to be completely honest, i thought this was an actual P60B40 motor GTR, then when the hood was lifted it was just the S54 with a SC and SGB, i wish i could hear that V8 sound the E46 GTR had in the 2001 - 2005 ALMS racing season. One of the best if not the BEST motor ever build for the E46 platform.
"Nah, just a no."? You are awfully cocky in your wrong answer there bud. People like you kill me. You must have not researched in the least bit, or just don't understand the FIA rules behind road car racing. The only reason we have the M3 GTR road car is because BMW was forced to produce them to even race in the 2001 series. In the 2000 season, there were 13 races, 12 of which were won by Porsche. One was won by the inline-6 e46 m3 "gtr". For the 2001 season they realized they needed a monster of a powerplant. So came along the GTR variant of the M3, which initially was BMW's homologated racing car. Same as the 911's. Here's a article explaining it. www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a15135975/bmw-m3-gtr-specialty-file/
No freaking way that red NSX (3:30) is in this video. I was watching a in board video of that car racing an Imola. VERY NEXT VIDEO its there getting passed by this BMW. Crazy. Small world
Allentino Oh, right. I had forgotten the quotes. That E46 was a very good rhythm on the track, pity that he has not seen that beast on the track again. Although there are engine swaps
to be fair, there have been both earlier and later versions of the e46 m3 gtr with an inline six, although this is most likely noy the original P54 racing engine (even more so since it's supercharged)
It's a bit misleading and confusing... The transmission you see in this video is a true sequential gearbox like you would find on a fully-manual motorcycle transmission. You can't skip gears, and it's fully manual. BMW SMG transmission is really just an automated manual, NOT sequential. That is, it's a regular H-pattern manual transmission, but just with electronic shifting and an automated clutch. SMG is an automated H-pattern manual transmission, not a true sequential. Also, with the SMG2 automated manual, you can skip gears. With a true motorcycle-style sequential gearbox, you have to shift in order, hence a sequence. The SMG tranny can be converted back to a regular three-pedal H-pattern manual if you remove the electronic and hydraulic actuators which control the clutch and add a third mechanical clutch linkage shaft directly in the floorboard assembly. You can also add stick-shift gates, so you can move the H-pattern shifter, manually. Just replace the electrohydraulic unit with a manual unit. And no, the M3 in the video is NOT a DCT. It's WAY faster than DCT, too. DCT is just a fancy type of automatic transmission. The E46 M3 in the video has a true fully-manual Sequential manual gearbox, three-pedal w/clutch + shifter. And let's get this straight... SMG is not sequential, it's a regular H-pattern manual with an automated clutch and electrohydraulic actuation. Also, DCT is not a sequential transmission, it's a type of automatic transmission, which uses two concentric clutch shafts for odd and even gears, in place of a torque converter.
it's kinda obvious that whoever does a "gtr" build does not buy an actual $300,000 racecar, as for the v8 there are versions of it with the p54 inline 6
ESS Supercharger kit which uses a Vortech V3 sci charger gives about 570hp to the e46 M3 S54 platform. See link for details -- esstuning.com/e46-m3-vt2-575-supercharger-system-gen-3/
love how people mistake this for the "GTR" yes though the original Le Mans Race Cars did have an I6 and they were referred to as "GT" or "GT2" meanwhile the V8 ones are called "GTR" this one ain't a GTR. i wanna see if i can spot some dumb people in the replies who says the street M3 GTRs have an I6, like buddy did you even look at some Google images with the St. GTR's hood open? those cars had a de-tuned P60B40 V8 which had around 380 bhp (race version 444 bhp. Full potential 600-700+ bhp). yes i did some research.
Love all the mechanical noises there
That straight six with the straight cut gears is just ear porn
Gtr does not have straight six, its a v8.

