights while the car is on the Dino. is there a special BMW code to activate this as well while driving. thanks - looks great
Sounds good but man the 335i is just so good tuned that the e92 M3 feels like it should have 120 more HP for how much more they cost...M3 handles way better though and already has that LSD stock.
Hey like what you have done to your car nice subtle changes to a car that already looks sooo good standard. I think the mods you did mirror what I have been thinking of doing. I also thought the exhaust sound was one of the better noises I have heard some people like to try and make an American muscle car sound from a beautiful euro V8 and that is soo wrong. One question though do you get any drone ? Oh also did you do the GTS gearbox map? Thanks keep the story coming 👍🤟🇦🇺 Jp
On my my I have a full catless bomiz exhaust and afe intake with a aline motorsports tune and I raced my friend with a stock e92 m3 and from the beginning I pull on him and walk him slowly those mods actually make ur car faster😂😂next I'm adding a under drive pulley and long tube headers
Tis true - I've done the same mods - noticed the power bump and throttle response immediately but as with most things I got used to it and start looking for more - it really is a disease ;-)
@@ziggyfreud5357 it's is man right not I'm back to stock I only have my exhaust on but it's because I'm at 84k miles and am planning on doing my rod bearings then I'm going to throw a supercharger kit on it from vf engineering
So I have always wondered with cutting vehicle weight, how important it is to corner balance after. Do certain manufacturers put enough effort into that to a point where it's necessary? Or unless you go to the nth degree, does it not play a big enough role.
I test drove an M6 convertible on an autocross course. i was disappointed how noodly it felt. How is the torsional stiffness of the E93 in tight turns?
@@RobHnasko I believe BMW did a fantastic job stiffening the chassis for the Vert. She's heavy, no doubt, but you only notice the weight when pulling off the line. After that, body roll and grip are phenomenal on ContiSports or Pilot Sports even with stock suspension. I do a lot of mountain driving and I like to .ake the back step out when I can. I'm glad the M3 chassis is all about hot lap ability while the M6 is a comfortable luxurious POWERHOUSE...I cant say I don't drool over them. Then there's the maintenance cost of an e9x m3...they're probably the most affordable BMW by far if maintained well.
1:48 “just go to a really long video so anything that Scotto’s in”
savage lol
That means the Audi quatro bolt clean vid ha
That NA life. Spend a few thousand dollars, gain 30hp. I feel that pain😂
That battery is sick. I looked it up for my car and its $749.99 - $829.99! WHOA I Think I'd spend that kind of cash on a Cam swap... Great Vid!
You need 4 cams though.
or you can go to options>power saving(or something like that) and in there switch of the go to sleep options.
LOLOLOL
I felt some type of was when he said just play a video.
lolol
Having anything using cpu during the tuning process is a no no. The software usually tells you to close any running programs or apps before flashing.
Best yet, have it set that way all the time and put it to sleep manuallywhen needed
Epoxy your garage floor, it seals the concrete and everything wipes off extremely easy. Lasts forever basically if done well.
Sounds so weird driving on epoxy lol
@@jollyyyfrs5420 I do agree sometimes it does but in a garage you'd only hear that for 2seconds
Dammit that is a great sounding engine. I love those M3's so much.
Tim Arnold me to lol I got some cool vids burnouts on so on. Take a look 👊🏻🏴
LET JOHN design your floor! Then epoxy clear said floor....

VIN! Look into a DIY garage floor epoxy Kit. Helped my buddy apply one to his garage floor; looks clean and stays clean because it’s so easy to clean.
sounds pretty clean
blake horst Yeah did I mention it’s clean?
So does it stay clean easily?
Okay, but what if it gets dirty?
I'm surprised the E92 has lasted Vin this long, but i know he is close to selling it! 😂😂
Fr knowing he will sell this car, it will be missed lol
They ain’t as bad as people make out with rods and stuff. I kill mine all the time but I look after it. Lots TLC
@John Gilroy 46k on orignal bearings. They look new still but going with WPC for peace of mind.
I kept my last m3 for 5 years. I just go through daily drivers. Will keep this one until i can swing dream level shit.
Yes vin Iv got two of them both DCT an a Manuel had a shit load of BMW’s an the e92 m3 is the best by far

Someone at Hoonigan needs to pick up something n54 powered! Whether it's 135i, 335i, or 535!

This needs to happen!
Von Hassen I know it!! Haha
friend of Hoonigan, @bernoo_1m has a nice n54 powered race car
Anti-Gravity batteries are the best, been using them for years. I love their jumper box aswell.

