bmw m3 e46 gtr need for speed most wanted, The BMW M3 GTR (E46) is a GT class race car developed by BMW based on their M3 E46.
It was originally fitted with a 3.2L inline-six engine based on the engine of the standard E46 M3.
The car first entered the GT class of the American Le Mans Series in 2000, in which it only took a single victory and was beaten on several occasions by the Porsche 911 GT3-R.
A newly developed P60B40 V8 engine was quickly placed into the race car before the beginning of the 2001 season.
It was developed alongside the BMW V10 engine that was used to power Williams Formula 1 cars during the 2001 F1 season.
The old engine was ditched as BMW's engineers couldn't squeeze any more horsepower out of it.
