And that...my dear children; is known as DRIVING.

[@dsa3001]

Denis,privet!This video of yours was one of the main reasons why i bought my M3 E46 in June.Particularly the sound of this M3!!Thanks cpacibo;-)

[@ShoreStudios]

That my friend is the sound of a ITB inline 6 screaming its face off, lap time for this car is in the correct range too, great driver cant really do much better without a more powerful car on this course. Gotta remember the M series BMWs are race cars before they are street cars.

[@Sander_Salamander]

Whoever tuned the suspension did a fantastic job! The car hooks in perfectly and stays planted throughout the entire corner.

[@firstbadboy5998]

What an amazing job :) Hope you be safe, thanks for the video! I both enjoyed and learned quite a lot of things... however I doubt if anybody could do something like this even virtually! Cheers Greeting from Persia

[@Djphilalright]

respect

[@Teesquared00]

Love the sound. Awesome driving!

[@alfredwan3253]

Amazing run Denis! E46 M3's all day, everyday!

[@edperera1969]

Stunning driving mate. Really shows what a top driver can do in a top, only slightly modified car. Epic!

[@RDEnduro]

great driving, fully committed and confident! great engine sounds love it

[@dragostrance]

tires squealing at 160 kmph. I wouldn't dare. great driving, perfect machine.

[@hedge129]

Чётко и агрессивно, как всегда респект! :)

[@krisa9977]

That was Hankook 240/640 R18 slicks on Motec wheels all around. Yoka slicks 650/250 R18 about 10 second faster (look my other video VLN config 9:30 that means 7:25 BTG)

[@JeanJacquesMol]

Sweet driving man!!! Respect! Impressive driving skills and car control! It must be a honor sitting next to you and tasting the Ring this way!

[@sealsponge]

VERY nice suspension setup, not hopping too bad around the karousel and it stays flat around the tighter sections while giving enough damping too

[@busa2958]

vraiment super pilotage,un vrai plaisir a regardé.

[@krisa9977]

@Nordschleifejunkie This car was prepped for V6 production class for VLN. In this class it is not allowed to make any changes except tires and suspension. The weight of the car is about 1430 kg and, like I sad before, there are no other changes except suspension and a roll cage. You can see my car just about every day during tourist hours with Florida license plate. In this video it was slick tire, but track was damp. With dry track with Direzza 3G semi slick I was faster during tourist days!!!

[@670lamborghini]

Man that is really really quick.......superb driving!

[@KealeyOnCars]

I love this video purely for the sound. Great driving!

[@MistRVertexZ]

I did this with the standard BMW M3 E46 in 8.15 with Logitech G27 :) btw nice driving man!:)

[@krisa9977]

@RaskVousSalue Yes, I live there during the season.

[@hedge129]

Очень круто Денис, кайф должно быть несусветный :)

[@vyrnmn]

a LOT of weight has been taken out of this car. you can see it has a rollcage, and of course you can tell it is a lot stiffer and has a LOT of grip. All points to more race-oriented suspension and stickier tyres - I'm inclined to believe that someone who spends every season pounding round this circuit in a car as track-prepared as this one can turn out some pretty brilliant times.

[@geronimo49]

excellent, clean line, pushing the car very hard...love it

[@joeyabreu767]

this gives a lesson to the new type r

[@marcthemarc5102]

Oh that Sound

[@Kevin335is]

I would honestly pay you to take me once around that track. Great video and great car.

[@King_Sok]

this video has inspired me to buy an e46 m3, and drive just like that!! WHOAAAAA

[@mirra1970]

WOW That is TOO fast. One of the best driver I've ever seen.

[@PhilippeBEL001]

Holy F!!! That's one great lap. I assume you know 'the Ring' very well. That's some very fancy driving!

[@M346Daniel]

Impressive lap, incredible speed at som turn in points.

[@Dagostini34]

Original brakes too? :O Really nice drive!

[@nevenblaskovic7627]

great driving m3 forever.

[@TheOfficialPayne]

wow awesome

[@besir87]

awesome driving balls of steel

[@Chrisdsfilms]

Ernest Daka The M3 Richard Garnasson is driving is a supercharged M3 CSL, and he drives the full track, not bridge to Gantry, like the video here. BTG is only 90% of the track. If this was the full track, Denis' time would be about somewhere around 7:50. Always add +- 20 seconds to a bridge gantry lap.

[@gracebikes]

Sorry guys, this is not speed up, I think this is some real good driving, I am shure you got a AW or MYK Numberplate;-) Great Video, it shows what a series M3 can be made into without the carpets and the heavy sound proofing. Great car...

[@Manakuski]

Awesome driving there!

[@MrPaseante]

that car sounds awesome

[@JEFF4507]

Good driving! Very quick!

[@dieppe35]

Respekt...Great driving.

[@nbrigdan]

this is awesome, full bass out.

[@Giulio_G]

Great driving

[@mtsui67]

M3 with no interior is abit of high pitch sound... nice driving btw

[@winkirk]

flawless driving, wish i could simulate this as well as you in gt5... the track is identical! :D

[@yorumlar1]

he is driving very good.

