3 Series owners battery ordeal
Sometimes owning a car can be down right frustrating, especially when things get bad. You really get to know your car when you have to get down and dirty to fix issues that are bound to come up. This BMW owner however got really angry trying to boost his car and decided to vent on VWVortex, creating a very funny thread describing his ordeal getting to his battery.

Team Need for Speed: Silverstone GT3 2010
Will Roegge, the “damn, he’s good” cinematographer is at it again. Looks like Will has been commissioned by the Need for Speed team to create a promotional video for their FIA GT3 entry, the BMW Z4 (which, by the way looks smokin). The video doesn’t contain too much action but consider it a teaser for things to come.

Stoned BMW Z4
Check out this BMW Z4 created entirely out of brick and mortar! Whoever created this thing is very talented, not only did they create the exterior, they also recreated the interior in detail and added windows. This unusual car was spotted in the art district of Beijing, China.

Jeff Koons’ BMW M3 GT2 art car
BMW has unveiled its’ latest “art car” to the public, using the BMW M3 GT2 as a blank canvas Jeff Koons has created an interesting piece of art. The design features bands of different colours creating a motion blur effect, the weird looking crumbs represent debris and the 2 rings on the back of the car represent the super sonic speed of the car. Overall the car looks great starting at the front but quickly turns into a mess when you start moving to the back! This is BMW’s 17th art car, you can check out the previous art cars here.
After a bit of research I found more info about the artist, Jeff who has a very interesting past: check out this NSFW article on Jaloponik.
RB26DET swapped BMW E30
This project car started off with a 1986 BMW 328 shell, RB26DET engine and a $4000 budget. Like most project cars, the budget wasn’t set in stone and problems arose. Luckily the owner of the car documented nearly every process of the build, spanning 147 pages. The owner started building it in 2006 and the car still get’s updated regularly. View the build here.
Back on the job
While contemplating whether or not to find a part time job while some paper work was being processed for my business, I send a text to David from Garage Works to see if he had any positions open. Luckily he had an opening for some general help and some other work (more on that later). On the first day back the Garage Works crew were headed down to the Edmonton Garrison for a press conference that we were attending, so we brought down two cars and what two great cars they were.

Simply elegant, BMW M1
The BMW M1 was BMW’s only mass produced mid engined vehicle and was created in collaboration with Lamborghini. Even though it was released in the 1980′s, it has aged quite well and is still respected. Jan had a mini photo shoot with the famed car and the pictures prove this design is timeless. More pictures after the jump.

IND’s E92 M3 project
Caught wind of this post from JDMST, the guys at IND in Texas posted up their E92 M3 build for one of their clients. Judging by the caliber of parts and the attention to detail, no expense was spared. IND took a fresh E92 M3 (20 miles fresh) and stripped it down for a custom “Atlantis Metallic” paint job which is reminiscent of the E46 M3 “Laguna Seca Blue” colour. Of course once the car was stripped down, IND added some other goodies like one of kind carbon fiber door panels by Ericsson, BBS FI wheels, and a super charger from ESS Tuning. I can’t wait to see how the build turns out, check it out here.
