Love to see the invitational videos from all of the different youtubers perspectives. The oakes team is looking super solid recently too, Videos out quick and look sick!!
Not even 5 minutes in and man does the e36 look like a much more settled car then in the last testing video! So stoked to see you progress in it Jimmy main!
The complete automotive universe is assembled, this LZ invitational is going to be even more wild than the first one. and the e36 is getting dialed, car is getting better and better the P steering being the only big weak link at the moment shows how well the car is built!
nah, jimmy doesnt have the seat time, those guys have been in countless comps, plus he is in a car he isnt used to yet. anything can happen and i would love jimmy to somehow pull it off, but he is definitely an underdog
@@seanharrison6162 what you think people are going to drift worse on purpose so jimmy can win? its all for fun sure but the drivers there are elite, denofa, taylor ray, LZ, Fink, Nate Hamilton... these guys couldnt drive bad if they wanted to, have loads of comp experience, not to mention they all already have set up cars not a brand new build they are getting used to.. jimmy has hardly any seat time in this car, they are still shaking it down and he is still getting used to RHD. from their website " Competition will be laid-back and fun, but judging will be taken seriously with prizes worth over $30,000." i love jimmy more than any of them and hope somehow he wins but realistically its a very slim chance
@@charlieward7606 winning and being competitive are very different things im just saying in tbis style competition he's competitive if it was these drivers going 100% jimmy shouldn't even have left CT nobody's gonna drive shit on purpose but also no one is in killmode
@@seanharrison6162 being competitive literally means having a shot at winning or to be on the same level as your competition,he isn’t yet, those guys have been doing it way longer. It’s great experience for him and I hope it goes smoothly and he does welll but of course everyone is going to be driving 100% it’s a massive event, public and sponsors watching, not to mention they are all competitive people otherwise they wouldn’t be competing and the engines as prizes are just the cherry on top. Just because we want jimmy to win it won’t make it so. But I would love to be proven wrong as jimmy is my favorite of the TH-camrs and I love e36s
Hey Jimmy awesome tip for doing suspension work when you're doing your final tightening of all the bolts it's good to have weight on the suspension and it doesn't find when you put the weight down on the car if you have it all hanging when you tighten the fasteners it puts bind on the suspension when you lower the vehicle I'm sure you know this it's just good to practice it
The add that popped up before the video began was safelite auto glass then the video starts and you’re driving the truck 😂 safelights a great company would recommend 😂
I think you should try to have the same grip on the shifter every time you're changing gears. Now you're changing the grip every time you're touching the shifter.
Love to see all my boys, all different aspects and views on builds nothing but friendly competition amongst friends, family and brothers car enthusiast at their best🏁🏴☠️🎥🔥✌🏼 The only ones that I don’t see as of now are the boosted boys and KG garage keep Gunning🔫🌏 🔫🔫🔫🔫, but Jimmy always shows love 🫶🏼to the under dogs rockin the gear we see you💪🏼😎🎥🔥.
The 325/328 diff's (US M3) are actually pretty sturdy. My buddy has run the original 325i diff to the cars vin in his 600hp M60B40 swapped E36. Only broken 2 used OEM axels in about 20 events over the past 5 years too. I can't believe it's holding together. With a supercharger and all that torque you clutch kick far less than most of these lazy turbo motors, and it just eats.
@@weedshoes5089 We dont even cool them, just stock back plates and send it. It's usually the guys with the small diffs and axels that have the most problems
10:30 BMW does not make power steering pumps. Theres ZF pumps and theres LUK pumps. They look similar but the brackets are slightly different and the hoses are slightly different too. You can swap them back and forth easierly, but you need the accessories, which cost not much i guess you need to know that first. The ZF is the "better" pump. It's more durable to abuse, but thats only if we are talking 30 year old pumps. if you get a new one today, LUK or ZF its going to last the life of the E36 if you take properly care of it and run the right ATF and dont have leaks and let it run dry. Just putting info out if anyone needs it
Such an awesome video, been watching since before you got the 36 and never thought it would end up as dope as this. Austin is killing it with the videos 🤌🏼
That blue circle car thing Arron has i thought about something like that being the way forward as a drift car its saves busting up a good car few more panels tho
Jimmy please put a 315 diff or 294 im NA s52 and hated it on 391 it was way too short and had to use 3rd a lot, you have the power to back up the longer diff ratio you be much happier and the car too
Idk how you hated that. 3.91 in my m50 literally brought the car back to life. Being able to swap back and forth between 2nd-3rd will also help save your trans too. I’ve blown up two transmissions with a 3.15.
@@bradgraham8272 you absolutely right it is about the wheel speed but at 500+ hp and 3.91 diff 2nd gear is only 47mph you ain’t goin no where at this point he’s on rev limiter all the time and he doesn’t want to change gears all the time where 3.15 diff with zf trans would put him to 60mph on 2nd or 2.94 diff would be 65mph which it would be perfect for this track. All other guys are probly around 60-70mph wheel speed on this track
@@Chattsteezy you need to figure out your setup first and Match that and yes 3.91 diff with m50 and getrag trans is pretty good setup since you only workin with 150 hp. I’ve had 3.91 diff with m52 zf trans and it was pretty good, once I swapped s52 in i was on rev limiter all the time (50hp more and it was whole new animal) and I was goin no where cuz it was just blowing the tires off just like him on the video (and yes I was playing with my grip tire pressure tires and springs) with s52 and 2.94 diff I don’t have to clutch kit car is planted it’s fast and i finally get tire smoke. Every setup has its own sweet spot and it depends on the track too.
If the car has the power to do it why not start off in second to avoid a gear change on the run up? Why not a little more rpm for some more wheel speed
@@Jeremy-bc2sz more rpm = more wheel speed, he said it himself he doesn’t feel like he needs much more but if the motor could handle another 200/500 rpm it may give him the wheel speed he needs and starting in second in that car isn’t gonna cause it many issues especially if it’s only one event. That or run third.
I just wanna say, spoon is so heartwarming. Him saying thank you to the little girl who helped push was so dope
Grant's livery is legit af - didn't think that red / pink combo would look that good
we knew when we seen the harnesses LZ made, in jimmys car
it doesnt. rims gotta go
especially
because those rims fade in like a couple of months so will look even worse
Nah, pink on red doesn't work. Maybe it looks better in person though.
Needs some white wheels to match the accents
Austin you killed the edit! loved the PIP view from above while drifting
I absolutely cannot STAND when the video ends 😢😂
Thought you were talking about Tommy lol, if so I agree
@VDubVroomer
It really is.

