Trinity Autosport built an E92 M3 with a full cage and aero to 2850lbs.
Racewerkz Engineering had an E92 M3 with full cage that was getting into that 2800 range. There were titanium bits all over it, so many parts were replaced with super light stuff, dry sump oil system.
Jordan Yost built an E92 M3 for endurance racing. IIRC I think it was under 2900lbs.
Forum dude FrostyAZ built a BEAUTIFUL build with over 400 labor hours in it. Car was around 2900 lbs.
As far as what we have to look forward to in our community:
-redpriest looks set to make a large commitment into his E92. Really eager to see how that turns out.
-Obviously, roastbeef is in the midst of a wild project, but if he doesn't do a cage, it's sort of hard to compare weight because all the other builds have cages which is at least a 120lbs penalty.
-The person who is hyper committed to this platform who always has something exciting going on is OG Shark. Always eager to see what he and his shop have been cooking up.
Years ago, I saw an E92 M3 European built race car for sale. I don't know what the heck was going with that build, but they listed the weight of the car in kg and when I converted it to pounds, it was so light, I didn't believe it. Figured it had to be a mistake. It was like high-2400s. I couldn't understand what on earth could have been done to that car for it to be listed at that weight......I just chalked it up to being an error.......buuuuuut then you see stuff like this, listed at 2535 lbs and you wonder......M3 Race Version |
