Editors Note: If you've been around r3v for a little while, you know about Otis and his turbo setups. Ive lusted after them myself for my own "318" but Im not as crazy as Otis and some of you. I love seeing updates on this car, but when you see the story behind what he's built, its pretty amazing. Especially when you can credit a M10 318 for essentially creating the Good& Tight empire! haha Congrats Otis on being selected July 2016 Car of the Month

Story behind the car:
Owned the car 22 years, it was my wife's DD when we meet, just a regular 318i. Modded the M10, still slow, got into turbocharging, built a Turbo 2.0 M10, it finally blew a rod at 27psi. Wanted to go faster, installed the Turbo M30 and it's a scary ride now, last dyno it laid down 554rwhp & 622ftlbsTQ. Runs 10.00 in 1/4 mile @ 137mph with 22psi. Everything on the car was fabricated by me except the transmission driveshaft.
Tuned by myself also..!!
Damn I've put a lot of time over the years in this car.