They have some sick resin garage floors that look like marble. You should do that. Your garage is gonna be awesome when you’re done.
Scotto's gonna love you for that dude lmao
Missed seeing your face, Vin! Loving the M3, brother!
For Garage Floor, I used Rust-Oleum 238467, Professional Floor Coating Kit. Rolled on really nice, and is a super hard finish. I like it because its easier to wipe up oil and stuff withou it soaking into the concrete
Good garage floor is H&C water-based epoxy kit. You can get it at sherwin williams. Alot of body shops and mechanics use it.
First video ive watched since the start of corona. Bring back the shredding..
They have paint you can cover the floor.with its comes with some colored flakes to give it a little texture it looks really good when its done i did a couple garages with it and the floors come out awsome
Guys. Love the show. But come on, there is more to a dyno run than just the peak power. the entire graph and curve compared to the old one tells the real story about if the car makes more power or not
One of the best V8's of all time! Clean AF too😍
100% needs an Advanced Fuel dynamics flex fuel kit! Will make some real power.
Smart man. We use this battery tech in our batteries and capacitors.

Car sounds amazing. Love the E92 V8
Doubt it's a V8. The V8 delivers 420 hp stock.
@@stoopydh4878 that's at the crank, not the wheel. That, and no other engine I can think of has quite the same tone as the S65.
I read somewhere you can get lightweight pulleys and such maybe an "under" set, that can boost a vit of power by drastically lowering parasitic drains.
Just done similar and pulley's... Hope she's in 400 club 🏁
SwissTraxx for floor Vin.
As much pull Hoonigan has, start a home garage makeover vlog.
Anyone else think that would be popular?
I’d be in for that for sure
too late, im basically done already. ill look into swiss tracks
Anything that scottos in 😂
Love that battery swap 🤯
What’s worst about our E9Xs, are the variances on the dyno. I’ve seen everywhere from the 320s to the 360 at the wheels, stock.
Vin do a epoxy coating for your concrete. Looks good and can be whatever color you want.
Best floor you can roll down is Epoxy. Yes it's spendy however you will be incredibly pleased
DIY Epoxy flooring looks pretty good.
I'm really digging that dad hat, and you're hacking your ecu haha
the one thing that turns me off about the e9x m3 platform is it costs HELLA FUCKING $ for the gains you get with "bolt-ons" .... but man do i love these cars ! ! !
Pretty sure they Sell Garage floor Coating, We have it, it's a GOD SEND
that setup isn’t too bad for the battery, you should see some of GMs brilliant designs
*YO I JUST LOOKED UP THE PRICE OF THOSE BATTERIES*
i was expecting way worse. In Vin's case he save 50lbs. People will spend thousands on carbon hoods or trunks to save half that.
I love to see that people are still talking bad about the rod bearings in these engines. That's just gonna keep these cars accessible for those of us that know how special they truly are.

👍🏻 great vid dude and just paint the floor to 👊🏻🏴
How do you like those falken tires? Are they good for the track? Great video keep it up 🙏
you could also just set the sleep time in the battery settings on win10
Apoxsee floors are amazing in garage is the wife of clean and I had to use squeegee or sweep n more floor dry or stains just no burnouts on it
Look into non slip industrial tiles. White epoxy gets marked easily by tires etc
Sounds great you can hear the M power now
digging that racseng tow hook
You blurred his license plate at the end, but left it unblurred when he was pulling it into the shop. FYI
The last true ///M car!
Sounds awesome!! Can you post the before and after dyno?
Looking to get the bimmerworld x-pipe to Europe.
Document the garage upgrades!!! Please sir!!
just Epoxy Resin the floor..looks amazing and is cheap and easy to do
Swiss Trax for the floor 100%
I did some bolt offs from mine , lol thanks to blowout tire at 100mi/h

You make it look so easy! Did you recode (change VO) for that battery ?
have a friend in the NAVY get you a PRC deck kit.... the best garage floor coat i don't know a friend told me.
Epoxy, or Swisstracks for your garage floor
Did you have to register your new battery after you have replaced it?

Battleship grey military paint🤘🏼
Idk if you had a broken car or something but E92M3 should make around 420hp to the wheels
That intake pipe is ribbed for your pleasure lol
you need those pulleys son!
do e85 feels so crazy lol. car wakes up even more
Placebo. There is no dyno improvement
Put those vinyl stick on tiles on the floor like all the old 70s houses
try swisstrax floor, it has an nice design
I have a stock e9x, about how much power is this adding to the 414hp? 444, realistically? Thanks
Love it any video scoto is in 🤣🤣🤣

You do need to program so it charges properly. Dont need dealer tho csn use icarly or bimmerlinks app
ADAM LZ!!!! Drag battle
Look into Obsessed Garage to get your garage fixed up
Keep it up! 💯 and you should get epoxy floors

Awkward fist bumps 5s are the best
What wheels are on the E92? Are they 18" or 19"?
Can an antigravity battery really handle a bmw? I thought they were more for motorcycles and racecars
