Awesome, it's so good to see it do lap after lap without some kind of major gearbox fault lol Once the shift cut is sorted and the alignment is dialled, this will be a monster!
I've been following this build for ever. It's looking absolutely mega on that last session. The development has made that into a very serious track weapon. I'd love that car! I'm a Nissan guy but I'd definitely love that.
Man that blueberry m3 ice cream looks lush!!! So happy it's performing now and we get to see this beast in it's full potential under your hands. Loved the footage of Jay striding, having a blast and also with no issues too. Can we get some feedback from both of you on that new e30 suspension please? Really happy for you guys! Happy new year!!!
E30 gods are telling you don’t need traction control in E30 chassis ! Seriously though, great progress and video ! Cheers 🥂 and to having more fun in 2023!
Delighted for you Phil, and Jay, great achievement, and fair play for seeing it through not just huge financial cost, but huge mental cost as well. Thanks for sharing the ups and downs all the way.
It's faster because it's slightly lighter with a better balance. The shifts are slightly slower with the Drenth and the ratios aren't quite as good as they were with the DCT, but the difference is it actually works.
Those in car videos remind me of the old BTCC cars that were so effing awesome. I need to get my " track car " that I've had for years now actually ON a track instead of just mountain roads.
Woo hoo! That’s got some understeer. Looks and sounds amazing. I had the exact same problem with my quaife gearbox and the geartronics flat shift. I had the ‘dead zone’ set too tight and when you pinged the lever for the next gear it would kind of shudder and the sensor would cut the ignition.
I actually was wondering about the shifter versus the handbrake situation would do to your brain. Haha. That's awesome. Good to see the 3 back on track.
Although i love this time of year for how minging and greasy the roads. Making it fun for doing cheeky skids and bits of sideways action, i still can't bloody wait for the summer.
Gearshift strategy takes an age to get get right especially if the signals are going on over a bus. Downshifts look brutal, tweaking the overrun fuelling and banging a load of ignition advance in will help the blip response and smooth them out a bit.
Phil thanks for all the work, the car sounds lovely with the straight cut noises. I noticed you wearing some fitted earplugs too. What kinda are they and would you recommend them? I’ve been looking for some to wear on track that fit comfortably under a helmet.
Thanks Michael, funnily enough I forgot them at this event. I was shoving tissue in my ears before each run 😂. The kit I use is Fuze I think, but I can't find them in the UK anymore. I need another kit.
Last session looked like fun definitely more confidence in it 👍 is the gearbox a little quieter on the track? Any benefit to a larger/ more obvious gear indicator?
Quieter than the DCT? No, thats from a road car. The Drenth is straight-cut and very noisy (not as bad as I thought it could be). I have a new bigger dash to fit at some point.
I miss my E30 M3 so so much. Unfortunately ill health meant I had to sell and it'll take a lottery win to get another. Even a 2 door E30 shell is silly money nowadays.*
Top video as usual! Phil, what buttons do you have on the steering wheel button plate? I´m looking for something that would work on my completely original interior and steering wheel and these have a nice profile.
Cheers. They are the Cartek remote buttons. Currently not working as the controller blew up, but I maybe rewiring them into the new PDM I have when I get around to fitting it.

The noise from that gearbox is just beautiful, I love that straight cut gear whine 😍
Yeah, so sick!
" The first laps after doing some work are intense". Understatement of the year, Phil. Right there with you, though. Thanks
You can see what good fun you’re having after your first run. Such a laugh to be on a track day with your mates!
I don’t mind the ‘slow stuff’ it’s a nice insight into how the car sounds being driven around normally
Awesome, it's so good to see it do lap after lap without some kind of major gearbox fault lol
Once the shift cut is sorted and the alignment is dialled, this will be a monster!
3rd camera angle was the best by far, looked like it was performing well!
I've been following this build for ever. It's looking absolutely mega on that last session. The development has made that into a very serious track weapon. I'd love that car! I'm a Nissan guy but I'd definitely love that.
Well done Phill
Well done Jay
The little clap by jay at the end was gold.
God bless
Gotta say, Phil, the straight cut gears in that box is the audible cherry on top.
Epic work done by you and Jay as always.
Thanks for taking us along for the gearbox journey. Quite the machine now.
