Summary

Alex Berstein was an auto journalist but now sits behind the lens shooting photos for some of the biggest OEMs in the business. But in his spare time, he builds high-powered BMWs. His current project is a 135i, bought for incredibly little, but packing a lot of good parts. We talk about BMW builds, turbos, track-specific suspension setups, and a lot more. This episode is available as a video! https://youtu.be/lDFW2Nriwh0 IG: @thesmokingtire @fakezackklapman @bernooo
