    E46 M3 GTR Coming Home

    I have just agreed a deal to bring my old E46 GTR back to Ireland , I built the car brand new myself in 2011 and sold it to strata motorsport for the 2011 Silverstone 24 hours where it finished the race first time out and was one of the quickest BMWs in the race with a totally standard CSL engine running circa 350 bhp which i was very pleased with

    I know the car inside out as i built it myself and have been involved with the car throughout its life so it made sense for me to bring it back home , Everything was done in my workshop apart from welding and fabrication as i am shit at welding so leave that to the professionals , It has only run 30 hours from brand new and is fully refreshed again including being stripped completly and dipped & Repainted with brand new Engne , Drenth , Motec , Drexler and exhaust

    This is how it started and during the build









    First Shake down and test



    At the 2011 Silverstone 24 hours

    Well done Porscheman, that is superb news. I hope the plan is to get it out for some tracktime yourself? Incredibly ballsy build, I take a bow!

    Plan is to use it myself in Ireland and enter it in either Barcelona or Silverstone 24 hours later in the year

    The shell has been acid dipped and rebuilt and painted recently so its like brand new

    Fuel Consumption is about 1.2 litres per minute

    What size fuel tank does it use ? What octane rating of fuel do you use in racing ? I seen this car in the flesh a long time ago to says its savage in the flesh would be an understatement