First 5 seconds is a flex 👌Sounds amazing on track 🎧💯🥇 All the best for 2023 to all the @driftworks Family 🥂
S65 sounds incredible as always. I feel like the m52 doesn’t get enough love in the sound department. It was quite a pleasant soundtrack as well

Hats off to you Phil watched the build from day one. What a machine 👏
Sounds the nuts from the cockpit of the beemer.the gearbox is awesome. Great work on getting that gearbox in.🔥👍
That is astonishing performance!! Love the update vid Phil, top work👍🏻
Thanks man!
Matching Porsches at the start of video & a sequential caged E30 M3 V8. That alone is quite simply perfection.
This must be heaven to drive man,especially with the sequential
E30 gods are telling you don’t need traction control in E30 chassis !
Seriously though, great progress and video ! Cheers 🥂 and to having more fun in 2023!
This video is true happiness 😊 cool to see it works this good after all the dct hassle.
Thanks man!
i love when my Tomos gears sound like that....what a rocket man
Delighted for you Phil, and Jay, great achievement, and fair play for seeing it through not just huge financial cost, but huge mental cost as well. Thanks for sharing the ups and downs all the way.
Thanks man!
@@driftworks is it faster now, not just geometry but also because of the way it takes gears?
It's faster because it's slightly lighter with a better balance. The shifts are slightly slower with the Drenth and the ratios aren't quite as good as they were with the DCT, but the difference is it actually works.
The new gearbox works well. Very fast and accurate. Works well in cooperation with the engine.
Fitment is on point ❤
Enjoyed that. Sequential box is the way to go !
Great vid again driftworks . A really well built rocket 🚀 that's for sure .
has a nice V8 supercars vibe to the noise now!! awesome sauce!
This things going to be a weapon once everything is dialed in and you've got some better track conditions
amazing!!! What an incredible car you've all built!!!
Some car and some great work done by Phil and jay class
The gearbox whine sounds 👍
This is just incredible guys ! More upshift flyby shots though we need to hear the up shifts from the outside 😬😬😬😬
That might just be the best M30 M3 in existence👍
Those in car videos remind me of the old BTCC cars that were so effing awesome. I need to get my " track car " that I've had for years now actually ON a track instead of just mountain roads.
I usually put my videos into list Watch Later. Not this one I've been waiting for this Phil.
Woo hoo! That’s got some understeer. Looks and sounds amazing. I had the exact same problem with my quaife gearbox and the geartronics flat shift. I had the ‘dead zone’ set too tight and when you pinged the lever for the next gear it would kind of shudder and the sensor would cut the ignition.
Epic driving at the end
So so cool. The noise alone would be enough to not want to get out
I actually was wondering about the shifter versus the handbrake situation would do to your brain. Haha. That's awesome. Good to see the 3 back on track.
so good to see someone hammer donington and from a cars ooint if view compared to us 2-wheel nutters.
The pace on that M3 is mental in the flesh/metal. Thanks again for allowing me to fanboy on the day. Top lads 🚙💥💥
Thanks Jon! 👍
Thats got to feel sooooo much more like a touring car now with that gearbox. Few tweaks and itll be mint.
speakin frozen conditions; ""that gearbox is the ICING on the cake!!
Continuer comme sa , vous me faite rêver, vous êtes les rois 👍
Nothing says Christmas like a trackday 👍
nice work guys!
The BMW sounds incredible 👍🤯 and it looks amazing 😍.
Cheers
What a car. Awesome. And I love how you build a car, then drive the nuts off it. Top stuff🤘
Thanks 👍
Been waiting for this upload, certified ripper confirmed 🤘🏼
What a car! Very high quality video !
Thanks 👍
Lovely cagoule, James.
That paint quality on the roll cage is better than most cars off the production lines nowadays get in jay cherry head
Although i love this time of year for how minging and greasy the roads. Making it fun for doing cheeky skids and bits of sideways action, i still can't bloody wait for the summer.
That’s a proper track car. Good luck trying to sleep at night because you’re going to be antsy thinking about going back to Donington!
Any guess the e30 is phils favourite track car lol
incredible pace 👏
Gearshift strategy takes an age to get get right especially if the signals are going on over a bus. Downshifts look brutal, tweaking the overrun fuelling and banging a load of ignition advance in will help the blip response and smooth them out a bit.
