looks like the aftermarket for the m3 is finally waking up.

 

+20k miles=death haha, those motors, I dunno....

Scorke

 

haha we'll see

 

I'm not getting excited about this until they show me a road-going example with at least 10k miles on the set up. The idea of trying to put down that kinda power without running way wider rubber out back is a joke. If I were selling that kit, I would feel compelled to supply a widebody kit and chassis reinforcement free of charge

 

If you like beemers check this buildup out.

10's or busted!!AA Stage III FTL!!

 

The HPF M3 Turbo numbers and curves look pretty sweet....@4k RPM you have more than 300 ftlbs torque and it climbs to over 400 ft lbs and ends at 377 ft lbs @ 8K rpms.....The effective torque curve looks pretty awesome to me compared to the big turbo'd evos (just my opinion)....As for the engine holding up -- time will tell but I suspect we will see a lot more of these designs...

 

i wonder how much it costs to go fully forged on those motors. can you even buy rods/pistons off the shelf for them or is it all "custom"?

 

You can buy rods and such from companies that build race motors. VAC Motorsports comes to mind.

 

Turner Motorsport! Bavarian MotorSport Wiesco makes Custom Postons For them.... an i believe Manely makes rods....

 

Nice! I think that was the m3 on on of the lifts when i got dyno tuned by JEstr @ TorqueFreaks, wish got to take a closer look!

 

If you want to see high hp Bimmers then check out these guys they've got the fastest sreet legal BMW in North America (prolly the world too) more than 1,000 rwhp

 

Nicely done. I saw that car on the lift during the NW's custom tune session with Jestr and was told of what would be going on the car. Glad to see they got it done pretty quickly.

 

lol. Then i guess you wouldn't be making much money of your kit now would you! lol

 

clearly not haha

turbo + e46 = too much damn work

ps my 330 is for sale if anyone is interested lol
