3D Printed oil cooler without $30k software? Mistakes were made - Building a 13B Rotary BMW i8: EP15
Couch Built
@couchbuiltAbout
Building cars, mostly from the couch, with use of 3D scanning, Fusion360, and some bloody knuckles sprinkled in. Currently building a 2016 BMW i8 with a 13B-REW mated to a VAG 7 speed DQ500 DSG while retaining full hybrid functionality...or at least that's the plan. Follow along as I overcomplicate a complicated BMW and nerd out on making it all work together.
