The boys set about restoring a BMW 335i estate, fitting it with performance upgrades and styling cues reminiscent of an M3. Their goal is to transform the estate into a car that can match the M3’s capabilities. The ultimate test is a head‑to‑head drag race against a genuine M3.

The episode is a programme that follows a group of lads as they take on a BMW 335i estate, aiming to transform it into something that looks and performs like an M‑series model. Their project forms the backbone of the show, giving viewers a clear focus on what the team hopes to achieve. In the core of the story, the boys set about upgrading the 335i estate, fitting it with the performance upgrades and styling cues you would normally associate with an M3. Their work is driven by the idea of matching the power and appearance of the sportier sibling, turning the estate into a car that could plausibly sit alongside the high‑performance model. Once the modifications are complete, the team lines the car up against a genuine M3 for a straight‑line showdown. The head‑to‑head drag race serves as the decisive test, pitting the newly tuned estate against the benchmark it was designed to emulate. The central question that runs through the episode is whether the boys can get the 335i estate into a condition that allows it to beat a real M3 in that drag‑race duel. Their answer hinges on the success of the build and the performance they manage to extract from the transformed vehicle.
