Hello
Laugh my day Kalbfell and Rosch.........
Now to make the point clear get to BMW and say; I would like to buy a M3 V8 NOW !!!
Exact the winning car streetversion.
They will not have that car and they will even not be able to sale you a engine as it was never a production engine.
Go to Porsche and they even can sale you a used 996 GT 3 for street or race ready cars.
If you need the engine you get it from the shelf or you can buy them used or in pieces.
If you need the block you buy a 964/993 and you have it.
And the best off all it even isnīt designed by BMW as they needed the manpower for F1.
The BME engenieers made a inline 6 for the M3 witch seems not to be competive enough to fight Porsches flat 6 so they used a V8.
This engine was made to run in the DTM with the Opel, Mercedes and Audi.
Compare the aerodynamics and the looks to the Opel
BMW seems strongly to need boost there car sales as that story can kill the reputation. Who likes to buy a cheat car ?
This is like you think a Pro Stock dragster is the same car your Car dealer offers as a Homologation edition.
Now go a step further an buy a Porsche 996 and a M3. Both cars have a similar price in germany. The drive up to the ring and shoot them out and see who will be ahead after 24 hours. On the long run the M3 will have to fight with a 10 year olde 968 CS as that is nearly similar fast but uses 5-10% less fuel.
Sure Porsche should have maybe invest more but the fact is that BMW pulled a secret weapon and dinīt fight on a sportive way.
That car is doped and should run in a own class. Or Porsche goes the same way.
