The e46 GTR M3 had a V8, but was cancelled. The engine in this E46 is a Chevy engine, although it doesn't have BMW "heritage" you can't deny thats a beastly car, the engine isn't that heavy either.
BMW ///M3 didnt have V8 engine in them until 2008 with the e92 chassis coming out... Whatever it is its NOT a BMW motor in there bc it sounds nothing like one... I personal think the BMW motor sounds alot nicer
I actually found out what it was from some people on streetfire who were informed by the BMW community. It is a 330ci with a chevy 350 V8 bored out to a 410 and supercharged. This thing is a monster. I don't even know how that engine would fit, but they made it work. I guess there's some more vids of it on this site somewhere. Just type 350 v8 3 series or something like that.
made by who...? as far as im concerned if stupid american tuners pull out the I6 m3 engine and put some pathetic v8 of their own in it it ceases to be a M3...ok plus we know its not even an M3 or mtech bmw..but a 330ci
Made by BMW. An E46 M3 GTR street version with a 4000 cc V8 engine was made in order for BMW to qualify its race version GTR in the American Le Mans in 2001. A very limited number was produced and sold for about $250,000.

You cant say M3. Because M3 has a inline 6engine.. You can say a tuned Bmw 3series V8 ;)

Doesn't sound anything like the S62...
Just because it's a BMW doesn't mean another BMW V8 has to be dropped in

It's not even an M3, just a widebody Flossman M3 kit. It's a Chevy engine for sure, not a M5 engine.

E46 M3 with a V8? Fair enough to call it a M3 GTR then :D
