2014 BMW ///M6 "Safety Car" Official Car of SHIFT S3CTOR!
Hey guys just wanted to share my new look I did for this past weekends SHIFT S3CTOR 1/2 Mile Airstrip Attack 5.
Wanted the car to stand out more for media so I decided to replicate the 2015 BMW M4 Safety Car just for this event! Graphics took well over 10-15 hours for this event alone... def got the attention I wanted. Don't mind few pictures w out the lip... the lip fell off due to braking hard after a 160+ run against a AMS Alpha 10 GTR due to the previous shop installing the lip w/out any double sided tape.... (Long story short) I was running on 3 PSI over with the BMS Tune realizing later when Terry from BMS helped out with the Transmission Malfunction issue occurring over & over at 120+ mph due to having the older software. Later I found out that 1 PSI = 1.44 so I was over boosting + heat soaking the car due to its climate at 4.32 PSI over which led to each run going into limp mode right when hitting 120 mph. After turning down the boost to 2.5 PSI over the car ran perfectly fine & strong the next following day. Not to mention the boost kicked in a bit sooner and more linear through the 1/2 mile run. Keep in mind I was also running a small mixture of 91 with 5 gallons of MS109 from VP Racing Fuel on Nitto NT05 Street Race tires. My best trap on paper turned out to be 160 mph when I clearly did few passes at 164-166 a tad second before my speed limiter kicked in each run not recorded due to technical issues. I was able to pull on all the M5 & M6's by few cars at this event along with fully modded GTR's with bolt ons + E85 by a car length. Overall IMHO the car is maxed out and I believe there is not much more we can do to this car other than adding the BMS Meth Kit or by waiting for someone to FINALLY break the ECU so we can swap to upgraded turbos on a E85 tune...

Joey, your car is just porn to my eyes! Love the new look! How much did it cost? Thinking about adding a few m stripes.

Good post. Looks like it was fun. Car looks official. What older software are you referring to?

Vinyl wrapping the car with a good connection shouldn't cost more than $6-900 depending on what material and stickers you cut.

Of course they thought it was an official Safety Car - yours looks completely authentic.
I really wanted to do SS this year, but my scheduling didn't allow it. Our cars are really similar (minus the BMS, carbon fiber front spoiler, and obviously the new wrap), so it would have been fun to run. Next year, I will schedule around the event. Here's a pic of mine. I only bought it, Vic55 was the original owner and did all the work before selling it with a few K miles on it.... Anyway, you put a lot of work into your beast - major kudos |

Haha I bet. So the software is in reference to the BMS box not the cars software. Got it. I received my bms box today. I had a buddy set it at 2.5 but I'm not sure if it's the older or newer software.
