While there Bailey was the fastest overall with a lap of 1:35.812. Bailey&#8217;s amazing E36 is built by Riley Stair at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/riley_rsmotorsport\/\">RS Motorsports<\/a> with a composite clamshell front and extreme aero. It is powered by a turbocharged 2.0 L B48 inline-four swapped by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/strommotorsports\/\">Strom Motorsports<\/a>. The motor produces 550 hp (404 kW) to the wheels thanks to a Garrett G25-700 turbocharger and E70 fuel. The drivetrain uses a GS6-37D manual transmission from an Euro E46 diesel and E36 rear end with a RacingDiffs limited-slip differential and 3.73 ratio. The lightweight coupe (2300 lb) rides on Motion Control 3-way adjustable coilovers and Apex VS-5RS 18&#215;11-inch wheels with Hoosier Track Attack Pro 315\/30 tires.
