Hi everyone,



I’m Jay Dalgarno from German AutoWerks LTD, and I’m thrilled to share something special with you all.

We’ve just launched a brand-new YouTube series where we dive headfirst into building a BMW E36 inspired by the legendary Super Touring Car (STW) era.



The E36 is already an icon in its own right, but the STW pedigree takes it to a whole new level. Our goal is to capture the essence of those late-’90s touring beasts—blending precision engineering, motorsport heritage, and modern craftsmanship. This isn’t just a quick bolt-on-and-go project. We’re going deep—dissecting every component, every choice, and sharing the nitty-gritty details with you along the way.



What to Expect in the Series:

•Chassis Prep & Reinforcement: We’ll be addressing the structural integrity of the E36 chassis, adding reinforcements to handle serious track abuse while keeping weight distribution optimal.

•Aerodynamic Upgrades: From splitters to wings, we’ll be analyzing and testing aero concepts inspired by STW regulations to maximize downforce without sacrificing speed.

•Engine Build: The heart of this project will be a high-revving masterpiece. Expect a deep dive into blueprinting, balancing, and squeezing out every ounce of performance while staying true to the STW spirit.

•Suspension & Geometry: We’ll fine-tune everything to create a setup that not only handles like a dream on the track but also reflects the advanced engineering of the touring car era.

•Attention to Detail: Every bracket, every bolt, every finish will be considered with precision. This isn’t just about performance—it’s about craftsmanship.



Our series is all about transparency and engagement. We’ll be breaking down our methods, sharing our mistakes, and highlighting the challenges that come with building a tribute of this caliber.



We’d love to have you along for the journey—not just as viewers, but as part of the build community. If you have insights, questions, or even just some encouragement, drop them in the comments or on the forums. Your feedback could help shape the direction of the project.



So, whether you’re a die-hard BMW fan, a motorsport enthusiast, or just someone who loves a good build series, we hope you’ll check it out.
