For many, the BMW E46 M3 is still the only true M3! And this specimen that recently in the Speed Hunters Magazine was presented shows impressively why this is so. The one-of-a-kind was built to as quickly as possible and as often as possible - especially on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife - to drive. The M3 is a radical "ring tool“, which, as far as we know, is still street legal at the same time. The one from Munich belongs to Fabian (aka Mr.Plantgarten) and he is a self-proclaimed "ring addict". Incidentally, the basis for the conversion was a standard, silver-grey one BMW M3 E46. And in just 10 weeks it became what you can see in the pictures now. The most striking feature is of course the Paintingwhich is a BMW Individual shade called UrbanGreen is. The M3 was completely repainted with it. Even that Roll cage is painted in body color. By the way, this one comes from Ireco Motorsport from Poland and is permanently welded to the body of the M3. That got further roof replaced with a carbon one like the M3 CSL to lower the center of gravity.

In addition, more join Carbon accents around the vehicle. Roughly in the form of one Carbon front splitter from MK Motorsport and one XXL GT4 rear wing. Also Flossmann M3 GTR Style fender in front and a matching one bonnet are installed on the M3. And of course an original one was also allowed trunk lid from the CSL are not missing. In addition, the lateral Rear window replaced by polycarbonate slats from Plastics4Performance and also those rear window consists of the ultra-light material. A look through the rear window even leaves one Carbon parcel shelf recognize. Next are in the cabin Recaro Pole Position SPA seats made of aramid fiber (Kevlar) in combination with 6-point belts installed by SCHROTH Racing. That was also dashboard covered with Alcantara and is now steered by means of Momo sports steering wheel.
no sound system / no air conditioning
At the position of the sound system and the climate are now Show installed for the oil pressure/temperature, water temperature and battery voltage and even on small details such as painted in body color pedals and one Helmet in body color one thought. And so that every thousandth can be measured and analyzed on the race track, there is also a Speedometer and lap timer included. And under the hood? There sits a slightly modified one S54 six-cylinder. The power unit received an improved one cooler as well as one Oil Cooler aluminum, one 100 cells catalyst as well as one rear silencer made of titanium by Friedrich Motorsport. A golden heat strip on the back also prevents the heat from the engine from entering the cabin during longer operations. But the changes are much more complex again Suspension. Starting with purple support bearings, One KW Competition coilover kit, completely new sockets (partly made of aluminium) or one CSL rack the M3 lacks nothing.
