Fastest BMW N55 In the Country! Here’s How He Built It

Tim Vovk became the first person to take the N55 into the 4s on the 60-130. I sat down with him to see what it took to get it to this point and why he chose the N55 over other more popular platforms. Tim is blazing a new trail for the N55 and I’m excited to see how far he goes!
