Fun fact about the "Straßenwagenversion": Although they produced 10 road legal versions, only 7 can be driven on German roads. A rich woman (my theory: Susanne Klatten) bought 2 road legal cars as an investment but never registered them in Germany. The cars gained astronomical values but she can't register those cars in Germany for road legal use since the laws for safety and emissions standards got stricter, thus it would fail today's requirements. Those cars are basically worthless in Germany except she could ship them to countries like Saudi Arabia, where it might be possible to legally drive those cars. I'm not sure, what happened to the 3rd car, but this is what I heard from my guide when we went to BMW Classic.

It's a shame it wasn't widely sold, perhaps porsche hadn't been so vehement with banning the M3, maybe they would've produced and sold a few more. Thankfully we got the E9x M3 afterwards which came with a V8 as an answer for the GT2 regulations.

Great video as usual ! One thing to point out though is that the street version E46 M3 GTR carried very little parts from the standard E46 M3. They shared door skins and tail lights. Any thing else was E46 M3 GTR exclusive like bumpers, headlights with lighter covers, CF hood, flat underbody and the even lighter roof and trunk lid skins contributed to the "Unobtanium" status it had.
I got to witness it along with 2 z4gtes some years ago at PIRC the week of the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. It sounds amazing and flames off-throttle. The z4s were clearly faster, but one of them burned that day. All 3 had those long intake trumpets that you'd think would choke the engine, but obvious the engineers knew what they were doing.

Thank you! I look for every video that shows the M3 GTR in racing, hopefully with time we can learn more and more about this championship car 🚗 💨
Nice! Loved that game back in the day . They really hit the spot with that engine sound
Excellent! Always enjoy your videos. Thank you
I just came here to say, “Most Wanted”.
Impressive car. Good to see it in both environments. Proud to be a Patron of this channel.
To the few people that have this car... Watch out in Rockport City. Someone wants your ride.
You forgot to mention the straight cut gears which made its sound more distinct and iconic, because many nfs players couldnt fathom a gearbox with all gears sounding like the reverse gear and thought the NA engine was supercharged
I believe the legendary sound is actually from a TVR Cerbera in NFS MW 05'

pff what an absolute dream. Imagine owning such a car and being allowed/able to drive it on the roads at night or during the weekends. dreamssss
nice retrospective! would be nice a video of p54 engine from wtcc .
Impresive torque from a 3995cc NA, especially as it seems to be spread thorough a wide RPM range for a touring car.
a real tuning and race car in one
I started working in BMW plant and I managed to meet a man who worked here for 41 years. He was working with E46 M3 GTRs too. He told me plenty of crazy informations about it, damn.
I always imagined That the nfs mw driver Was a real race car driver Some how he got bored or went rogue and left the racing life And he started racing in street races plus how accurate the Bmw gtr was the build the sound Love this game it is going To be my favorite of all time Have an interesting story but Comment section isn't enough
The aftersound of the engine is very stunning
most awaited video
Honestly this engine would be 100% legal on the road considering the C8's engine is basically the same exact way to that of a racing V8 😂
one of the most beautiful cars every made
Hans Stuck driving this car is epic!
Thanks again
the typical sound which you can identify the gtr came from the straight toothed gearbox and not from the crankshaft
They made 2, 5L V8 versions for the ALMS series. 1 of these made it to Australia to race in the Bathurst 24hr race in 2004, owned by Maher Algadri. Was more recently sold at Auction a few years ago.
0:39 that engine roaring just like nfsmw
0:05 i was att a car show few years back and they actually had one of the spare chassies for sale. it was the spare chassi for the car in 0:05 it had the exact same livery and all to. believe it never actually saw any racing so it was a fresh spare rolling chassi they never needed.
will the BMW F1 turbo video return ? and if can you please tell when ?
Thanks for the video! This is The unobtainium. (For me at least.) Just give me the motor. I would figure out what to do with it. Might bankrupt me though.

