The E92 M3 GT4 reminds us how good natural aspiration sounds

Remember the S65 engine was the basis for the Z4 GT3 / GTLM and many other great sounding race cars

BMW Z4 GT3 PURE SOUND - Accelerations, Backfires & More!!

Turbos make all the difference. My E92 M3 was supercharged, my F80 M3 is quicker than that car was with just an ECU reflash. You can’t easily turbocharge a stock DME S65 so you can make the E92 very quick but it’s going to cost you a lot more money to do it.

I miss my E92 M3 a lot, overall I liked it more than my current F80 M3 but in terms of tuning and acceleration, F80 wins.

A sad day, 2.october 2013, the day the last NA M car from BMW ever produced.

The most beautiful sound on this planet

Is that even a GT4?

redrumm3 · 12-23-2018, 09:07 PM

Great cars, proud to own one.

Could be, with some bits deleted or changed to make it street legal. (Mirrors, canard flicks, etc).

I get the nostalgia and enthusiasm, I’ve owned an E90 M3 for six years. But it was time to move on, and there is a manic intensity to the F80 when I rag it for all it’s worth that was just absent from the E90. IMO of course.

MasterP · 12-26-2018, 11:25 PM

I enjoy tracking my E92 more than tracking my F80. I think it's more balanced. The power delivery worked better with the chassis and how traction builds up. You can be more aggressive and get on the throttle earlier. The F80's more point and shoot.

Typical Audi d-bag driver holding everybody up thinking they own the place. Poor guy in that clearly faster Merc just couldn't get by, even with his signal on

E92 M3 the best sound ever

m3jala · 01-12-2019, 09:55 PM

M6 GT3 is the hot stuff in the next generation in my opinion. And what do you know, it's a v8. I'll order me one of those when I win the next lottery.

Checkcaptain · 01-13-2019, 11:31 AM

Some of you guys are right.
I know the owner of this car.
It's an OEM GT4, but it's stroked, NA and has a sequential gear box.
