Yeah it’s a shame, but when you think about it... the fact that Porsche drove them out by complaining makes the car even more notorious. Not only did they win GT titles but Porsche was only able to eliminate them by changing the rules. They had to change the rules to beat the GTR, it makes it even more legendary than any championship victory they could win in my opinion.

Mmmh not really, rules at that time were clear but subject to interpretation nevertheless hence why BMW actually ran with a prototype engine despite rules specifying that tourism race car had to be direct derivatives of their serial production model. Their complaint was actually legit since the engine in the M3 GTR was not a race modified version of the base model but a different prototype engine even though it was based on the serial production car... GT cars are basically road version cars with tuned engine managment fuel injection/air intake valves, race exhaust lines and lightened reinforced body.

[@hortinus]

Actually, it came from a sampled TVR Cerbera engine note, which has a Flat-plane V8. The NFS: MW has sound files under this name for the M3.

[@BlackwatchCrazySix]

Correct. The Carbon version is more in line with the real thing with the sound alone.

[@TheRacingJoker]

Clarification: When I say the P60 inspired the P65 I’m talking about how they were able to return to ALMS with a V8 because the E92 M3 road car had a V8. Yes, I know the S65 is derived from the S85, I just used poor word choice 😂 sorry if I made you think I didn’t know that. The main reason why I talk about the P65 so much is because we have the option to buy it (for 80,000 USD or more but still). The P60B40 was never available to the public so my argument was that the P65 was the next best thing for GTR replicas.

[@shifty1927]

Closest to the p60 was the s62 since they are both based off the m60 engine.

[@Exekutioncro]

You can hear that whine on your car as well (most of them at least). IF you put it in reverse its the same sound, because the reverse gear is the only one straight cut :)

[@TheRacingJoker]

This is very true, although it's much more insulated than a racing transmission. In fact even racing transmissions today aren't quite so loud as the straight cut ones from the M3 GTR's era.

[@Kacpa2]

ProStreet and Undercover also had a GTR kit for M3 e46 tho without the side exhaust

[@TheRacingJoker]

This is true! For a while the true GTR look didn’t appear in the NFS games. Mostwanted 2012 had it as a DLC car but NFS 2015 and Payback have the full kit this time. And I think NFS World also had the GTR style kit from Undercover and Prostreet

[@Kacpa2]

Yes, tho MW2012 one is same as 2015 inline6 sound plus tranny whine. NFS World has street version and Racing GTR is in the files. Beta of NFS World had one with the prostreet kit and NFS MW05 sound tho :v

[@ItsMikeArre]

V8 NA straight cut gears what else could you ask for

[@TheRacingJoker]

The keys 😉 lol but in all honesty when putting together a recipe for a replica of one of these me and the consultant essentially decided street E46 M3 chassis, stripped interior, carbon PTG widebody, S65B40 with upgraded internals and flat plane crank, a supetcharger for at least 575 whp, a holinger sequential, welded chassis roll cage, side exhaust and whatever other supporting mods. So the only extra thing i would ask for is a couple extra hundred horsepower.

@@TheRacingJoker i have also heard about 3 versions of the M3 GTR in Carbon. Just in case you know, is it true?

[@TheRacingJoker]

I can't confirm that but that would make sense to me since there are three instances where you the car appears in the vanilla game. First is during the intro when Cross chases you, second is during the canyon challenge event where you drive Cross' Vette and the third is the M3 GTR you unlock by beating that challenge. The three versions might be for the three different instances where the car can appear. When going through the debug menu of the game (using the extra options mod) I'm pretty sure there are three GTRs you can cycle through so you may be right.

Most God Like Sound in a car ever and my old Mustang sounded amazing. Nothing beats the roar of the P60 with the straight cut gears. But damn you can make that whine sound sexier in NFS Heat and Unbound by adding a Centerfugal Supercharger to it and it harmonizes with the gears perfectly

I have a set of ptg brakes from a gtr and I’m working on putting them on a road going e46 m3. The brakes are performance friction billet aluminum 4 piston both front and rear. The brakes are 380mm in the front and 323mm in the rear. They are product code zr26 for the front and zr22 for the rear. Those are the codes from performance friction. The calipers are nickel plated.

[@TheRacingJoker]

M3 GTR has more wail and yell to it compared to the M3 GT2's howl

[@TheRacingJoker]

That's definitely true, hopefully that can be overcome with an exhaust because both the P60 and the P65 make a similar note.

[@TheRacingJoker]

V12Style Definitely, there will always be that difference. I’m not sure what can be done about it but I’d still be happy with a P65 swapped E46 anyways, it’s the closest I could ever get to owning a P60

[@TheRacingJoker]

@V12Style Yeah, but even in the hugely unlikely event that they say they'll sell me a P60 I bet it will cost 200-300k or more. I'd rather just do the P65 and supercharge it for 600 whp

[@TheRacingJoker]

I’m working around the clock to get more parts for my GTR replica

[@zaccorpseman7366]

But how are the drivers able to shift gears without pressing the clutch? That part always confuses me whenever I watch any M3 GTR driving video.

[@TheRacingJoker]

I love that you asked this because this puzzled me for a long time as well. Various transmissions were used in the M3 GTRs but they all at the very least had shift cuts for upshifts (not always downshifts). Essentially what would happen is when the driver would move the gearlever towards a higher gear the engine timing would cut out and allow the gears to change and once the gears were back in place the engine timing would resume and it would essentially be a super fast gear change. I don’t think they always did this for downshifts because that creates a risk for money shifting and ruining a prototype engine.

[@zaccorpseman7366]

@@TheRacingJoker Oh I get it! So it basically is like a semi-automatic gearbox, except that it has a functionally clutch, and is h pattern shifting. And yeah, I saw some drivers used the clutch when downshifting

[@zaccorpseman7366]

@@TheRacingJoker And the engine cutout is controlled by the electronics units, right? Or it's fully mechanical?

[@TheRacingJoker]

Kronx Electronic tuning through the ECU. And yep! It’s basically an H pattern that behaved a lot like a sequential gearbox. But yes it still had a clutch and they often had to still use the clutch or at the very least hit the accelerator for downshifts. Sometimes for downshifts they didn’t use a clutch but the driver still had to blip the throttle to raise the RPMs for the lower gear.

[@zaccorpseman7366]

@@TheRacingJoker I see, thanks for the info! But guess it's gotta cost a lot to just put one of these in your own street/track car lol, let alone getting a fully build car.

I remember I was introduced to the car in my city's theme park, it had a building with a bunch of games for a bunch of consoles which you could play right there. I liked car games so I played NFS MW, which was available back then. Next year the building was turned into one of those scary passages. Then I got a DVD game with my cereal box (back then it was common) it was TIR (Total Immersion Racing) it featured the BMW at the GT category (there was GT, GTS and LMS). I remember I fooled my school to think I was sick for 2 weeks just so I could play that game (until my parents caught me lol). Then one day I was at a GAME (Just like GameStop, but more popular in Spain) and saw NFS MW, I didn't remember it at all since I played it at the theme park, but I picked it because I liked the style. When I booted the game in my PC and started playing I realized it was the same game I played in the theme park and got that much more excited. A year or so later I lost the box and the code you had to input to verify it's a legit copy, and couldn't install it again, until some teenagers told me I could just get a cracked code, I did it and played until the DVD was too searched to be legible. About ten years after that here I am, playing NFS Pro Street and still making my M3 to look as similar to the GTR as possible.
