Ash Burrows enjoys driving his BMW E46 M3 at the track. Unfortunately during one of those outings the S54 inline-six threw a rod. Ash sent the red coupe to Craig Taylor at DynoTorque<\/a> to fix the issue with more cylinders. <\/p>\n

In the engine bay DynoTorque swapped a 6.2 L LS3 V8 making 550 horsepower. The motor features a Texas Speed Stage 4 camshaft, Comp Cams springs and titanium retainers, FAST intake manifold, and custom stainless steel exhaust by DynoTorque. The motor runs on an Emerald ECU. <\/p>\n

DynoTorque also swapped the factory BMW transmission for a TR6060 six-speed manual transmission with a LS7 clutch. It features a cooler to help with those track days. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a custom driveshaft. <\/p>\n

The car’s handling is improved thanks to KW V3 shocks, Tom Schirmer springs, and Powerflex bushings. While a set of AP Racing Pro 5000R calipers and 368 mm rotors hide behind Eneki NT03 wheels (18×10). Read more details on the car in Speedhunters’ article<\/a>. <\/p>\n
