E92 335i and E46 CSL with M5 V10 engine

[blue8]

E92 335i:

A BMW parts retailer in Germany has just completed a new E92 M3 project car fitted with the M5’s V10 engine in replacement of the standard car’s high-rev V8. The special one-off was commissioned by Bremgo, a specialist in sourcing BMW parts and tuning accessories, and the one-stop shop is now offering all the parts necessary for the conversion to anyone crazy enough to shoe-horn the 507hp 5.0L into the Coupe. Completing the mechanical changes is the adoption of the M5’s SMG instead of the M3’s standard six-speed manual. In addition to the new drivetrain, Bremgo has also loaded up the test car with BMW tuner gear including a Hartge perforated leather steering wheel and AC Schnitzer five-spoke alloy wheels. Not surprisingly, the car has been debadged. The only question remaining is what to name it. This isn’t the first radical conversion undertaken by Bremgo. Their previous works include an E46 M3 fitted with a 543hp version of the M5 V10, and we suspect the upgraded engine may be the same spec as the one fitted in this new E92 version.

^I'd get this car but have the rims changed immediately first

Let me guess, it'll cost the same as two Z06's ?

How do we know that this is an actual M3 and not a front and rear conversion? And yes, its going to be $$$$$

I'm skeptical as well, but that would be a pretty pricey conversion to make a 335i in a "M3". Notice the CF roof and the CF trim that are supposed to be in the M3.

True, but for some reason, I think its a little deeper than that. The seats are different than on the M3, too.

The seats look as though they belong in an Audi lol

After going through E90 post, a lot of people believe that this is just a 335i converted into an "M3" using OEM parts/aftermarket parts. The main reason being the 7k redline in the tach.

:shock: :faint: I.. want.. one.. badly!

I didn't notice the instrument panel... it doesn't even have the M badge on it! Still, the conversion is pretty accurate and even if it's not an actual M3, it still has a powerful V10 in what I presume is a lighter car than an M5 at least

A powerful V10 along with a supposed 52/48 weight distribution.
