I have no stake in this discussion - don't really care one way or another, since I won't own even a street E92 M3, let alone a race car. And my car is already way past the 92ft-lb/L mark, stock. Plus, I'm off for a skiing vacation to Austria, so if I'll remember I'll pick the research up when I return. |

from a brief search it seems like ALMS GT2 class cars have between 450-500hp so maybe there's a lot more power left on the table for this engine but due to class restraints they aren't tapping into it...instead they probably tuned this car more for peak torque. maybe i'm just used to examples like the Group A E30 M3 with their 2.5L S14 having something like 330hp, or in today's standards the porsche GT3 ALMS (same class as the M3 - GT2) pushing out over 485hp out of a 3.6L engine. the list goes on from there...THOSE are high strung race engines! it just seems like the P65 engine should hold 485hp just fine without regular rebuilds, which is why i am curious as to exactly what is different between this 'race motor' and the street version. the E46 M3 owners were all about having everything on their cars 'CSL-afied', the E93 M3 owners might go after 'GTR-afying' their cars...sans rollcage and other obvious non-practical mods.

Either you are being sarcastic to which my reply is that there is a bit of truth in every sarcasm and this is consistent with you M3 dogging and 335i promotion. If you are being serious then you are being plain idiotic. Like a track ready street car can not be upgraded in a near infinite variety of ways and stages with varying degrees of race-ready.

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but what are all these buttons on the steering wheel for? Very eager to learn about the racing cockpit.

Hmm, I guess the first step in making a race-ready 335i would probably be to put the M3 engine in then. |

Also, might be a dumb question, but is David Letterman who is the other investor with Rahal Letterman Racing?

Yep sdiver, I see you figured it out - I never once claimed the 335i had a V6 did I.
I'm sure you'll eventually find a way to really zing me good tho. Keep working on it. |

BMW is there to win, not show. This is just one thing that's sometimes different from your typical 335i buyer, an keen interest in actual motorsports. I visit E90 post on occasion, I think there's a huge debate regarding halo bulb color and roof spoilers your missing out on. Strange, the suspension and track forum always seems to be quiet in comparison. |