So chuffed for you Phil!
Thanks man!
Buzzing this was the outcome! Would like to see more of Jays E30 and the Yaris in the future but e30 M3 is epic!
Normally the vid would have more of them in it, but no-one was running cameras. We were just having a fun day out.
@@driftworks certainly not a complaint! What it’s all about 👍🏼
Nearly 3 minutes of decent footage there mate top job 😂
Awesome!
Gotta say though jays helmet would go well in the 33 😂😂😂
Looks good, sounds good. Keep up the amazing work!
Cheers. Will do.
How’s it going fellas hope you had great Xmas looking forward to this phill . 👍🏻😉
Phil thanks for all the work, the car sounds lovely with the straight cut noises. I noticed you wearing some fitted earplugs too. What kinda are they and would you recommend them? I’ve been looking for some to wear on track that fit comfortably under a helmet.
Thanks Michael, funnily enough I forgot them at this event. I was shoving tissue in my ears before each run 😂. The kit I use is Fuze I think, but I can't find them in the UK anymore. I need another kit.
i still get so excited whenever you upload even after all these years, plans on getting this on the ring? or anothee toy
I'd definitely take it to the ring now (or after I finish the next phase of work). We're considering booking for next year.
Beautiful car the M3,i love it!👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Jays bit was quiet poetic I thought , as the clio yielded to the E30
Last session looked like fun definitely more confidence in it 👍 is the gearbox a little quieter on the track?
Any benefit to a larger/ more obvious gear indicator?
Quieter than the DCT? No, thats from a road car. The Drenth is straight-cut and very noisy (not as bad as I thought it could be).
I have a new bigger dash to fit at some point.
Great entertaining video. Cheers lads. Have a good new year
Cheers 👍
Love you guys
A monster just got more Monster good skills
Can't describe how happy it makes me knowing that the DCT is gone
y
such a yumy M3 love it !
Long time subscriber, i have only just realized now that its lhd
All E30 M3s are unless converted 👍
Even with no TC, it doesnt look to hard to catch and/or looks pretty stable when the rear slips.
Yeah it's got a good ratio of grip to power as the S65 has low torque at low revs.
Oh hello, happy holidays, should be a great video :)
Lovely flow on that final session, enjoyed that rip!
Mega - love it!
you should get a chin mount for the helmet/go pro. search up
Misha Charoudin's recent videos and you can see how immersive it is
Don’t like Beemers in general. All but the e30 M3. Love your beautiful car
🥶❄️esta bien frio saludos desde Alabama bmw life
Бэха это поцанячая машина. Бэха, это стильно и круто.
I have an E30 and I gotta say, no E30 has any business being that fast haha
😄
Dude, I have this exact same car!…… On GTA 5 😂 absolutely beautiful dream car
Dude.that things fast! 95% dialled in, maybe a bit wider front tires foe the understeer... 👍
That's my plan. They don't make these wheels any more unfortunately though.
Sounds just like an Australian V8 supercar!
Not the first to say that, and it's a strong compliment 👍
Jesus that's fast. Any chance of adding a bottom corner revs and speed to the next vid?
I need to buy the Aim camera that goes with the new Dash I have. Then I can probably do that.
Fucking beautiful E30 M3 💯🔥🔥🔥
Professionally late 🤣🤣 i like that
I miss my E30 M3 so so much. Unfortunately ill health meant I had to sell and it'll take a lottery win to get another. Even a 2 door E30 shell is silly money nowadays.*
Awesome guys!! Love this car! Supercharger now! Lol…
That thing is rapid, credit to you guys. Just imagine it on an 18degree dry day what it will do.... jeesus
after 15 minutes of watching I realised that the steering wheel is on the left 🤣
Sick! Turn off hypersmooth on the gopro if you wanna remove the tracking 👌
I have it on on purpose, it adds a lot to a video You just have to point in the right direction in the first place 😂
Those camera angles eek!!!
Awesome guys👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice

Is this beginning of sequential swapping everything in the DW fleet? 👀
No, it's great for a track car. Most of my cars are road cars though. I wouldn't want a dog box.
When 10 into 1?
Huge Real view mirror and tiny side view mirrors are funny.just like the rest of the car.
Weapon ❤
