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

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.

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:
