You got an OEM GTS (awesome, btw!!

) which you took parts from for this replica - meaning you know have an OEM GTS without lights and interior and this replica car? I don't get it

I only borrowed the lights for taking complete pictures, everything else is OEM from BMW or rep.

Aaah okay! Got it. So it's really a completely 'independent' GTS replica (except for the lights).

That is actually pretty damn cool!!

How much are all the parts together and how many hours have you spent for the build?

Checkcaptain · 12-21-2016, 12:55 PM

Did not calculate yet, but cheaper than the OEM car.
Plus, this way I could change e few things that I did not like on the OEM car.

Plans to incorporate water injection system? How about suspension?

Great job looks excellent!

Nope, it has the OEM GTS exhaust, Akra DP and software.
Power is good enough.
KW suspension.

A few of you know already that I am doing a GTS build.
Now that I am approaching the final stages I'd like to post some pics.
So far only mobile phone quality shots.

Check, Were you able to do the rear seat delete without any modifications?
It looks real cool and clean looking back there.

WestBankM4 · 12-22-2016, 05:54 PM

It would appear you have the OLED's on both your GTS and non-GTS? I thought you borrowed from your GTS?

WOLF-PACK · 12-23-2016, 02:45 AM

Wow... soooo good

Weld in brackets are required for that.

Check,

The weld plates would be for the roll bar yes? I wanted to know more about the boards. Does the back board lock in to the excisting seat locks? I would like to do the whole back with out the roll bar.

Thanks for your assistance
