Is this it? E92 M3 BTG 7:05 Onboard on the Nordschleife? #GoLukeGo
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Did I hit the deadline of what's possible with a e92 M3 6speed manual running on street legal tires with a stock engine? Really looking forward to see when the F8x's will come close. Up to now many nice builds are driving around but none of the cars is really fast. Done and recorded and data logged - BTG - Bridge to Gantry of 7:05min On slicks as well as with a 4.4 or 4.6l stroker for sure even more is possible. But as the BTG time is always a comparison for street legal cars driving during Touristenfahrten or Trackdays we keep using it to have comparable numbers. For those who are interested: BTG 7:05min is ~7:29min Full lap and ~7:25min Sport Auto Supertest Time Enough blabla for now. Set it to full HD - crank up the volume - get a beer - lay back and enjoy! and feel free to post comments, critics, questions or whatever you wanna say direct link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoT6EBv1blc Modifications list: It was a stock e92 M3 back in the days before we startet... Welded roll-cage Hood and trunk are fiberglass Doors are Carbon Windows are Macrolon - front windshield is a heated glas Dashboard is carbon AC and the stock ventilation system removed Seats are Recaros with Schroth belts Single Mass flywheel with Tilton clutch 4.10 diff with upgraded diff locker and active cooling Uniball suspension parts GT4 lip and flaps and big GT4 MKII wing small 22Ah battery Akraprovic Exhaust Macht Schnell Pulleys and Air Filter CAE Shifter KW 3-way Competition Engine internals and gearbox is stock Stock Water and Oil cooler GT4 power steering cooler AP 6piston 25mm brake front - stop tech 4piston rear. PFC01 all around read more about this lap and the car on BridgeToGantry.com: http://demo.bridgetogantry.com/video...tick-shift-m3/ # Luke

Bravo! Nice work! Also agree with you, they should some standards on what times mean. X car can go faster than Y car, but X car is fully prepped for the track. Numbers become meaningless in that regard. Anyways congrats again!

Very impressive driving. It's funny because I've logged hundreds of hours lapping the Nurburgring in my sim (Assetto Corsa) and while it's nowhere like actually being there, I know every corner like the back of my hand and almost every bump on the road so I can get a good sense of how well you are driving there. Hope to make it out there someday.

You are seriously a beast behind the wheel my friend. Thanks for sharing
It's hard to see, what type of data is your iPhone displaying? Also, what are your tire specs? (you mentioned street tires) Quote:

And as I'm racing 8-10 times a year the chance of loosing a mirror because of touching another car is given we thought. Let's just steal a set of e36 M3 mirrors on eBay for a friction of the price. But to be honest: The idea of using e36 mirrors comes from the e92 M3 BMW GT4 where they use them, too.

Congrats...saw Team Schirmer break the 7:00 min BTG mark, but that was with 500+ bhp. Awesome driving and build! I think people really fail to realize that just with a few mods (even far short of yours) to bring the car up to 2015 standards the E90 platform can be lethal on the track. I see it all the time what upgrades wheels, breaks, tires, and suspension can do with no power mods. Wish the S65 II had been realized but we all know the constraints BMW and other Euro manufacturers are facing. No doubt the F80 is super quick, but in my experience in tracking with them, I think the sheer dimensions of it is hampering the car in tight turns vs the E90, at least in amateur hands.

Pretty amazing app. Car stats like temperatures, fuel level, ... is connected via a PLX Kiwi device (ODB-WLAN) And the GPS data comes from a 10Ghz XGPS 160 receiver (bluetooth) which is way more accurate than build in GPS of iPhones (do have only 1GHz) Tire specs: TrofeoR. Front 10x18 with 265/35-18, rear 11x18 with 295/30-18

Lukester, your time is super impressive and it's been fun seeing your car evolve into more of a track rig as time has passed. I'm curious what you could pull out of a 100% bone stock 2013 M3 coupe with either transmission. Would you be up in the 8 minute range? I thought the official lap time for a stock E92 M3 was 8:10. I'm trying to figure out if your car is quicker than a more powerful Schirmer build of if you're just that good of a driver. |
