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

BMW e46 M3 S54b32 stroker 3.4

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:

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

Strange timing.

Guess what car I've been playing with today.

Maclaren Built 320STW, lovely car, only a few in this country so I may know that one !

[_Nathan_]

Close, is an ex alms PTG e46 that also had the maclaren suspension. One side wasn't assembled so got to see it all apart, it is very, very trick isn't it!

Very similar to the old STW setup, McLaren 320stw cars are a bit confusing to work on specially the rocker arm rear suspension hence teams preferring the Schnitzer setup

Didn't look at rear end underneath, will take a look next time I'm with the car.

Hi,

Looks like a De-vansoed S62 Engine ?

BMW took all the P60 B40 engines home
with them very hard if not impossible
for a Privateer to obtain, and then
your totally screwed for spares.

There is a genuine 320 ST for sale at the
moment, which is still to full works specs,
as some were robbed of the Rear
set up for privateers to use on E46 GTR's.

Its very hard to set it up correctly, but once
you hit the sweet spot its something else.

Your spot one there Danny, once set up there is nothing else like it :-D, that is a cheap car, I have put a guy onto this one already,

[_Nathan_]

Correct Danny, it is indeed an S62.

Hi,

Yes, its amazing how that 320 ST has not been
snapped up given what some things have
changed hands for in that Market
at present.

Bit of Topic but from the days when
money did not matter in Touring Cars.

The Opel is surreal with its XTRac 4x4 system which was
only origially Leased to Opel, and its 2.5 v6 Cosworth KF
engine is just something else.

Its always strange seeing the Alfa engine so far forward,
but they had a rear Transaxle Gearbox etc to restore the
Weight ratio back to around 48/52 split.

Love all that stuff, even UK supertourers are cool.

Mondeos with the 2L v6 - engine is so low that one of the drive shafts passes through the middle of the V on the way to the wheel, details like wiper motors on the floor with hollow carbon rods connecting to the wipers to lower COG, the attention to detail was amazing.
