Does anyone know the details as to why it blew?

[sstarrx3]

This is exactly why I would not use my daily driver on a race track. If I wanted to race a car I would buy one just for racing. Just because BMWs are built to withstand greater punishment does not mean you should punish
them

Queue the video...LOL. Why would I take a dependable daily driver and do things to it that would blow the engine, like drive it like I stole it on a race track. I think a nice Auto X every now and then would be ok for fun. But I would not take it on a professional race track and Rev the hell out of it

First of all, we dont know if this is a "blown engine". Second, its a tuner race car.

Have to give them props for testing out their tuned car at the track. Most usa tuners just throw out something and sell it to you without r&d

This was a highly modified car. Plenty of people track their daily drivers with nothing to worry about other than brake pads at the end of the day.

Video has been delete by YouTube.

the m235i racing is made for racing and basically has stock everything.

this if it blew the engine was probably some messed up mod.

Exactly.

I'm one of them.

I can't wait to track a M235i!

[AnooooOH]

Because if money isn't a concern why wouldn't you take a high performance sports car to the place you can properly use the power?

It's fine if you don't want to deal with the hardship you'll put the car for, but we drive performance cars built with a performance heritage of racing. Otherwise I'd still be driving my FWD Acura which provided all the luxury, comfort, and day to day handling at a fraction of the price.

Throw a clear bra on the front end, some racers tape on the headlights, and go drive it like you paid $50k for it.

i can't wait to track my car! this video doesn't scare me as this car is far more tuned then il ever!
