2024 has come and gone like a flash, but luckily for us we did succeed in achieving our racing related goal set in late 2023.
What racing goal was it? To modified and tune our BMW G81 M3 Competition (GRIMACE) to consistent 9 second quarters, with only 4 hardware changes and custom tuning. We succeeded in this and have enjoyed multiple 138mph runs down the quarter, averaging to a 9.97.
Next year we’re going to turn things up a notch, for the first quarter of next year the plan is to take that 9.97 down to consistent 9.7-8s. From there, we’ll upgrade the turbos to hybrid units and try to take number into the 8’s or at least as close as we can get. In later part of 2025, Grimace’s S58 and ZF8HP will be coming out, with built units in replacement chasing the potential of a 7 to 8 second streetcar BMW G81 M3 Competition. Of course, we will endeavour to share progress and modifications as they arise.
We won’t be only Drag racing next year as will are locked in for more Roll Racing events at Sydney Motorsport Park. It will be great to see Grimace (our G81 M3) take on some of the best at each stage of his transformation next year.
Regarding our BMW M140i Track Car, it sadly didn’t see as much track time as we would have wished this year, but plans are already in motion to fix that come 2025. We’ll also do a complete build break down soon, as there are quite a few trick modifications many of you wouldn’t know about.

For now, let’s recap on the year that was - EuroWerke Racing 2024:
EURO-DAY, Roll Racing Sydney
21st April 2024
“We have been looking forward for this day for quite some-time. It feels like forever since we hit the track and roll racing must be one of our favourite ways to do it.
It’s quick, simple and almost feels like you’re doing it on the street (something we don’t condone of course!). We promote taking things off the public roads and always heading straight for the track. It’s safer and more controlled, in-turn allowing for much more fun!
This event is one that brings together a lot of the European Car Community, both owner-drivers and specialist workshops. It allows us to go head-to-head and see just who is fastest. At the end of the day, is there any simpler way of measuring a cars performance than a straight line pulls.”

Four Modifications:
9 Second BMW G8X M3 / M4
May 2024
“Aim: To run consistent 9-second quarter miles with only 4 basic hardware modifications and a custom tune.
Our goal with all our project vehicles is to test, tune, break and rebuild so that we can best offer you, our customer, the best recommendations, parts, performance, and warranties. With our most recent project - Grimace the G81 M3, our initial goal was to build a reliable, high-performing, consistent and warrantable 9-second quarter-mile M3 with the least number of modifications possible. Guess what? We have reached our first goal and are ready for you all to join in the fun.
How might you ask? With Four Hardware Modifications and Two Tuning Modifications…”

BMW SUPERFEST, w/ BMW Drivers Club of NSW
September 2024
“When we first heard about the BMW Club of NSW’s plans to create a ‘BMW Superfest’ right here in Sydney we were excited… to say the least. We’re huge BMW Club supporters and long-term members, the thought of a big event run by the club and for the community… is something we’re all about!
We knew we wanted to get involved so when Ash from the BMW Club of NSW reached out to us regarding a trade stand and potential event sponsorship, it took us the whole of 1-second to decide. We opted-in to becoming naming sponsors of the ‘Super-Sprint’ element of the day; this would allow us not only take-part in the event with our own track specific vehicles but have a dedicated space to display other elements of EuroWerke to the BMW community.”

Roll Racing ‘State of Origin’
September 2024
“Roll Racing ‘State of Origin’ last Friday night was an absolute blast! With so many of Australia’s fastest modified cars all in one place, it was an event not worth missing. Unfortunately for us, the flavour of the night was race-cars leaving Grimace and his stock turbos left being one of the cars at the lower end of the power spectrum in the competition. Even though, that didn’t stop us from having a crack, but as things go…”
