Achtung: Schnell! ///M3 E92 Tracktool Build

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Ok guys - now it´s time for my M3 E92 to start it´s second life. No - not in a virtual reality cyberspace thing - but as a hardcore Tracktool. Welcome to the documentary online sovial cyber media thread or however you´d like to call it.

You can also follow the build progress on the project website:

But let´s start from the beginning. Many of you might´ve already seen some of my Youtube videos I post here from time to time.

In summer 2011 I switched from a Z4 2.5si (which was awesome fun to drive but lacking at some point some more power) to a white 2010 M3 E92 with almost every option you can think of - even a sunroof

- but no DVD (this might be the only "no tick in the box".

2009: Tour through the swiss and italian Alps. Awesome fun.

Here is the bad boy how I found him:

I then installed some H&R springs and immediately went to a race track and destroyed a set of tires in the best possible way I could think of:

I had some great days at Spa-Francorchamps, Hockenheimring and of course the Nürburgring. And I did a moutain tour through the Alps again.

It then was time to install some proper seats:

Oh - did I mention the KW Clubsport which replaced the OEM EDC springs? Well, it was an awesome enhancement for the car. Followed by a square setup with 265/35 R18 Michelin Cups the performance increased significantly.

Time to upload videos to Youtube and create my own channel. Check it out - it´s mind blowing!

Trackday fun:

Spa-Francorchamps, what a great track:

Installed track pipes and reprogrammed the ECU. Now the car produces 450 bhp (instead of OEM 420) and torque got a better punch too. Together with my already modified muffler the car noise was ... like an inferno. Anyone been to a NASCAR race? That´s how the noise of my M3 was like... I switched back to a OEM muffler this year because of noise limitations at race tracks...

...and then there was that moment I don´t need again...

Good times at the "Ring"

...my girlfriend likes it too:

By the way: on the Autobahn on my way home I enjoyed the emptiness at night and let the beast do a VMax run.

GPS measured with an external 5Hz bluetooth GPS mouse. So the data is accurate!

304 km/h is about 190mph and that wasn´t the fastest the car could do. Not tooooo bad.

TomElektro · 12-16-2014, 04:44 AM

So now it´s time for the proper track build. First some parts are needed:

10" Apex wheels for 285/30 R18 square setup with Michelin Cups.

Carbon fibre roof.

No pictures yet but also ordered for the track build:

GT4 Splitter
Flaps
GTR hood
GT4 rear wing
CSL style trunk
Macrolon windows
and some other parts.

TomElektro · 12-16-2014, 04:48 AM

Ok, let´s get startet with stripping the car. Very important: the right tools (beer)!

...no more luxury anymore. Everything must go out!

Way better:

I´m still having fun (even though it´s freezing cold).

TomElektro · 12-16-2014, 04:50 AM

TomElektro · 12-16-2014, 04:51 AM

DONE!!!

Next step is to strip the unneeded cables, install the carbon fibre roof and and and...

Stay tuned!
