E8X Newest DCT Swapped N54 E82

[bennythebimmer]

I introduce the newest DCT swapped N54 e82 to the club. The car has undergone a full track prep over the winter but the last piece of the puzzle was getting the transmission that I wanted in there, the DCT. I absolutely could not have done this swap without @BMWJunkie! For those of you who don't know this dude is a BMW genius hands down. He was more than willing to go above and beyond to make sure the car was sorted properly. If you are thinking about doing this swap you will want to pick his brain.

The car is set to go on the dyno soon so stay tuned for more video, graphs, burnouts, etc. After initial test drive today the car just wants to rip the pavement up between the @DOC_Race 6266 ST kit and the DCT it is pure insanity.

Here are some pics and quick video. Stay tuned for more soon.

Very nice, wish I could have sold you my shift knob and shift trim. I've been trying to get rid of it since it doesn't fit the E9x

Awesome stuff! Welcome to DCT land.
There’s a group of us involved in retrofitting m3 drivelogic that you may be interested in.

I saw your post about these for sale a little while back. I found a good donor car a few days before your post and literally took every part I needed off that car.

Hi , do you have any updates on this build ? It looks amazing, keep us posted , I'm also interested in a DCT swap and I have gathered most of the parts. I just need a few tips on how to proceed. Maybe @BMWJunkie can help ?

Thanks,
