E46 M3 V10

[msremmert]

The holy grail of fettled M3s.
Even mated it to a manual box. Top marks.

Driftworks old car isn't it?

Great concept but FLOL at £25k...

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

That is quite literally a super car! Love how normal it looks- can only imagine what it sounds/goes like.

Good few hundred KG less than the M5 which is already a 200mph car.

I wondered that. Their car had a cage and all sorts of bits onboard though?

 

[charltjr]

Very cool, but at that price I'd get a good example of the E60 M5 instead and still have a fighting fund left over for repairs. I can definitely see the appeal though!

 

[Budgie]

I think the price is pretty reasonable!

 

[ForceIndia]

Price seems reasonable to me. Love that it looks standard.

Well a 2nd hand V10 M5 engine off ebay is £8k, so £25k isnt so bad when you consider the price of manual e46 M3's these days, plus the associated fabrication to get it all to fitted & working properly in an OEM fashion. Its not the driftworks yo one. This is owned by a chap on PH.

I get that I really do mate , but I look at it as it is, its a 12 year E46 with 93k miles with an engine from a 10+ year old E60. If built by a reputable company like Driftworks with the whole design process mapped and a step by step checklists of the whole process with what was fabricated and how it was achieved and with some form of warranty then fair do's but as you say its been built by a chap on PH. It would be to big a risk at £25k for me personally.

I love the concept of it though.

Saw this on Carthrottle's Instagram recently, I love it.

 

[Sir_Dave]

I know what you mean, but personally, knowing what the chap has built before, id be happy to give him my money 😂

Apparently he's now sourced a V8 Turbo from the latest M5 ...

Same here. Standard M3s sound good enough - that noise from a 3-series must be impressive to see/hear.

Insurance on things like this always interests me.....

"So sir, you're wanting to insure an M3 then? Have you sufficiently lubed-up and got your pants dropped already?"
"Yup."
"Any modifications or non-factory fit accessories?"
"Erm......?"

I'm surprised the M-Division haven't signed him up for development already! The Warsteiner one above just looks, well...... fit? There's no other word for it. Imagine owning something like that AND being able to fund a amateur racing season for it? Brilliant.

Reminds me of this:


S54 IIRC, M5 engine.

Edit: S62.

This E30 is doing the rounds on facebook. Presumably the V8 from the 360/430?

Would be interesting to see what they do with the intake!

Or the bonnet. 😂

 

[Short Norman]

He's on cutters and as said he's done a few other cars all to a very high standard. I'd love to have a tenth of his skills and know how.

Probably totally ruin it, then spend ages scratching their heads wondering why the engine runs like a sack of turds.

 

[Knuckles]

That is amazing!

Hi,
Hi,
We love to insure these types of vehicles. The more modifications the better on our schemes!

Interesting.

What's a ball park for a 25 year old with a Chester post code on this car?

More than you can afford, pal.

 

[Silent_Scone]

That would be confusing as hell to keep with.

 

[Pep]

I've been trying to persuade him to swap it with my E90 but don't think he wants to
