"N" badged engines are successors of "M" badged engines (M40,M43,M50,M52,etc), with polar bear friendly improvements, and a timing chain from some child-sized bicycle.Ģ000 320d: A sturdy little workhorse.

The package contains the following models:ġ999 316i: Smallest 3 series available for pre-facelift models, with a bored-out M43 engine.Ģ003 316Ti Compact: It's a looker, isn't it?Ģ004 318i: Facelift model with the new N42 engine. Looking back now it wasn't a failure at all, some trims were looked quite okay, but I'm not here to discuss the matter of taste. The development started in 1993, it's basically Chris Bangle's first "child" at BMW. Made between 1998-2006, successor of the E36 ( :'( ), predecessor of the E90. With the associated knowledge, I felt ready to make an E46, as it was requested already. Mostly because I've been busy, and also I had to learn these new 3D and interior features. The car appeared in Gran Turismo 4 video game, Need For Speed World, Need for Speed: Carbon and Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) as a special content in Black Edition version.It's been a while since I made something here. The 4.0L V8 engine, which is also available in the race edition of the M3 GTR, is very similar, except that it has been modified to meet standards for such as noise regulations and emissions. To fulfill this rule, BMW put 10 road going GTRs on sale after the 2001 season, for 250,000 euros (then $218,000) each. In 2001, ALMS regulations stated that cars must be for sale on two continents within twelve months of the rules being issued. It is also appeared in 2008 racing game GTR Evolution with 500 hp. The car is widely known to be portrayed as the main character's car with a distinctive blue and silver livery in Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Carbon, and makes an appearance in Need for Speed: World, Need for Speed Most Wanted 2012, Need for Speed No Limits, Need for Speed: Edge, and Need for Speed: Heat It is the most fabulous car in Need For Speed franchise. Private teams (Scheid, Getrag, etc.) also have fit 3,997 cc BMW V8 engines into the E46 body to race on the Nürburgring, winning some VLN races in the last years. Onboard coverage recorded in 2004 Hans-Joachim Stuck, Pedro Lamy, Jörg Müller and Dirk Müller on the Nürburgring and Spa-Francorchamps. Two Schnitzer Motorsport GTR cars saw a comeback in 2003 at the 24 Hours Nürburgring, winning 1–2 in 20, as well as entries in the 24 Hours Spa. Although BMW could have raced the V8 with the new weight and power penalties under these new regulations, they chose to pull out of the ALMS, effectively ending the short-lived M3 GTR's career. The ALMS rules were altered for 2002 to state that 100 cars and 1,000 engines must be built for the car to qualify without penalties. Rivals such as Porsche pointed out that this car was more of a prototype as no V8 engine was available in the road-going BMW E46, which is in violation of the spirit of Gran Turismo. Unlike the straight-six powered M3 versions, which were outpaced by the Porsche 996 GT3, the racing version of the E46 M3 GTR 16 was very successful in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS), entered by Schnitzer Motorsport. An E46 GTR came to life in February 2001, powered by the P60B40 a 3,997 cc V8 producing 493 hp (368 kW 500 PS).
