La BMW la plus puissante de mon Garage ! (1000cv)

The speaker begins by sharing unfortunate news: they will not be attending the "Brûleur de gomme" event this year due to an accident on the highway. While the accident wasn't severe, it damaged the front of their car. They were traveling in a convoy with subscribers and team members, and fortunately, no one was injured. The speaker plans to provide a detailed explanation of the circumstances in a future YouTube video. They express disappointment about missing the opportunity to offer free rides, as they do every year, but mention that their morale is low after the incident, making it difficult to consider driving at high speeds on a circuit. Despite their absence, they encourage everyone to enjoy the event. They also mention plans to visit the Nürburgring in a few weeks to film videos and test Nat's Black Series M4. The video then shifts focus to various automotive projects. The speaker showcases a customized 110 CRF dirt bike with a 65 front end, larger wheels, and brakes, describing it as "incredible." Next, they discuss an Audi RS4 that had a minor issue with a shock absorber, requiring a repair. This leads to a discussion about a car giveaway featuring various RS models (RS3, RS4, RS5, RS6, RS7) and BMW M models (1M, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M8). The speaker highlights the RS4's configuration, including its green color, large rims, and brakes, and praises its "Virtual Cockpit" and overall design. A new vehicle acquisition is then introduced: a BMW 1 Series that appears to be a standard 118i but is secretly powered by a 1000-horsepower engine. The speaker jokingly acknowledges the exaggeration but confirms that they have ordered an M3 E92 rolling chassis for the car, with the brakes already received. The speaker then expresses surprise at the positive reception to their Ferrari 612 restoration project. They initially doubted its popularity but are pleased that viewers enjoyed the process, especially their hands-on approach to some of the mechanical work. They are preparing an even better second episode for the restoration series, which will detail the extensive list of parts needed and the plan to use authentic Ferrari paint. They have already received numerous inquiries from people wanting to buy the car. The main subject of the video is revealed to be a magnificent 130i turbo. The speaker explains that they purchased this car pre-prepared for content creation, but it has required significant financial investment due to frequent breakdowns. They acknowledge that prepared cars often require ongoing maintenance and upgrades. They detail the extensive modifications made to the 130i, which features an M50 2.5-liter engine from a 325i E36, now fitted with a large turbocharger, pushing its power to an estimated 700-1000 horsepower. The car initially suffered from a lack of braking power and frequent driveshaft breakages due to excessive power for the chassis. To address these issues, they installed four large brakes, rebuilt parts of the turbo's piping system with stronger clamps and hoses, and replaced the shock absorbers with adjustable coilovers to prevent the car from squatting excessively during acceleration. A complete M3 E92 rear axle, including the differential, subframe, control arms, and suspension, was adapted to the 130i. A custom driveshaft was engineered by their friend David to connect the gearbox to the new M3 differential. The speaker expresses slight concern about potential vibrations or premature wear due to the custom driveshaft, as it was not dynamically balanced. They proceed to test drive the 130i, focusing on bedding in the new brakes and checking for any issues with the custom rear axle and driveshaft. The car is currently in "track mode," with parts of the interior disassembled to accommodate the M3 rear axle installation. The suspension is set to a soft, comfortable setting, which the speaker appreciates for road driving, despite the car's immense power. They aim to maintain the car's unassuming "1 Series" appearance while having the performance to "massacre motorcycles." During the test drive, the speaker notes a slight vibration, which they suspect is the driveshaft touching the exhaust system during deceleration. They plan to investigate this further at the workshop. The video then briefly mentions the progress of another project, a 2000-horsepower M5, which is nearing reassembly. The speaker emphasizes that while prepared cars can be challenging, their unique performance is unmatched, even by supercars like Ferrari Pistas or Lamborghinis. Back at the workshop, the speaker inspects the 130i. They confirm the driveshaft is indeed touching the exhaust, specifically the exhaust hanger. They propose a simple solution: adding spacers to the gearbox support to slightly lower the gearbox and realign the driveshaft, hopefully resolving the contact and reducing stress on the flex disc. The speaker then showcases Nat's Black Series M4, which boasts 900 horsepower. They perform a brief acceleration comparison between the 130i and the Black Series. The 130i is described as an "on-off switch" with brutal acceleration once the turbo spools up. The Black Series, with its more integrated chassis, brakes, and aerodynamics, is noted for its smoother, more powerful delivery and is described as "a monster." The speaker expresses excitement to test the Black Series at the Nürburgring. The video also touches on the Ferrari 612 restoration, showing the meticulously repaired and repainted underbody and mentioning custom wheel centers. Finally, the speaker discusses their personal life at the château, including humorous anecdotes about their animals (horses, ducks, pigs) and their "love lives." They also mention new videos on their secondary YouTube channel about house renovation, covering topics like work distribution, budgeting, and timing. The video concludes with a reminder about the ongoing car giveaway, encouraging viewers to participate by purchasing merchandise from their website, latestri.fr. They plan to take the 130i to the lift to address the driveshaft issue.
