More of that 700bhp scooby with sequential gearbox…Omg if I knew where that cat was I would try to steal it 🤣……I need it in my life…Loving your vids man 👍
The anyone who wonders about the engine : This has the same base engine as the E39 Bmw M5 and Bmw Z8, which has a 90 degree crossplane crankshaft, which gives this rumbling v8 growl. The M3 GTR which everyone knows about, had a 4 liter V8 with a 180 degree flat plane crankshaft, which gives it that famous sound.
im more curious where tranny whine go because that made the 4L V8 crossplane sound even more sexy, now without all that it sounds boring like i want a european touring car to sound european ill get a muscle car for a rumbling v8
03:32, Not an issue if following driver is looking and paying proper attention to the track. Spinning occurred off racing line. If looking at a mobile phone while texting, you could expect a collision..
@@divinehatred6021 "Close Enough" meaning that is in not real gtr title "with S62 4.9 N/A V8 Engine" orginal was 4.0 and sounding much diffrent. So to sum up this one is inferior. Orginal th-cam.com/video/FstXpvGzxZI/w-d-xo.html
Some info about this awesome M3. Built by the legendary PTG BMW racing team it was first raced at the 2001 Daytona 24 and instantly proved to be very fast, Running 3rd overall (First in the GT class) when it retired with an oil leak with 7 hours left in the race. Just like its ALMS brother the legality of the car was questioned but unlike the ALMS the rules allowed the car to be able to race which it did until 2003, scoring 3 wins in 2001 and a single win in 2002.
Never knew there was a grand am version of the E46 M3. Saw the ALMS version on TV and the ones that competed at the Nürburgring live. But this one, what a surprise
@@km6832 No, it wasn't. The S62B50 has a displacement of 5 liters, a crossplane crankshaft and is only found regularly in the M5 E39. The P60B40 has a displacement of 4 liters and a flatplane crankshaft. No similarities between those engines, as the S62 is a derivative of the M62. P60 is a bespoke development. Both sound great in their own right though.
@@theultimatechopstick3613 damn, comprehension is at an all time low in the world. The s62 and m62 were bmws first attempt at a mass produced v8 engine, the s62 was then placed in this e46 gtr. Then the p60 came, you really think bmw would make the p60 which is a bespoke race engine in a configuration they have no experience in, from the ground up and it was as dominant as it was with zero faults or failures? No, but because the s62 is 5 liters with a cross plane crank and the p60 is 4 liters with a flat plane crank that means they share no similarities and the p60 could never be derived from the s62. There is something called destroking, look it up if you dont know what it is. Your argument is like saying because the amg gtr and amg gt black series have different cranks does not mean its not the same base engine. Derived doesnt always mean you pluck one out one car and change a few things and place it in another derived means you use the knowledge and tech from a previous version to make the new version better. Come on man the knowledge is out there. And because its not openly said does not mean anything. For any OEM to make a new race engine in a configuration they never made one in before is next to impossible
The minimal throttle input and loss of traction when initially exiting pit-lane says it all = BEAST! The gear ratios are close together. Seems to run out of breath too quickly in the higher gears, like @ 8:13 when the GT3RS pulls away from it down the straight. Edit : Poor dude 2 cars ahead immediately spun out on the green flag’s release lol.
When I was racing Grand Am Cup in my E36 with Terry Borcheller Jim Bell running the team/engineering I drove this same V8 car in a sprint race at Daytona. It was/is a truly special car and experience.
I'm jealous! I've driven my friend's E39 M5, and I had my E39 540i/6, both were the closest I came to a performance vehicle I've owned. Although I did have 2 E36's, now I'm in an F02 740iL, and it's just so heartless. I miss the old days of BMW being true driver cars.
@MachtNixPasstSo That is not even remotely correct lmfao. You just gonna overlook how legendary this car was during it's time? It destroyed porsche at their own game many many times. That's like saying Eminem did nothing for the rap game.
I like seeing the things you don't normally see being a spectator, like at 2:05 that even on the formation lap the car is willing to break free on you, then again at 2:32 where the Aston Martin wipes themselves out. It gives a whole new level of understanding as to how fickle these cars can be sometimes.
For people who dont know, a m3 gtr is defined by the chassis not the engine or bodykits, there are non widebody m3 gtr race car, and inline 6 m3 gtr which all are legit
@@naforous7651 I know how to change the engine sounds of all cars in that game, the BMW M3 GTR use the files with the following names: "GIN_TVR_Cerbera" and "GIN_TVR_Cerbera_DCL". And in NFS Carbon it's the same case, with the same name and sound.
The names of the files assigned to the M3 in Most Wanted, are from Cerbera, I always look for more realistic sounds in that good game, so I change sounds there
This is not *the* GTR we all know but its a very important car regardless. This is a road engine placed into a car for racing, not the P60 engine that BMW motorsport then made for the e46 in the later years. Both sound amazing though but its NOT the NFSMW E46 we grew up with
If anybody is interested....I have an m5 with an engine built using spare parts from this PTG car, and built by ex PTG engine builder Chris Fletcher. I try to post videos when I can. This particular car has seen some rough days so its good to see it out again!
This was definitely one of my favorite cars at this year's Mugello Classic by Peter Auto. More videos coming soon, stay tuned folks!

engine sound is a one thing but I'd say it's more famous for the straight cut gears sound

Brother, if it is 180 degrees, it is not a "V8" engine anymore, it is a "flat 8"
@@matijapotic1286 The crankshaft is 180 degrees not the block :)
2:30 I was like: "Bro are you ok there?"
That Aston Martin psyched out for a min and him thinking twice about stabbing the throttle through the curves on cold tires lol.
that aston almost took him out on the formation lap
That thing spun like a top! Cold slicks are scary.

This is not the same V8 that was used in the GTR. It was closer to an Indycar engine than the road car engine this engine is based on.

different machine, the og was flatplane crankshaft 4.0l v8, this is not
This isn't the one lol
it's pretty close but not quiet .

I prefer this over the other E46 race car
Nothing like an Aston not even getting thru the formation lap 😂
Gahhhlllyyyy!!!! Need to rethink my dream cars. This is definitely number one on my list.
BMW should only make V8s. This and the S65 (found in the Z4 GT3) are marvelous!
What a good sound it produces. Don't know why it reminds me of the current Craftsman Truck Series engine sound for some odd reason.
What a beautiful little racecar.......looks great and sounds epic.......thanks for posting!
