If you have a spare bit of cash and are looking for a serious E46 race car this could be worthy of consideration:

Isn't this The Matt guy of Cutters, his mates car?

Or is it Dan Stringfellow, or are they the same?

[_Nathan_]

It's Dan Stringfellows car. Can't see it being eligable for that much now supercharged?

Matt Seldon has a S62 powered GTR Shim, nice car.

As Nathan says, what championship can you run something like this. It is so modified that you end up as an invitation entry or an open race, and then you are so fast I comparison to everyone else that you just disappear into the lead and that's it, may as well be on a trackday because that ain't racing.

If there was a one make series for standard e46 M3 using standard engine, box and final drive and a sensibly priced control suspension - I'd be in it.

Thorneys CsL cup was like that but it hit the recession head on.

He ended up concentrating on the modified cars to the detriment to the standard cars prob with the thoughts of aftermarket parts in mind, and the standard died and then also did the series.

Like you I think E46M3 standard class would be a great leveller as engine mods are so hard.

CSL caged (or M3 with CSL body panels, and carbon airbox and CSL cams)
No engine mods
Intrax/Nitron/KW Suspension
Cups/R888 etc (18" or 19")
Oil and diff coolers
Cat back Exhausts (open)
1300kg min

It looks like I may have posted something worthy looking at ?

Perhaps were talking a modern equivalent to:

with slightly less of the theatricals! Back in the day, pre 'M' era where it all began!

I think this has legs, but just use big standard m3- no one wants to crash their Csl front bumper every weekend? And surely the shitty 343 bhp engine I have is more reliable than your high strung expensive ones??
