BMW’s decision to give their latest M3 a naturally aspirated V8 was a masterstroke. The homologated M3 E46 GTR may have had the 4.0L P60 V8, but the E92 was the first mainstream production M3 to get eight cylinders instead of six. The S65 4.0L naturally aspirated V8 is still a masterpiece, capable of revving as high as 8,300 rpm while Debuting within the E92 M3 at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, was BMW’s all-new S65 V8 engine. A 4.0lt unit of 309kW at 8300rpm and 400Nm of torque at just 3900rpm that catapulted the svelte coupe into triple digits in 4.5 seconds in dual-clutch transmission guise (4.7 for the manual). We reckon the M3 coupe has aged beautifully. lol. Walking is just boring though. My 335i held up fine to the commute but maybe the M3 is another beast. The engine does get up to operating temp though during that drive (at least in the heat that we have here in NE) so that's a plus. I will say the M3 has been turning over and starting just fine since getting it; even with the 6 year old Considering going from M2C to E92 M3, input appreciated! Hi guys, I currently have my M2C which I bought last year, thinking I would enjoy the torque and efficiency from the turbo engine. I do, but I just feel that I don't "need" it. I love the wonderful chassis and nimbleness of the M2, especially after some upgrades. Castrol SRF is an ultra high performing silicone-based brake fluid that exceeds DOT5 boiling points. SRF is a truly impressive brake fluid with the highest boiling points of any brake fluid we currently sell. We have used it extensively in our Touring and GT race cars. It's a silicone-based fluid that is hydrophobic and will not absorb moisture. . I never thought about owning an M3 without a blower. I ordered my M3 in summer of 2012 and bought an ESS supercharger (625 kit eventually upgrading to 650) and Akra exhaust before the car arrived. So far 22,000 miles and many of those were track and airstrip miles. Since then I've added a BBK since tracking a 600+ HP car demands more robust brakes. 20 Photos. This has been an incredible month. First we got to drive the new R32, and then we flew to Spain to drive the new BMW E92 M3. Originally born out of BMW's desire to dominate motorsport Saying that 30-35k is too much for a 2011, isn't sensible. That would equate to roughly 5-6k miles per year. Significantly under average and very hard to find. The cars with that mileage are usually not for sale by their current owners. Most M3s fall into the 8-10k miles per year range. For a dedicated track car, we have a specific exhaust: The BimmerWorld E9X M3 Race Exhaust by MagnaFlow, a super-lightweight axle-back system coming in at about 30 lbs lighter than stock. Our partnership with MagnaFlow affords us access to the newest technology in exhaust manufacturing that we use to develop and prove on our own dyno. DCT. Custom Cantrell MS cage.
