In this thrilling episode of Larry Chen, we follow the escapades of Willie and his prized possession, the magnificent BMW E9. From the JFK Airport rental car pickup to cruising towards the iconic Lime Rock track, the journey is nothing short of exhilarating. The Batmobile build story unfolds, starting from a humble Omega Bullhead watch trade, leading to a remarkable transformation with a mix of group four and five race car elements. Willie's unique rear radiator setup and the intriguing money shift knob crafted from real US currency add a touch of eccentricity to this already impressive build.
The heart of this beast lies in the turbocharged S52 motor sourced from an E36 M3, meticulously built by 5150 in Florida. Paired with a rear end from an E28 M5, the car boasts a blend of BMW parts that culminate in a truly exceptional driving experience. The decision to opt for a lexan windshield and a European wing addition further showcases Willie's attention to detail and penchant for individuality. As the journey unfolds, the track-worn car's battle scars bear witness to its prowess on the road, while plans for E85 tuning hint at even more power waiting to be unleashed.
Amidst the backdrop of a 7-Eleven cruise and a lively BBQ, the camaraderie between Larry, Willie, and their automotive companions shines through. The contrast between vintage classics and modern marvels, such as the Toyota GR Corolla, adds depth to the narrative. With a shared passion for cars and a relentless pursuit of automotive excellence, Willie's BMW E9 stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of automotive enthusiasts. As the day draws to a close, the promise of future adventures and further enhancements to this remarkable build leave us eagerly anticipating the next chapter in this automotive odyssey.
