Meet Tyler Napolitano! 🔥

Better known to some as Tynap. He’s the Quality Engineer for the R&D team at ECS Tuning, where he works hand-in-hand with design engineers and suppliers to ensure every product is something to be proud of. Tyler’s also the guy who dives in to solve any quality issues that pop up, making sure ECS stands behind its products 100%.

Tyler’s love for cars started young, with games like Need for Speed Underground and Midnight Club LA sparking his enthusiasm. Inspired by the early 2010s stance scene and the clean, minimalist style of old H2Oi after movies, his taste has always leaned toward timeless and understated design.

In high school and college, Tyler got hands-on experience working at BMW, Volkswagen, and Mercedes-Benz. Those years deepened his passion for European cars, and BMW eventually won his heart. This summer, he made his dream a reality by picking up his first Euro car—a 1996 BMW 328i Convertible.

The E36 was a natural choice: it’s stylish, practical, and powered by the legendary M52 engine. Tyler restored BBS RC090 wheels (“Style 5s”) and added coilovers but focused most of his energy on reliability. Recent upgrades include Turner brake lines, a cooling system rebuild, and fresh control arms. The payoff? A flawless drive from Ohio to Gatlinburg for Slammedenuff, where the car shined on the road and off.

Next on the list for the E36 is an air ride setup, then plenty of carefree cruising. It’s a perfect addition to Tyler’s current lineup, which includes a 2013 Tangerine WRX and a 2015 Final Edition Evo—though the WRX might soon be swapped for another BMW.

Tyler’s approach to life is simple: find something you’re passionate about and chase it until it’s part of your every day. His journey is proof of the joy and fulfillment that come from following what you love.

So what do you think of his car? Let us know down below!
