Is this BMW E36 build the most radical Hill Climb monster in the world?Bimmerworld's ‘Bergsteiger' was built for Pikes Peak, and at The SEMA Show's Optima Batteries booth, chassis guru Wayne runs us through some of the thought that goes into a dedicated Hill Climb build. After selecting the Roush-built 1150HP Weistec Garrett GTX3076 turbocharged V8 P63 engine (the S63's motorsport variant) and doubling the output from a GT3 BMW M6 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship build it was quickly apparent that a tube frame chassis would be required to the accommodate the size of the engine.Some insight into the aero setup is shared, including the requirement for 2000lbs front downforce to match the rears 1800lbs at 150mph along with some of the layout decisions and placements required to get that car to a weight of 1100kgs (2400lbs) with a 50:50 weight distribution. A carbon fiber widebody and lightweight Forgeline GS1R rims wrapped with Continental tires also help keep that weight down. A Bosch Motorsport ECU is used along with a MoTeC dash display for logging and driver data on the electronics side of things, the suspension is looked after by Motion Control Suspension and Bimmerworld components along with PFC brakes to handle the demands of high altitude racing.Want to learn how to EFI tune?

Bavarian Motor Works (or in the native tongue: Bayerische Motoren Werke AG) commonly referred to as BMW is a German multinational corporation which produces luxury vehicles and motorcycles. Founded in 1916 as a manufacturer of aircraft engines - BMW is now one of the most common “track cars” you'll see on any given weekend. But how did we get to this point?  We've hinted on so many previous Break/Fix episodes that we were going to have a proper BMW chat, and this is that episode! Joining us for a low-key fireside chat on BMWs, is Donovan Lara CEO of GarageRiot and BMW aficionado, as well as returning guest James Clay President of BIMMERWORLD to unpack the world of BMWs for us. 

Suspension bushings are some of the most highly stressed components fitted to a vehicle (and least talked about). They undergo enormous strains in the most arduous of conditions with no maintenance or lubrication. Having old, tired, broken bushings, or even bushings made of poor quality materials, can cause excessive tire wear, braking instability and poor handling. This is the single biggest reason you can instantly tell the difference between driving a three year old car and a new one.  However, even new cars will benefit from upgraded components, especially bushings!  Powerflex is an engineering company with an arsenal of innovative solutions for failure-prone and poorly performing stock parts. And because of their superior design they offer much more effective control of the suspension components to a much greater extent than normal rubber items … And with us tonight from PowerFlex USA is Jake Palladini from sales and customer service - as well as Powerflex owner James Clay - who some of you might also recognize as the President of BimmerWorld! to discuss these crucial components of your vehicle.

On this week’s episode of Speed Secret Podcast, James Colborn joins me to discuss everything open wheel racing, what it’s like to race during the pandemic, and racing in British Formula Ford. We also offer tips on racing in the rain. James Colborn’s Speed Secret: Get comfortable with what data can do for you. James started racing in 2009. A graduate of the ProFormance Racing School in Seattle Washington, James acquired his first race license from the International Conference of Sports Car Clubs (ICSCC) and raced his novice year in a BMW E30 series called PRO3. From 2009 until 2017 James lived, and raced, in the United States running in a series of both professional and club racing events. Driving predominantly BMWs, James won races in the ICSCC, National Sports Car Association (NASA) and Sports Car Club of America (SCCA). This ranged from winning the 25 Hours of Thunderhill to SCCA and ICSCC sprint races. James also competed in numerous professional races in the Continental Tire Series, Street Tuner (ST) class with C360R and BimmerWorld. In 2018 James moved back to the United Kingdom and shifted focus to Open Wheel racing and the Formula Ford 1600 series. In 2020 James competed in the Castle Combe FF1600 Championship finishing second in C Class and winning the Formula Ford Carnival race (C Class). James campaigns his Van Diemen RF88 with Wayne Poole Racing. James is passionate about driver development using data. James has partnered with AiM Sports and AiM Technologies since 2013 and his tutorial videos, data seminars and one on one coaching have helped many drivers improve their driving through data analysis and interpretation.

David Jones of Bimmerworld joins us for the first time to talk about his ascension from NASCAR to watching himself on tv during the race. We talk and rant about the news, recap World Challenge from COTA.

Interview with James Clay the CEO of Bimmerworld. We talk about how he got in to the parts business and the core values that he has built on to take it to one of the largest BMW parts retailers in the country.

James Clay owns and operates Bimmerworld which he founded in 1997 in southwest Virginia. Bimmerworld is the premier BMW tuner and performance, racing, and parts warehouse in North America. In addition to providing OEM products plus performance and racing parts, he and his group run a professional racing ream in the IMSA Continental Tire Sportscar Challenge. James’ passion for the BMW marque started with an E30 M3, a car he promptly tore apart and rebuilt to go racing. While in grad school he sold off parts of his M3 to pay for his racing habit and Bimmerworld was born. His customer’s satisfaction is the fuel that drives the company every day.

James Colborn is originally from the United Kingdom who resides in the United States. He’s a racer who after spending four years of high performance driving event (HPDE) days, his good friend, and fellow Cars Yeah guest Don Kitch, owner of ProFormance Racing School in Seattle Washington, handed James the keys to a BMW E30 PRO3 race car and said “Take a few laps.” James was hooked. Since then he’s raced all over the US. The past two years he’s developed the new SPEC E46 class on both the East and West coasts. He’s competed at the professional level in the Continental Tire Series, in the ST class with team BimmerWorld and Compass 360.
