The clutch and H-pattern shifter are part of the spectacle. In That Racing Channel's "60-130mph in 1.4s!? 🤯", cockpit footage sits beside two men checking a phone, where the acceleration result gives them something to repeat: 1.49 seconds.

The on-screen specification identifies a BMW M3 with a Toyota 2JZ engine, a cross-brand combination with very little interest in factory originality. Exterior footage and an engine-bay view join the cockpit shot, making this more than a stopwatch reveal. It is also a promotional showcase for the channel's own racing telemetry app.

That Short drew the largest audience of the week's two uploads and currently carries the most daily momentum. The other arrival, "We Go 9s In Our NEW G87 M2 X-Drive 🏁", keeps the focus on BMWs, this time with the channel's own all-wheel-drive project.

There's more room for the spanners in the earlier "2027 BMW M2 xDrive Build Begins! (FIRST INTO THE 9s)". Now past 87,000 views, it follows the car to MTech Performance for an upgrade breakdown with Moose, installation work, before-and-after dyno sessions and quarter-mile testing. It remains the busiest of the highlighted older uploads.

The broader week was steadier than those acceleration screens: subscribers were unchanged, and daily views sit slightly below the usual pace. Nearby motoring channels had larger weekly view gains, with Dave's Auto Center enjoying a particularly busy week. For That Racing Channel, the freshest viewing is concentrated on these two very different routes to a fast BMW.