[@cw205mi16]

It's not sped up, it's probably the camera/framerate that makes it look like that. The slicks giving high cornering speeds are what makes the time so low. I was going around 7m50s in a full trim road car S50 Z3M Coupe on R888s, similar weight, bit less power. That felt quick but 7m35 must feel uber fast.

[@krisa9977]

it is standard brakes with PFC brake pads

[@detaart]

Amazing driving

[@Jimmy35GTR]

i think i found my favourite video on youtube..

[@iansojdm]

crazy quick mate!

[@ThomasTT87]

at first i also thought this was sped up but on a closer look its just excellent driving with an awesome car comes to show what some weight loss can do but those tires sure are not stock?

[@bgardiner2000]

Sped up? lol I've just imported my M3 from the UK to Australia. I had always wanted to take it to the ring before I brought it over. Unfortunately I've got 2 young kids now and will probably have to sell it. Your vid has made me want to hold onto it a while longer ;) You said "no other mods" but has it had a remap? Love your work.

[@k0011473]

very impressive, hammer driver. You can do it :)

[@mirra1970]

I think this run is more like 7:33 because there were couple cars on the track which made him slow down a little.

[@PITBOY911]

What a monster!!

[@captaineigloo57]

M3 + balls = awesome lap !

[@TheGoosu94]

@suzuki17dt he said there's no interior. therefore all the insulation/soundproofing is gone. that means the engine will sound much different than normal.

[@zhenghaorocks]

Simply incredible

[@swimmer751]

Awesome video! Great driving. What tires do you have on?

[@ernestdaka3402]

nice drive on a stock car... one more thing! I'm watching this Richard Gornasson on what looks Racing M3 and his time is 7:22 not much faster than yours, but actually looks much faster than you, just a thought...

[@karinochmorris8256]

Richard Göranssons lap was a full lap, not BTG so that is a lot quicker, not to take away anything from this driver/lap as it's a big different between the cars, the Loaded CSL had somewhere around 600hp.

[@bmwdreiermax]

ganz schönes tempo:-) SCHNELL!!

[@ricknick74]

krisa997 great drive great car i have just bought a m3 e46 and im in middle of stripping it for track and fitting roll cage like yourself , do you mind me asking what brake kit you have on your car . i cant stop watching this vid ,awsome.

[@krisa9977]

No remap. It showed 338 hp (at the engine) when I did dyno check for VLN

[@AndyMiron]

this is freacking sick! I cant really understand if thats the driver or also the e46m3 that is so crazy fun?

[@c5492]

would you mind sharing which Tyre and wheel combination you were using ? nice drive good quality views

[@ricknick74]

sick drive, im taking my e46 m3 this year , shit you can drive.

[@Scoe1]

Very quick well done. I just bought an e46 m3 and plan to cage it and race it here in Europe. Question, are your brakes stock calipers?

[@m3pOwEr4LIFE]

Bravo! 1430 kilo's? That's a drastic weight drop! I believe that the engine is stock for the most part, but what tires were you on?

[@jitsslo]

great video. what camera are u using?

[@bgardiner2000]

338... is that all? :D From a non-turbo straight 6?

[@ernestdaka3402]

nice drive on a stock car...

[@GolfNeror32]

good driver

[@krisa9977]

@suzuki17dt I always ready for challenge! How much would you put? How about 20000 Euro ? I'm at the Ring just about every track day and always ready to take your offer.

[@digi051669]

WTF - INSANE!! Amazing

[@Barrakydas13]

Красава)

[@t-ruckerj]

looks good mate, makes me want an m3 lol, good effort impressive stuff, lets see how good you are on forza 4 lol...

[@isMaex]

Brilliant driving! What kind of tires?

[@Barkingjohnboy]

For me it'd be E46, coz I like a straight 6, and can have a csl rep. without the flappy paddle 'box. However, there is a problem that BMW refuse to recognise, and that a fair few E46s are now cracking around the rear subframe holding the diff. Boils down to your choice.

[@ZellusCars]

That's a fantastic driving ! Well done, what tires are you using ?

[@nov1505]

@suzuki17dt He's on slicks. Take turns like he's on rails.

[@labedra]

Excellent driving! What tires were you on?

[@IrOn26igb]

nicht schlecht!!!

[@lolobean]

God damn, wish I could get the same out of my M, or even go to the ring. What kind of tires are you running?

[@DethThrasher1]

lets hope you are as skilled

[@GinolasVideos]

Guessing you did this on a full trackday rather than tourist day as start speed is 240kph..?

[@Alexzahnder]

nice lines ..

[@cuzimill786]

That's insane

[@nddychn]

hero

[@AmadeusUa]

Wow

[@krisa9977]

KW Competition 2 way

[@RaskVousSalue]

@krisa9977 Do you live near the track to go there so often?

[@al3xcr76]

nice

[@chris0021kh]

Whoa! He doesn't even know the meaning of fear....

[@krisa9977]

@Kiese2000 Stock exhaust, Hankook slicks (240/640 R18)

[@Kiese2000]

Tires ? Exhaust ? Would thank you for answer

[@RecepTiryaki]

[@MR112571]

WOW!
