🐒 A MONSTER WAS BORN! BMW M3 PROJECT BUILD
M3 Wiki Info: The M3 version of the E46 3 Series was produced in coupé and convertible body styles. The E46 M3 is powered by the S54 straight-six engine and has a 0-100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration time of 5.1 seconds for the coupé, with either the manual or SMG-II transmission.[61][62] The skidpad cornering results are 0.89 g for the coupé and 0.81 g for the convertible.[63][64] The top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h (155 mph).[62] The kerb weight is 1,570 kg (3,461 lb).[citation needed]
The available transmissions were a Getrag 420G 6-speed manual transmission or a SMG-II 6-speed automated manual transmission, which was based on the Getrag 420G.[65] The SMG-II used an electrohydraulically-actuated clutch, and gear shifts could be selected via the shifter or paddles mounted on the steering wheel. The SMG-II was praised for its fast shift times and racetrack performance, but some people found its shifts to be delayed and lurching in stop-start traffic.[66]
Total production of the E46 M3 was 56,133 coupés and 29,633 convertibles.[67] The cars were assembled at the BMW Regensburg factory in Germany, and production was from September 2000 until August 2006, for a total of 85,766 cars.[68]
An M3 Touring station wagon prototype was built to evaluate the feasibility of building an M3 model on the existing platform of the E46 station wagon (especially the integration of the M3's wider rear wheel arches onto the wagon body). The prototype did not reach production.[19][20]
The 3.2 L (200 cu in) S54 engine is the final evolution of the BMW S50 naturally aspirated straight-six engine. The S54 is rated at 252 kW (343 PS; 338 hp) at 7,900 rpm, 365 N⋅m (269 lb⋅ft) at 4,900 rpm, and has a redline of 8,000 rpm.[61] As with most M engines, the S54 has individual throttle bodies for each cylinder, with electronic throttle control (drive-by-wire) operation of the throttles being a new feature for the S54.
Development and launch
Concept design of the M3 began in 1997.[69] The head of exterior design was Ulf Weidhase and the head of interior design was Martina Bachmann.[69]
The M3 was previewed at the 1999 International Motor Show Germany[70] as a concept,[71] resembling the final production version very closely. The final production version was first introduced in October 2000 at the Geneva Motor Show,[72] with the new 3.2 L S54 M-tuned inline-6 engine.
The BMW M3 CSL (Coupe Sport Leichtbau, meaning 'Coupé Sport Lightweight')[73] is a limited edition version of the M3 that was produced in 2004, with production totalling to 1,383 cars.[74] It was available in two colours: "Silver Grey Metallic" and "Black Sapphire Metallic".
As its name suggests, an emphasis was put on reducing weight. The CSL has a kerb weight of 1,385 kg (3,053 lb), 110 kg (243 lb) lighter than the regular M3.[76][77][78] Structural weight reduction measures include the use of glass-reinforced plastics in various structural points in the car, a roof constructed from carbon fibre reinforced plastic (reducing kerb weight by 7 kg (15 lb) and, more importantly, lowering the centre of gravity), body panels constructed from carbon fibre[76] and thinner glass for the rear window.
In order to homologate the M3 GTR for racing, a road version was produced in 2001. BMW claimed to offer 10 cars for sale to the general public, at the very high price of €250,000.[87] However, only 6 cars were produced, of which 3 were development prototypes.[88] The road cars were built alongside the GTR race cars in the special vehicles department of BMW's Regensburg Plant.
As per the race car, the GTR road car was powered by the 4.0-litre P60 V8 engine. The engine retained the race cars' dry sump oil system and was slightly detuned from 330 to 285 kW (443 to 382 hp) at 7,000 rpm.[89] Top speed was 295 km/h (183 mph). The transmission was a six-speed manual and the differential was the same variable locking unit as used in the race car.
