Nikola records bmw m3 e46 making two wheelspins and accelerating very fast...i couldn't catch the start up cuz my camera is opening too slow. here is a review:
Body & chassis
The M3 concealed much of its performance capability by avoiding superfluous body add-ons (ass a rear-wing would be), there were nonetheless, many distinctive M touches that were setting it apart from the standard E46 3 Series coupe. In addition to the 18-inch M-style wheels that were poised below larger wheel arches, there were the trademark four polished stainless-steel exhausts, vent gills in the front fenders and a power dome on the aluminum hood. Also M exclusives were the special front bumper covering incorporating a deep spoiler with large air intakes and the rear bumper covering incorporating an integrated air diffuser are. Finally, electrically-folding M exterior mirrors, exclusive rocker panel moldings and clear turn signal and side marker lenses were helping distinguish the M3 from standard 325Ci and 330Ci counterparts.
The distinctive front spoiler ensemble featured three openings: center, with screen, for the engine oil cooler; sides, for the fog lights. These outer openings were in fact air intakes for brake cooling.
The M3s aluminum hood differed sharply from the 3 Series steel hood (and contributed to the excellent weight distribution). It featured a "power dome" and contours that sweept up from the grilles flanks to the A-pillars. As on the regular models, Xenon low-beam headlights were optional. Clear turn signal lenses were used in front and at the rear as another distinction from the 3 Series coupe.
The wheel openings were flared out fully 0.8 in more on each side, accenting the 18-in. wheels and tires and keeping them inboard of the sheet metal. Overall, the body was 0.9 in. wider than the 330 Cis.
Other specific side elements were the side "grills" that recalled the E9 (2.5CS 3.0 CSi) coupes of the 1960-70s. The rear bumper/apron was also all-new. A lateral ridge stretched all the way across, and openings for the four exhaust outlets lined up with the trunk lid sides. A discreet spoiler toped the lids top edge, but could be deleted at no extra cost if customers desire.
One thing that came on early M3s is missing: a rear wing. Theres just a teensy little spoiler on the rear deck
The body colors available were: Alpinweiss II, Alpinweiss III, Imolarot II, Laguna Seca, Schwarz II, Carbonschwarz Metallic, Interlagosblau Metallic, Mysticblau Metallic, Phoenixgelb Metallic, Silbergrau Metallic and Titansilber Metallic
Brakes
Powerful brakes were always a BMW strength, and the demand for them on a seriously fast vehicle is obvious. In this good tradition M3 equipped 12.9-in. rear discs, and the thicker rotors all around: 1.2 in at the front and 0.8 in at the rear. A tandem booster sized 10in. / 9 in., provides extra vacuum assist over the 330s single 10-in. booster. As always on M Cars all four discs were ventilated for high fade resistance; electronically proportioned for optimum distribution of braking power; and backed up by Dynamic Brake Control, which reinforces the drivers pedal effort in emergency braking. The M3 could be brought to a halt from 62 mph in half the time it took for it to accelerate to that speed.
Engine & transmission
The E46 M3 engine, designated the S54 , shared the familiar layout of other BMW inline 6-cylinder engines. Virtually all of its engineering details, however, were unique and oriented to the very highest level of performance.
While regular BMW "sixes" had an aluminum block with cast-iron cylinder liners, it may be surprising that the M3 engine (like its predecessor) has a cast-iron block. That was due to the need for compactness and strength. An aluminum blocks cylinder liners take up space and it would have not been possible to achieve the engines displacement without lengthening the block. Also given that this engine develops fully 333 hp from 195 cui its internal stresses are immense (current Formula 1 engines attain piston speeds around 25 meters per second; with 24 m/sec. at its rpm limit of 8000 rpm, the S54 was very close).
The engine also was equipped with step-less Double VANOS, which varied valve timing on the intake and exhaust camshafts without the step of the 2-stage older system. As used in the M3 engine, it varied timing over a wider range and contributed in a major way to the engines power output.
The E46 M3 returned to a BMW M tradition: an individual throttle for each cylinder. Positioned much nearer the cylinders than a single throttle can be, these bring atmospheric pressure practically right to the cylinder. All six throttles were operated from a single shaft, each in its own throttle body right at the intake ports.
The engines rev limit was 8000 rpm and its maximum power occured just below this limit at 7900 rpm. Enjoying this engine to the limit involves operating it frequently in these upper reaches of rotational speed.burnout
