Its all hypothetical until someone measures something, and that's the tricky bit.

One of my friends is trying to design a wheel that does the opposite actually (not for the M3) since you don't want air flowing in to the underside of the car from the sides.
We are looking into ways of constructing an accurate mesh for the surfaces of the E92 M3 that affect flow. If anyone knows of such a representation, please let me know. We are planning to run a detailed CFD analysis, and perhaps redesign the front end to introduce downforce and brake cooling. The person I am collaborating with has done this kind of analysis for NASCAR teams, and thinks positive outcomes can be acheived.
