Primate - have you seen how low and far back you can get an s65 in the e46 shell? If not I will email you a pic, think you'll approve...

interesting write up.:thumbs::thumbs:

If you could get the s65 in a Csl without effecting the dynamics then it would be an absolute animal on track.

It would effect the dynamics, they'd be better :D

A good friend of mine has a quite RARE E39 "Nowack" N 500 conversion M5 :thumbs: pushing an extra 100 BHP over stock 400 BHP S65 :supz:

Good one.
Didn't know the S54 was so suitable for supercharging.

Hi,

Nathan- yes please on the Pics.

Front Bank of cylinders should
just be a little forward of the
strut towers.

S54 has about 2, so weight saving over
the front axle is a lot.

I had some pics of the ALMS Schnitzer
cars, just built prior to being
sent to the States/ PTG.
But can not seem find them on my old Lap top.

To this day I believe the E46 GTR was
a very clever Trick Car / Shell.

All the genuine E46 GTR shells were
brought back by Schnitzer, only the
S54 engined shells were left behind !!!!

Lawsy- I keep looking and measuring.

Just trying to find a way so that it can all
be slid in and out very quickly !!!!

Reason is that V8, is engine out to do most things.

I did try and locate either a Mader or
a P60 [same engine] as both are flat plane
cranks, not quite as available as a S65, and
then you have the major component issues.

The Gorilla.

E39 is S62 :blalalala:
D'oh ... well spotted :clown: THANX Nathan ;) :hahaha:
All I'm saying is the S62, 5 liter, V8 in the E39 M5 is yet another great M engine :thumbs: that deserves a mention :smokin:

I don't think the S65 would fit into my Samui Super Scooter :thumbs:

Hi,

I expect many will have already
seen this Car.

I believe its a PTG E46 GTR ''Clone'
as BMW pulled all the original
Schnitzer GTR Cars back when the
row with Porsche errupted over the
ALMS regs in 2002.

The side exhaust across the passanger
foot well is how PTG ran there S54
engined Cars.

Shame its got an S62 engine which
are not exactly known for their
revving capabilities.
