The guys at Track Culture (the grip division of Driftworks) got their M5 V10 powered BMW E46 M3 working and decided to give it a spin outside their office. But the best thing is that they didn't only take this one picture but also made a small video for us all to enjoy.
I really hope to see this car on the Nürburgring this year !

Oh. My. God.
Praise be to Track Culture for giving BMW the balls they once had.
Pure Sechs!!!
Damn nice E46, but planet unicorn is better
This is the perfect melding of a great engine with a great car. I wish BMW had put the V10 into something else instead of the ugly chuds that were the M5 and M6.
Super clean build
I love E46 M3s, but that thing is absolutely beastly! and that sound...... I could listen to that all day long! I want an E46 M3, but just wish that maintenance wasnt such a pain, and so damn expensive!!
WOW.
i heard the waves were 13 feet, so scary!
The sound of this animal is SIMPLY AMAZING!
Freakin awesome!
my e46 just feels incomplete now...
Should of had The v10 option from the factory. Would have been OUT.
This car needs a spotlight .... word!!!
The Reese's peanut butter cup of BMW's.
This does need a spotlight. Or even better... a FEATURE!!!! But in the meantime, here is the build thread on Track Culture's website, http://www.trackculture.com/category/bmw-e46-m3-v10-conversion/
sexy... in a dominatrix sort of way
V-10 in one of the most handsome coupes BMW made? Total win!
Just insane!
13 foot waves!?!? damn that is sooo crazy

What an Amazing Machine. Well Done Guys!!!
pure HAVOK Baby ..... AWESOME
I never thought the baby sized e30M3 would have grown into such a monster over time to be able to swallow a V10 but it works out like a beautiful orchestral symphony production. Amazing build, WOW.
eye spy enkei nt03's! am i right on this one? please confirm!
Awesome, awesome ! Thanks for sharing.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! F*** right, truly a masterpiece
the M5 enging??!! thats a very powerful engine even in stock form! don't forget M3's from this era are very tunable as a rule.. wicked random snap!
Hmm Mystic blue or Carbon Black... this video shows how hard it is to determine between the two even if they are drastically different in person. But looking at the Pics that is Carbon Black, nice color.
As for the comment that tuning the s54b32 is a losing proposition yup I agree, cheaper to get a junked v10 from an m5 and swap then go TT or SC on the s54b32.
Thanks for the kind comments guys. I'm a bit weirded out by how well received it has been here. Hey maybe I should put Rota's on it again?
Anyone that want's to know more about the car, there's a full build thread in the projects section of the forum at http://www.trackculture.com
Phil, epic build! Really well done. I may 'buy' this off you yet
Phil, you have a brake light out.
