What does get really interesting is that
if you used a M52 engine,6 Pot Alloy Block,
so 40kgs less weight up front,
so much better handling and turn in, then
by converting it to S50 B30 M3 SPEC, as a Racer
in the States has, he is getting
304 BHP at the wheels, not Crank,
which at 155 kgs engine weight in
an E36 Shell would handle very well.

Hi Gorilla,

I have the M52B28TU engine in my Z3 coupe (indeed the block is aluminium).
Do you reckon I could fit the S50B32 cylinderhead and throttle butterflies ?

Hi,

AlexK- If you go to E46 Fanatics, that is where
the Chap with the M52 Engine did all the
work etc for his Race Car.

Really long thread, all detailed of what he did.

I did post in your Pics thread about some simple
mods you could do to gain more power.

Regards,

The Gorilla.

Lol. My first option is VAC. Waiting for the quote then will plan for it after I get married.

[BMW M3 VLN]

If you use the VAC stroker kit that is based off of the ALMS M3 PTG race car mod you will want to go with the BMW AG Motorsport cams 316 and I wanna say 304? When you do the big cams you need to delete the vanos system. It gets in the way of the larger cams. Also the factory race cars didnt have a mass air sensor, they did use a carbon intake similar to the CSL just no giant flap to worry about before hitting that side ways filter. Also BMW AG Motorsport offers a less resteictive filter for shorter events. Incoming Air was monitored by the stand alone EMS by Motec. I have some spares of the larger cams from BMW AG Motorsport division if anyones interested?

The very first E46 M3 GT race car in the ALMS made its appearance in 2000. It was a wide body GTR powered by the S50b32 that Thomas Milner owner of PTG had stroked out to a 3.4 liter. Then came the prototype P60b40 in 2001 and the inline six dressed the same as the V8s racing right along side oneanother but the obvious difference showed in the performance. Later in 2004 came the P54b32 race engines producing 420HP FROM 3.2 LITERS. BMW. AG Motorsport offered an evolution kit to the P54b32 bumping horse power to 437 while still remaining at 3.2 liters.

Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials Ejaz, however I'd get the planning sorted now, before you have a wife in tow.
Foot loose and fancy free you may be, but it sounds like that's about to come to an abrupt end, never underestimate the female of the species, they have ruined many a good plan!

Hahaha. Yeah i know what your saying BUT i feel like i should just put some cams in and do a head flow job and retune and that'll be it.

I want to get a new Daily use project car and with my MK5 R32 having constant Gearbox failures is getting very very annoying. I'll probably sell the R32 and wait it out for an E90 M3 09+ or an mk7 R
