Michael Essa's BMW Build: Part 5

The final installment in the build series. The BMW 350R is complete and gets debuted at the NItto Tires team press release. The crowd went nuts as Michael drove the 350R into the bays at UTI in Rancho Cucamonga. It's been a long process, but it's all worth it when the car does its thing on the track. With lots of testing and tuning left to go throughout it's first season, only time will tell how the car will perform. But as Michael said, "It feels really good right out of the box." Best of luck to Michael and the GSR Autosport team as they fight for the 2010 Formula Drift Championship! I'm proud to have The Mob Theory logo displayed prominently on the 350R and keep your eyes peeled for updates on Michael's 2010 drift season!