i love when everyone are hanging out at the compound!! film even more it's so much fun watching!
Not even 5 minutes in and man does the e36 look like a much more settled car then in the last testing video! So stoked to see you progress in it Jimmy main!
It'll be interesting to see rudnik and Tommy to bump in to each other at the event. 👀😂
Sad part is we won’t even get to see it.
If Tommy is smart he'll humbly tuck his tail between his legs and beg for ruddy's forgiveness, and if ruddy's smart he'll accept.
@@rallysport4207 I will. 😂

Isnt really complete without Cleetus. If the guy wasn't busy protecting his track he'd prolly drop by the LZ Invitational.
@JPotter he ain't a drift guy though is he he just does it sometimes
I think the only thing is that he doesn't have the Sustainable angle that taylor or adam has but otherwise i think he's gonna be very competitive
nah, jimmy doesnt have the seat time, those guys have been in countless comps, plus he is in a car he isnt used to yet. anything can happen and i would love jimmy to somehow pull it off, but he is definitely an underdog

100%
Easy way to flog out rubber bushes very quickly too
Shout out to spoon, if your car breaks you definitely want him on your team. Always calm collected
That windshield crack is gnarly
Aaron Losey's car is basically a Death-to-everyone-else-Cart
Luke is such an amazing inspiration. Always sharing information to help out the homies.
i could watch all the boys in one spot like this all day. it’s like when ur child hood shows collababed up
Every time the gang is down in Florida it brings me so much joy
Steve straight spittin some game!🤣 Love all these guys hanging out
@Jimmy Oaks I second the blimp idea
I put an oversized pulley on my power steering pump and so far it has helped a ton with reliability and temps
Spoon is the man! Also the circle track car sounds sick
Love to see it. Yall turned that e36 out. It's wayyy more settled than the other day. Go work Oakes Team. 🔥
I'll turn your mother out.
This is a dream come true all you guys in the same place ready to drift!
looks like a good time. Have fun boys!
Tommy and rudnick in the same location this should be interesting
The add that popped up before the video began was safelite auto glass then the video starts and you’re driving the truck 😂 safelights a great company would recommend 😂
I can't get over how good that all iron sbc sounds
I like the in car and out in the same frames
Love seeing the juicebox logo floating around the videos 😄
That blue open wheel car is gonna flip someone. I'm calling it now.
Jimmy “bang the limiter like onion” Oakes
Yo, I loved the pip/ inside and outside shots. That was sick.
best of luck for the comp!
The in car and our of car editing was really good, I would like more of that Mr Editor!
Love it dude all the boyss hang aroud at compound 🔥🔥🔥🔥

