What is it like to drive a race car in a door to door endurance race? Well in this video I show you our 24hours of Lemons e46 BMW and our team’s first time on the race track. After installing a fire suppression system, battery cutoff switch, roll cage, and containment racing seat with a full 6pt harness, we are ready to race… Well, so we thought… What we expected to be a weekend of racing ended up being a weekend of swapping a blown motor with a new junkyard motor into the race car.

LITTTTYYYY
“….end in disaster.” GOOD GOD, MAN!! SPOILER ALERT!!
Maybe Cheap LS Swap
Damn! It was fire🔥
Scotty's next video be like:
"Why you should never race Lemons with a BMW, Instead take a Toyota or a Honda."
Hope for the next year.
!
Great little video. Great learning curve and bit of fun for you guys. Cant wait to see how it goes next time.
Heh, I have an E46 330i and now i'm going to be paranoid about that oil pump nut o.o
Its about not giving up.
About being able to rebuild a car in the Pit stop area – from Radiator to Muffler.
About Overcoming tech issues – about engineering some magic solutions.
Game over, Insert coin to try again!
If Chris didn’t tell me that there was a map and weather temp, I would’ve have known
It’s a BMW 😭 what did you expect should’ve gotten a Toyota lol. Good luck next time guys.
You don't have to tell us to like the video, ther's no way I wouldn't
You'll get em next year!
I’ve been waiting for this for so long! It looks like so much fun.
Devastated for how your first race ended, but it's a learning experience, hopefully next time you guys are gonna smash it!
I've blown a few turbos in my time, but I have yet to throw a bearing. That hole was intense
I know what you mean one day I raced in 50°C whether I was going to pass out lol
You guys tried your best good job!
Just one question… why you never show your face on video??
honestly, this makes me wanna compete.
I’d say your car was the top lemon there
Sorry it went wrong. But great spirit of the team
😳 11:10 👴🏿👓🤏🏿 “now I know y’all seein what I’m seein”
Can we just take some time to appreciate this legend?
Bro I've been following your videos for over a year and man…. You're something else…. You're inspirational… Motivational… You're a real hard worker and that just adds so much validity…. You're REAL man… You show the real struggles… Real rewards…. Awesome man…. Complete awesomeness…. Sorry for the loss of your rod…. But knowing you…. You're gonna come back and kill it!!!
Congrats on the experience and thanks for always bringing us as close to being there with you as you can…. Much love, bro 🙌🤘🔥
BMW problems am I right dude?
Anyway from what I saw you did pretty damn good with that car man!
Wow a notification from my favorite car YouTuber
You are amazing Chris. Today i changed my struts on my car. Very satisfying to have it done correctly. Greetings from Sweden.
AARGH.. But I want to see the teardown in this video!
The BS inspector is dope lol
14:41 first curse word i ever heard on a chris fix video lol
Just water? No coolant? Correct me if I'm wrong but isnt coolant better than water or is it part of the rules? Seem like an odd rule to have if it is one.
So much blur/ghosting on the spectator camera.. Otherwise awesome video!
If your team didn't have to swap the engine I honestly thought you guys could've won
"This is pretty dangerous if it's not safe" … I laughed so hard at that lol
I'm thinking money shift. Too bad you didn't have the incar camera rolling. Been there done that. Great job sticking with it!
