Miami Engines Makes History at FL2K 2026

Driven by Pawel Kuzma, Owner of Miami Engines | 7.95 Seconds at 175 MPH

Miami Engines has officially made BMW drag racing history at FL2K 2026, achieving a major milestone in the world of BMW performance.

Behind the wheel was Pawel Kuzma, owner of Miami Engines, piloting the Miami Engines-built BMW F-chassis powered by a first-generation B58 engine.

The result? The first F-chassis BMW and first Gen 1 B58 to break into the 7-second quarter-mile range, setting a new benchmark for BMW performance.

Three 7-Second Passes. One Historic Achievement.

Competing in the X58 Shootout at FL2K 2026, Pawel Kuzma delivered three incredible quarter-mile passes:

• 7.95 seconds @ 175 MPH

• 7.98 seconds @ 174 MPH

• 7.99 seconds @ 170 MPH

These results weren't just about achieving one record-breaking pass. Running three consecutive 7-second passes demonstrated the power, engineering, and consistency behind the Miami Engines B58 platform.

What makes this achievement even more significant is that the man behind the wheel is also the man behind the company.

Pawel Kuzma, founder and owner of Miami Engines, has dedicated his work to building high-performance BMW engines capable of competing at the highest levels of motorsport.

From engine machining and precision assembly to developing extreme-horsepower engine combinations, Miami Engines focuses on pushing the limits of BMW performance.

This historic run is a direct reflection of that dedication.
