[dr_jekyll]

well what a lovely shock i just had and now i have a new shopping list.

 

i was just pootling home in my na when a lovely looking e46 m3 comes up along side me and gives a lttle rev , but i declined and gave hime the point as to say jog on. at said point he droped a gear and i heard the unmistakely sound of SPOOL .

 

then the high pitched scream of bmw rasp and external gate and the thing dissapired , i mean omfg it took off . i nerly did a sex wee. i batterd the na for all it was worth as i had to find out more about this car. but within 10-15 second i couldnt even see or hear him anymore .

 

what a snarling monster. i want!!!

Wow that must be some beast, the E46 M3 alone sounds beautiful (more raspy really).

This one sounds very nice! Though they do sound very much like big single turbo Supra's!

The problem i've always had with FI M3's is how can they reliably handle that much power when their NA engine is designed to make power in an NA application, all the pistons and rods will be slim and lightweight so they can rev to make power and have awesome response, the bottom end cant be anywhere near as strong as a 2jz bottom end. So to make power you'd have to change all that and in essence make it more like a 2jz so why not start with a 2jz. They are well fast though, I just wouldn't like to bet on longevity of engine life.

[dr_jekyll]

if i was going to go down that route as i love the look of the m3 i think id buy a damaged engined car and put a 2j in it. the cars in those vids sound good , but in real life as it pulls away there is a distict exhause or scream should i say that the camra just dosent pick up.

[Stonkin]

They are a very raspy, almost tinny exhaust note as stock. Cheryl's M3 has an aftermarket exhaust from cat back. No idea on the make but is extremely well made and flippin loud. At 2k revs it does boom a bit inside but after that it literally screams. Having a 2j in there wouldnt be the same in some ways, its such a revvy engine and suits the way the car works very well.

 

On the way back from santapod, she said, could this have a turbo fitted and would it go 'der, der, der, der'

The N54 and N55 engines in the E90s are turbo'd.

I think he was talking about the E46 M3's which were all NA.

[Snooze]

Yeah - I assumed as much too - just wanted to point out that BMW do do force-induction straight 6 engines.

 

Although as he says, the M3s have always been NA, I think - even the new E90 ones.

Yep, the new E92 M3 I believe has a 4.0 V8 NA engine, they was thinking about turbo power a bit like what they did with the X6M but that would really be going against the history of the MotorSport developments.

 

The E90 335i which are Twin Turbo like you say must have strengthen engines to cope with the FI.

Lol haha no my girlfriend. She HATES modded cars. She keeps telling me to "higher" my car because its too low. It is lowered by about 100mm.

Educate her. Simples.

 

I'm rather fortunate that my girlfriend is totally awesome. She's not a petrolhead, but she cried when I sold the Supra.

 

So did I

I'm glad you are all finally admitting that German is better than Jap
