320 Si

Hi!

Johnny from Sweden here. I have a few bmw's and this is one of my E90's. This is a model that only was sold in Europe. It was produced during one year and in 2600 units for homologation purposes for the World touring car champinship, WTCC. I imported it from Germany with one previous owner, full documentation on service and no repaint anywhere. The engine is unique to this model and handbuilt at BMW motorsport in England. The block is bored and sleeved, special crank with shorter stroke, 11:1 compression, steel rods, speciaslly cast head. The Valvetronic is removed for less moving parts in racing and valvetronic does not like high revs. It has mechanical lifters and cam followers from M3 E46. Cam cover is made in carbon fiber and the engine is 10kg's lighter because of this and Valvetronuic delete. It is also lowered. Brakes are from the 325 and it has BMW /BBS motorsport 18" staggered wheel setup and unique suspension and damper settings.
All these cars were full M sport cars.
In stock form they were producing 173 hp and in race trim around 280 hp at 8500 rpm.
it is the lightest E90 made

Nice car, but the appropriate forum would be on www.e90post.com fyi.

I accept seeing the 320SI here, a friend of mine in poland has a White one.. granted it's a blank (clean white slate) and was already prep to be a WTCC car.

Wow ser ut som en ljuvlig bil Johnny! Självklart posta här också, bry dig inte om grinpellarna...😁

Jag postade lite fel men det går bra:thumbsup:

Thank you so much for sharing this! I probably would have missed this if it was in the e90 forum.

What is the name of the engine? I am assuming it is built off the n45/n46.

Does it share the same WTCC transmission as well?

If you don't mind me asking, how hard was it for you to get this? I would be very interested in one when these get to be 25 years old and I can import it to the US. Is it a competitive market in you experience?
