Guy is doing his usual visual check and was waiting for him to do the sniff test and what happens, they pull the car out as all they needed was a computer. Go in take care of the paper work, come back out to see how the car does with the usual test. Only idled for 3 minutes before they pulled it so I was not worried about passing now. Made it to the smog station, kept the car warm before they pulled into the bay. Car is mechanically sound just looks like the ugly duckling. Took the car on my usual 20 minute warm up run and had no issue. A note is that some changes will be made as to accommodate parts being used and some customizing to make unique.įirst progress update: Living in the car hating state of California, I had to get a smog check done before I registered. Love or hate looks, this is the plan on what the car will look like once I am done. The few image that exist are pictured below. For a complete history on these cars there is some website that offer limited data. The E46 M3 GTR street car was made for BMW to compete in the Le Mans Race Series. Those enthusiasts who wish to help / learn in this build process are welcome to come out and help once the build begins. By this, I mean ideas are welcome but in the end may not be used due to time, cost, or just too far out there. I hope you enjoy the process and I welcome questions and ideas, as my hope is to make this somewhat a community project. As with my other build to make a CSL, a fully document process of the change will be posted here along with another in-depth build sheet. This build is planned to be completed hopefully within the next two years to be a showcase car for the 2016 event that I am planning for the E46 M3. Unfortunately, some parts will have to be aftermarket, as the OE parts are no longer made or were never available. Unlike most “GTR” conversion, you see people make, this is meant to be as close to factory as possible using parts that are available today. The following build thread is the conversion of an E46 M3 into an E46 M3 GTR Street Car. Please be aware this is a VERY picture intensive build thread.
