    Jobe from BigTime (frmr Donut) starts work on converting his E46 to CSL-like spec

    Those last 30 seconds are why I pay people to work on my M3 rather than do it myself. Absolutely terrifying.

      Did that sound like a spun bearing?

        Sounded like a squealing belt/pulley to me but noises on camera, on computer speaker are hard to identify lol.

        If it is a bearing it’s totally heartbreaking, hopefully the crank is ok.

          See, I thought it sounded like a squeal of a belt as well, though when he started up, it did sound a bit rough, but nothing too serious.

            Did not sound like a spun anything…but it makes for a great lead up to the next video

              Right but wouldn’t the bearing fail right away, like on the initial startup, if it was done wrong? Or would it be fine for a short time before failing?

                Would probably last a few miles.

                    I’m really confused by this build.

                    Every time he mentions a part he’s installing, I’m yelling “nooo” at my screen.

                    A CSL build without CSL fins (opting for the CF lip instead)? No CSL wheels? No cams? Likely going with the Turner airbox (I’m assuming they’re a sponsor) Is he planning to do a CF roof?

                    So far, the only actual CSL mod I see is the rear diffuser—and that came with the car.

                    Trying to have an open mind because I really like Jobe and the former Donut Crew but this series is off to a bizarre start.

                      Lol yea, bizarre is where I'm at as well.

                      As far as I can tell Turner/ECS must be sponsoring the build, which explains the questionable brake choice.

                      Also disappointing to hear them stoop to the level of "bigger is better" when talking about sway bars.

                      Either way, I'm entertained in the end.

                        It does seem like it's a "CSL as built by Turner" as they do seem to be a big sponsor of the video. That's why I said "CSL-like spec". I mean, if I had someone to sponsor me to build a CSL-like spec car without using CSL parts, I'd be 1000000% happy with it. lol

                          This is your standard influencer build. Parts are decided by whoever is sponsoring you or whatever is in stock so you can meet a publishing timeline. "Let me know what you think in the comments!"


                          I feel bad for kids growing up thinking this is the best you can do for this platform