GAMER for LIFE or just supercharge the S54 that comes in the m3...? The car in the video doesn’t have the M3 GTR engine 😂 just an expensive gearbox.
Yeah if you ever forget something just hop in the M34 and you'll be there in 2 min

its better than nothing

“Is this a M3 GTR?”
Well yes, but actually no.
Nah, just a no, different engine entirely. Not even same category. Stock E46 is I6 GTR is V8. (Dont whoosh my ass I understand its a joke.)
@@ahrkens The original gtr had an i6 but was losing so they got the p60b40 v8
Original M3 GTR powertrain is 6 cylinder, this guy is just going back to the basics

Really nice sounding car
Not gonna lie, this car sound like its fast AF.

BMW Power!!! 💪💪👌👍
Beautifull build!
Can you please let me know what wheel specs are these?
Are there more videos of this beast?
goooood video ! :) goood bmw
Now this...
😍
Nice sound engine.
0:52 that should be your pc/ps5/xbox start up sound
Bella macchina e bel video
Have u used the original 4.0l v8 bmw engine?
Very nice video, but I have a doubt, why "GTR" if that does not have the V8 P60B40 of 4 liters?
That's why its in quotations "GTR"
Also because the bodykit and purpose, heritage ?

Was zischt da immer beim herunterschalten?
Is this the SMG2? This sounds a lot faster than my upgraded csl shifting gearbox. This seems like a dct
It’s an aftermarket sequential

wow
Omg that turbo's sounds soo amazing😍😍
I love that noise
No turbo just a sequential gear box and a pro charger
Supercharged is not a turbo
Ec
SUPERCHARGED BUT IT DOES SOUND LIKE TURBO I was tricked too lol
From my understanding the gearbox is what give it that whining sound. Even though this is not the m3 gtr everybody loves.
Dont use s54,use s65 with flatplane if you want gtr version+straight cut gear
Nice. Radiator specs?
Ciao morning to all
What type of shifter is he using?
Put the v8 supercharger straight cut gear and change to right exit exhaust will be the actual gtr
Sick but no p60b40.. :/
Nobody got it except the grant touring teams. Besides, there wouldn't be a point having a naturally aspirated engine in a time attack car.
Bmw m3 gtr super hyro edition
I think later I'm gonna have to change my underwear
0:15 yo, that hood is light asf
Why does it say GTR in the title if it doesn't have a V8?
Exactly wtf everyone does this shit, disappointing
The GTR is in quotes, meaning it's a GTR style build while unfortunately not a real GTR. He's not trying to mislead anyone...
it's kinda obvious that whoever does a "gtr" build does not buy an actual $300,000 racecar, as for the v8 there are versions of it with the p54 inline 6
Gtr is not about v8 engine but setup for touring mode
track?
Old ladies corner faster than this driver on the street
Specs??
Whats?.. 6 cil?, no v8?
How many hp?
ESS Supercharger kit which uses a Vortech V3 sci charger gives about 570hp to the e46 M3 S54 platform. See link for details -- esstuning.com/e46-m3-vt2-575-supercharger-system-gen-3/
Damn
How much HP does this car make?
Around 600HP
I keep wondering why the drivers of these crazy cars are not always greatly skilled (hand position, lines, shifting)?
love how people mistake this for the "GTR" yes though the original Le Mans Race Cars did have an I6 and they were referred to as "GT" or "GT2" meanwhile the V8 ones are called "GTR"

Odd seeing him shuffle steer vs 9 and 3.
Why does the car sound like that (inside)
CalCarti 32 because of the flat (racing) transmission (the high winding noice you hear)
Is that not turbo's??
daddy scott no lol...
CalCarti 32 you should take a listen to the Mercedes CLK GTR
th-cam.com/video/It3_k-G-Ev0/w-d-xo.html
Here take a listen. That is the flat transmission.
If only it was street legal
Good? But not a GTR if there's no V8.
Just a replica, I guess..
Sound like m3 gtr nfsmw 2012
BMW i8 forever...
Pretty sure the E46 “GTR” had a flat head 8 cylinder engine, this car is not a GTR.
Not a true GTR if it doesn't have a V8..... at least LS swap it.
