Summary: 2002 E46 M3 with M52 2.8L (m3 cams) on motec M800 and AIM MXL Pro05 (canbus connected to each other), S54 6spd drivetrain - about 400hp/400trq@8psi, simple reliable setup, drives like a v8, full torque at 3200rpm, flat to 6800.

Note: this was the second day of shakedown, so I was not pushing very hard, engine was at 7psi initial tune.

I'll give you $2.50.

GLWS, great looking setup. One day...

I figured it would be worth adding an exterior finished on track shot:

Dear god, that spoiler is enormous!

[Jaffster]

It just looks bigger in pictures, its not that massive in person. Its quite a bit shorter width than most wings, and its to the rear limit...so its within the same "box" of other wings, the end plates just create an illusion

Id I remember right, didn'y you have that wing specifically CFD designed for the car? I remember following your build, it really is one hell of a car. GLWS.

I modified a 3D scan of an E46 M3 to include some aero design iterations, and we discovered some very interesting things about the rear wing placement, design, as well as placement of the vortex generators, underbody flow, etc. All the CFD/Model data is included with the sale of the car.

Here is a picture I posted a while back as a teaser:
