Bumping this because I finally found the "proof" I was looking for, from BMW themselves.
The P65 in the M3 GT2 is indeed based on the S65 but with a modified crank (flat-plane). Tom Plucinsky of BMW North America makes it very clear in this walkaround. Added a M3 GT[2] section in the original post: Quote:

My readings and research have not indicated that it is any more "high revving" than its cross-plane counterparts in the Z4 GTE/GT3/GTLM. So my educated guess is the faster revving character (which Tom Plucinsky of BMW mentions briefly in the video as well). Sorry I can't tell you more, I'll continue updating this thread as I learn more information.

Happy Friday.
Updated thread with a unique race car currently attacking hill climbs in Europe. This E90 began life as an FIA spec'd race car built for WTCC racing. But somewhere along the line, it got an S65 transplant and went into Hill Climb. It rides on the WTCC front and rear suspension with stabilizer, KW 3-way adjustable coilovers, and stops with ceramic brakes. Power, of course, comes from the S65B40, built to 540 HP / 9,500RPM and sent through a Drenth Motorsport DG500 6-speed sequential gearbox. Enjoy. Quote:

This is all time one of the best threads on the forum.
There are plenty of current race cars which currently use E92 M3 chassis but do not use the S65. Kristaps Bluss' E92 Eurofighter Formula Drift build and Jake "DriftSquid" Jones' RB powered E92 M3 come to mind. |
