Our BMW M4's Incredible Makeover for the Nurburgring Track

BMW M4 transformed for Nurburgring with roll cage, Recaro seats, Schirmer's kit, Endless brakes, Nitron suspension, and Apex-Nankang wheels.

The First Step: Beefing Up Safety and the Chassis

Picture this: last winter, something amazing happened. Our beloved BMW M4 began its transformation into a beast fit for the Nurburgring. First things first, we kitted it out with a roll cage. But this wasn't just about keeping safe; it also meant the chassis was now sturdier, ready to handle the track's twists and turns.

Making the Drive Better: Comfortable Seats and Secure Harness

Next up, we needed to sort the driver’s comfort for those intense Nurburgring laps. So, we fitted the M4 with posh Recaro Pole Position seats. Trust me, they’re the last word in comfort and support, perfect for staying focused behind the wheel. And for that extra bit of safety, we popped in a 6-point harness. It’s all about keeping steady when you’re pushing the limits.

Upgrading the Kinematics and Adding a Lift Kit with Schirmer's Help

Then came the time to tackle the rear differential. Out it went, and in came a swanky lift kit. We also threw in a front and rear kinematics kit from the famous Team Schirmer. This was a game-changer for the car’s handling and agility, exactly what you need for a track car.

Revamping the Brakes: Endless Pads, BMW Discs, and Top-Notch Fluid

No track prep is complete without beefing up the brakes. We opted for top-tier Endless front brake pads, paired with BMW brake discs and Motul Racing brake fluid. This setup means our M4 can take on the Nurburgring’s demanding stretches with absolute confidence.

Suspension and Tyres: A Winning Combo with Nitron and Apex-Nankang

And let's not forget the suspension system. We went for a Nitron 3-way system, praised for its flexibility and performance on tracks. For the wheels and tyres, we chose Apex wheels and Nankang tyres, ensuring top-notch grip and control, essential for the Nurburgring’s challenging course.

The Final Verdict: Nurburgring, Here We Come!

After months of hard graft and fine-tuning, our BMW M4 is unrecognisable. Every tweak, from the roll cage to the suspension, was meticulously chosen to boost its track performance. Now, with the upgrades complete, it’s off to the Nurburgring for the ultimate test. This journey from a standard M4 to a track-ready powerhouse really shows our dedication and love for motorsport. It's not just a car; it's a dream on four wheels.
