Mitchell Race Xtreme<\/a> (MRX) is building a BMW E36 “M3X” race car at their company in New Zealand. The company has sorted most of the tubular chassis and supports. The car will be powered by a S85 V10 from a BMW M5 exhaling through custom side-exit exhaust. Behind the motor will sits a Holinger RD6 sequential transmission and Winters\/Sikky quick-change independent rear end. The company is reducing weight by using a Flo\u00dfmann Auto Design<\/a> carbon fiber body kit and are widening it to cover the GT3-spec tires. Follow the progress on @mrx_nz<\/a>.<\/p>\n