@@placeholdername3206 i don't cool mine either, but I've seen a failure at COTA.
@@weedshoes5089 They do fail yep, but i find it happens more with the m50 turbo guys that clutch to keep it going all the time
@@weedshoes5089 To be honest, we've never even changed the oil in the diff except when the car was built 5-6 years ago
Love the pip while drifting. 🎉 awesome
Where are all 3d-printer people when we need em!
Still think you should look into a Scanned/3d-printed Vent for the Headlight to Turbo :3
Damn I wish my homies would look at me the way Stevie's eyin down Jimmy at 10:04🙃
You probbably need upgraded power sterring pulley with bigger diameter, on high rpm drift bmw it’s a must!
Have luck🤟🏾

Maybe consider different pulley for the power steering pump :D They are not meant to be on the limiter all the time. Or electric power steering pump.
You should see if the diff in that parts bmw has a more favorable gear ratio. If it fits your? 🤷
gotta weld it and everything, just wants to chill with friends
YEEEESSSSSS! jimbo gonna get that machine gun Larry bump soon
Oakes Blimp SR20 build coming soon?
Jimmy and gang y'all rock! Love the channel and content! Peace
Tommy the type of guy to say "have a good night" then rob you when you go to sleep.
Such an awesome video, been watching since before you got the 36 and never thought it would end up as dope as this.
Austin is killing it with the videos 🤌🏼
If you don’t like the z3 rack try the e46 gold or purple tag, it’s quicker than the stock e36 but not as short as the one you got, IIRC.
Dammit Tom. You shoulda came clean! 🧼
Proud of you and you and your team Jim, shits next level
When did you get that big crack in the windshield of your new truck?
Wish I could be there, but at least I get to be at winter jam tomorrow.
All the Homies together Dope....
Let's go! Have fun Jimmy! Love your videos!
Love the video !!🤘🏻🔥🔥
9:04 them cats won't steal itself
I hope it rains for Losey
That blue circle car thing Arron has i thought about something like that being the way forward as a drift car its saves busting up a good car few more panels tho
The only problem I can see for those is the bodies are usually single piece, which is going to suck when you tap doors/walls.
need a wing on the e36 for sure.
I love Jimmy O, but I gotta say Steve is a favorite as well. Steve is always good and mint.
Imagine the contennt if everyone lived around eachother. Shit would be bangin
my 3.63 with a zf is way too short for the streets. i can't imagine what a 3.91 with a zf is like
it’s awful lmao, going 70 (most people go 75-80 down here) is just over 4k rpm 🥴
Bro that looks like such a good time
Jimmy how much does a windshield
Really cost brother
Biiiiig RB guy! Loves a RB30 babaaaaayyyyy
Im waiting for the day that everyone turns up to adams compound wearing his merch, imagine his reaction?
grants car next to adams s15 looks sickkkkkkk
Need a diff out of automatic for 3rd to be useful
Team Oakes is dopest at the compound 🫶🏼

Ah yes the struggle that is 100 variations of vintage German car accessories. Thanks for sharing in my pain.
Winters quick change next on the list 👌
Car looks good out there.
I said the same thing you said about wheel speed...taller tire maybe??? I don't remember the rear you have. 3.91? Maybe time for a 4.10 homie!
Yo where can I find the beats from the video? I heard the oh yea bud tag so im assuming Stevie made them. He have a soundcloud?
Patreon gang there always a week link a car is never finished in my eyes but bolt check with any modification is always good.
that poor truck windshield lol
This legit just looks like the best craic 😂
Damn Jimmy you act, like you didn’t see Tommy walking in -0:58 🤭🤔🤣🤣🤣
@21:29, yes! anddddd blue loctight is your friend! NOT RED< BLUEEEE
Its a competition car now so might be time to bite the bullet and go a quick change diff so you can have a nice ratio for every track
Find a diff with a different final drive before the invitational?
Nicest sounding v8 by far 👏
I bet that crack in the truck's windshield makes driving the truck more exhausting than it normally is. Get it fixed guys!
They got other sht to worry about
you def should order a quick change
What's the music at 2mins + love all the beats in your video's sorry intro music I ment from Liverpool yesee
Man spoon is the mvp fr .

4.10 is a small case though right?
we need another Jimmy vs LZ bmx off
