Vidar Jødahl and his infamous Buldre Racing BMW E30 spent the offseason being rebuilt. The body received a new carbon fiber roof panel, panel repair, and fresh coat of blue paint. Inside Vidar upgraded the electronics and installed a FIA-spec roll cage. The Toyota 2JZ-GTE inline-six also received some upgrades such as KM CAMS camshafts, reworked VVTi head, and Pulsar 8385 turbocharger. Vidar has not released power numbers for the new setup but the previous setup made 1554 hp (1142 kW) and 1761 Nm (1298 lb-ft) of torque on Sunoco E90 EVO fuel. Vidar recently took the refreshed E30 coupe to Nürburgring to race the Nordschleife (North Loop).