Greatest BMW Engine 🏁
the legendary car off all time this car is so controversial this car engine is so rare or even you cannot buy one because this is the real dream car
The p60b40 is probably the ONLY flat-plane crank I actually like.
It's quite literally the Most Wanted car now, uf ut wasn't before. We should protest the BMW company to produce this beauty for the road.
saw them all in bmw museum in munich 2 years ago for m department 50th anniversary

The race cars had centre lock magnesium BBS wheels that I don't think you could've bought at the time if you weren't BMW anyway. Even if you could they would be anything but cheap and nigh impossible to produce at production car scales. Plus that would've necessitated centre lock hubs for the street version which would've meant using the race car brake discs and calipers minimum with a one off master cylinder and biasing valve because you can't use racecar esque dual master cylinder setups on street cars.

200 kg (440 lbs.) weight reduction is remarkable for a car this size.
for that price buy an e46 car or just the chassis swap/buy the engine for the better v8 on the e92 the s65 fab the firewall buy a straight cut 6 speed dog clutch manual gearbox and a adapter plate too find yourself a good body shop get that e46 some spot-welding fab a roll cage double wishbone the front and the rear get the GTR body kit and side exhaust the bad boy from there you may have some more to spare

Hang on.....i coulda sworn i seen E46 M3's still racing in the US until 2006 in grand am (the other side of what imsa became in the early 2010's) i think it was the GTR but still funny enough what actually killed the E46 was the pontiac GTO and the mazda RX-8 by pure virtue of them being faster and more agile than the aging M3
@Maksimov1337

The GTO as in the Holden Monaro? They're great cars but "more agile" than an e46 is doubtful.
There is a myth I love to believe, that BMW Motorsport has a EXACT Replica of NFS MW M3, with the same livery, in its Race-Spec in the Garage. And that it is still racing someday or another on Nürnburg Ring time to time.
To this day there's no one make the road going M3 GTR bumper. 4:40
Well I actually made a video of the BMW M3 GTR being sold at YTG, the one in your thumbnail. And if anyone wants to, they can watch the onboard 2004 videos in HQ on my channel.
I wonder if someone was rich enough they'd be able to buy or at least get BMW to build them a new M3 GTR E46 for collection purposes. I'm sure that with enough money BMW wouldn't mind parting with one of their most legendary race cars. It's not like they're getting used anyways.
Actually, many exact replicas is available on the 2007 M3 chassis
Mr good man, why you change the thumbnail??? 1st one is already good enough
Ends up the E92 being the M3 GTR that BMW wants to sell to the public. Love the E92 too but this racing E46 is just epic as fuck ❤

I dislike BMW cars in general, but this is the one exception. What a machine.
I honestly still don't get why the BMW E3 was the one. I guess because NFSU1-2 walked so MW could run, and be the game at peak need for speed popularity. There are a few cars from U1/U2 that I like much more than the more basic BMW.

I didn’t know
and so many tried to replicate the MW05 GTR and always... always chose the wrong damn bodykit. The proper kit is the wider version of the Strassenversion, not a later iteration. Hence the black version has the Strassenversion included. Andres iteration was probably the worst out of all. Theo (Blackpanthaa) might be able to pull it off, despite using a regular 3 series coupe and not an M3. At least the kit he chose looks actually the closest (for beeing a replica kit, the real Racing kits from BMW are biiiiiiiiiiiiiig ticket items). All other appearances in latter NFS games are just mere "wannabe kit-cars", not the proper deal and should never be accounted for. Why do people care about the headlight washers so much for example? Using the halogen headlights saves weight over using Xenons and their ballasts. And afaik xenons werent even an option for the '99 MY of the E46, which the MW05 GTR is based off of.

I spent many hours on Forza replicating this lol
Soon or Later. Someone will Copy the Engine 1:1 and sell it for Engine Swaps on each E46 model.
