Project E90 WTCC Build Project

nieue · 09-05-2013, 02:33 PM

Just starting out on a new project E90 WTCC, I've been going to the nurburgring now for a while and the place just gets better and better the more time you spend there. My current M3 E92 lives there for 6 months of the year. But I'm just getting more addicted to it all, so I've just purchased this shell to build up as a dedicated race car. Will post more as I go along - let me know you're thoughts

Igor_M5 · 09-05-2013, 02:37 PM

This is gunna be fun...

But whats up with the photoshopped rims and stickers on your E92? lol

nieue · 09-05-2013, 02:40 PM

This is the car for Time Attack in the UK - just thought I'd see what it looks like before I sticker it up. Have choices on the engine either a flat 6 bmw motorsport engine, 4.0 V8 or 4.4 V8 Twin Turbo like the new M5 hooked up to a drenth gearbox?

nieue · 09-05-2013, 02:48 PM

A quick photoshop version of what it might look like finished (sort of) - any suggestions welcome

Someone? · 09-05-2013, 02:52 PM

Please dont put a Ugly F N wing like that^ on that bad ass to be car!

davesaddiction · 09-05-2013, 04:18 PM

In for updates - what's your weight target?

GOLFFRR · 09-05-2013, 04:21 PM

pkimM3r · 09-05-2013, 04:22 PM

is this just to drive around the ring?

nieue · 09-05-2013, 04:40 PM

Target weight is around 1200.

To race in a series first in the UK, then hopefully race at spa and the ring

SilentAttack · 09-05-2013, 05:18 PM

Wow thats gonna take some time

Alen E90 · 09-05-2013, 05:54 PM

sub'd!

cant wait to see this project all complete, and btw those gold E88's are gonna look great on your car but IMO the wing would look a lot better if it sits on top of the trunk.

keep us posted with the pics!

On a street car a crazy wing would be awful but...pretty much anything goes BECAUSE RACECAR.

This is true. Because racecar.

RingMeister01 · 09-05-2013, 07:59 PM

Agreed. Because racecar, ftw.

nieue · 09-06-2013, 01:16 AM

Thanks for the comments.

I think the rear wing is going to sit on the rear boot lid - a friend who races said that if you got hit in the rear it would damage the rear wing mounts which would effect the down force

Imran@Evolve · 09-06-2013, 04:44 AM

Looking forward to see where you go with this.

Will be good to see a E9X M3 in Time Attack too. Not many BMW's have entered in the past.

Looks like this will be an amazing project.
