Sim Racing Rig Build – Fanatec BMW M4 GT3 Wheel Setup ($3,500)

After years of dreaming about it, I finally built my own home sim racing setup—and the star of the show is the Fanatec Podium BMW M4 GT3 Steering Wheel. This is the same wheel used in real BMW GT3 race cars, and now it’s the centerpiece of my man-cave rig.

In this video, I walk you through:
• Why I decided to build a sim racing rig (and how BMW eSports got me hooked back in 2019 at BMW Welt in Munich)
• The compact but sturdy Playseat Trophy rig and why it’s the perfect balance of performance and practicality
• My full Fanatec setup, including the Clubsport DD wheelbase (12Nm), CSL Pedals with Load Cell Kit, and the incredible BMW M4 GT3 steering wheel
• Setup tips, installation lessons, and cost breakdown (~$3,500)
• My first laps in Assetto Corsa Competizione and what it feels like to finally race at home

This build isn’t just about fun—it’s also a way to practice real tracks, improve driving skills, and of course, enjoy the thrill of racing without leaving the garage.
