2002 Bmw Race Ready M3 E46 Horsepowerfreaks Turbo on 2040-cars
Lake Oswego, Oregon, United States
|
Here is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own the history and legacy of Horsepower Freaks at a fraction of the cost. In the past year the car has only been tracked once. Well over $150k has been invested in this vehicle. This is the same vehicle that has been on the covers of multiple magazines throughout the years.
BIO: "The E46 M3 was reinvented by Horsepower Freaks with a completely new approach to power and style. The elaborate body kit was designed by Perry from Asuka Design to deliver a low coefficient of drag, plenty of down-force and stunning looks. Everything from the front bumper to the rear bumper was painted with Standox paint including the roll-cage, engine, and interior trim pieces. The car was stripped of several hundred pounds of excess weight thanks to HPF. Nearly 40 man hours were spent stripping the chassis harness of all non-essential items or swapping OEM stuff for lighter gear. Even with the added weight of the cage, wing, widebody and turbo kit the M3 weighed in at 3,127 lbs. With the driver in the driver's seat, the car now has near perfect 50:50 weight distribution. One of the most important aspects of every car built for the track is traction and loads of it. HPF chose VIP Modular for their extremely strong and lightweight wheels. The 19x10 and 19x13-inch wheels were custom built and feature a gloss black lip and matte finish on the center. VIP Modular even etched the letters "HPF" directly onto each wheel. Wrapped in Hoosier R6 265 slicks in the front and 325's in the rear all of the necessary traction is there. The handling was critical to this track beast and the parts were chosen wisely. HPF selected the OS Giken differential and improved acceleration exiting turns and increased durability. A set of KW Variant 3 coil-overs were chosen which provide dampening and rebound adjustment and the UUC lower control arms were used to add rigidity and adjustability. HPF took chassis tuning even further and installed their own front under brace to tie the front suspension points together. The entire chassis was dramatically stiffened with a custom gusseted roll-cage built and installed by Racetech Motorsports. The interior was stuffed with Sparco Circuit Pro race seats and RCI 5-point seat belts. HPF retained the factory dash and modified it to fit within the roll-cage constraints to keep the BMW feel. The steering wheel is a Vertex which easily disconnects from teh Rothsport Racing quick release hub. To monitor engine parameters, this beast was equipped with an AEM fuel pressure guage, AEM oil pressure gauge, AEM boost gauge, and an AEM wideband. Running the fully built HPF S54 engine, the block was bored and plateau-brushed using state of the art Sunnen equipment. It was then balanced and stuffed with HPF-spec pistons, rods, main studs, wrist pins, rings and bearings all done by M&B Cylinder Heads. The stock S54 head flow so well, that HPF didn't need to massage or modify the head or even the cams, but it did require ARP L19 studs to clamp it down. The S54 utilizes dual VANOS technology that allows HPF to position the camshafts + or - 20 degrees for every RPM and every boost level, giving all kinds of timing adjustability along with the drivability of a grocery getter. This vehicle was tailored specifically for the track with the HPF Stage 3 Turbo system that make well over 800rwhp when the button is pressed and 650rwhp when the button isn't pressed. The HPF Magic button is right by the steering wheel and switches maps when the driver wants an additional 150rwhp on those long straights to pass everyone and everything. To hold the power HPF turned to JDM manufacturer OS Giken and their triple clutch. As most of you know this car is the real deal. It has been on the cover of countless magazines. To feed the six-shooter, HPF installed twin Walboro 255lph fuel pumps in addition to the factory fuel pump. To maintain fuel pressure, AEM's high volume fuel pressure regulator was used which feeds fuel under pressure to HPF's fuel rail and into six RC Engineering 1200cc low impedance injectors. Okada projects plasma direct ignition coils store up spark energy and NGK racing spark plugs fire the intake air charge for each cylinder. The boost comes from a Precision dual ball-bearing billet wheel turbo running an .81 A/R. The turbo spools insanely quickly, yet still flows enough to make 800rwhp surprisingly well. This is achieved via computer controlled boost feedback through the HPF/AEM EMS system and the TiAL 44mm V-band wastegate. To vacate the intake system of pressure when the ITBs are closed, twin HKS Super Sequential BOV's were installed one directly in front of the intake manifold, and one directly after the turbo. To cool the intake charge a massive HPF intercooler was used which measures 24x12x4 inches with a 95-percent efficiency rating. All of this cool air is forced into the engine via the HPF flow benched "orange" intake manifold which equalizes air to all six cylinders. To keep everything tight under pressure, all of the silicon couplers were designed by HPF for precise fitment and they all utilize 5-layer silicone so the t-bolt clamps won't loosen up. To keep the engine cool during long track sessions, HPF installed the Active Autowerke mechanical fan which utilizes a stiffer clutch as the factory clutched fan will often slip during hard abuse. They also wired the air conditioning fan to stay on once the car is started and left the factory fan shroud in place to improve air flow through the radiator. To keep the oil cool, they designed an additional oil cooler that runs in series with the factory oil cooler." - Text by Dave Pankew of pasmag.com Brief breakdown Body and Wheels ---------------------- Asuka carbon fiber widebody (13" wider than factory)

Check out the trick way you access the tire valve on this BMW Alpina B6
Wed, 22 Oct 2014The wheels are one of the first things you notice when checking out the 2015 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe. The 20-inch aluminum alloy rollers have 21 spokes that spray out from their hubs, creating one of Alpina's signature design features. But there's also plenty of function to go along with the stylistic form of this hotted-up BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe.
By rotating the Alpina roundel and unlocking the center hub, you gain access to the tire valve and bolts, which are hidden inside. They're literally kept under lock and key, and they protect your Alpina's wheels from the elements and theft. This unique center-fill system employing a hollow spoke isn't a new setup for the favored BMW tuner, but since Autoblog had one in our offices this week, we thought we'd take the opportunity to show the unique mechanism in case you haven't seen it before. Check it out in our brief video below.
Bryant Gumbel and Katie Couric equate BMW i3 with the Internet
Mon, Jan 26 2015BMW fancies its new i3 electric car as something revolutionary – which, to be entirely honest, it is. But while we as automotive enthusiasts might know this, the general populous may not, which is why the German company is shelling out what is no doubt a substantial sum of money for a spot during this year's Super Bowl. Starring former Today Show hosts Katie Couric and Bryant Gumbel, the spot, called Newfangled Idea, focuses on another arguably misunderstood technology – the Internet. Starting with a now-humorous segment from 1994 that sees the pair discussing the then-new idea of the Internet – what does "@" mean? – Katie and Bryant then find themselves in an i3, asking very similar questions. Take a look at the video, up top, and then scroll below for the outtakes and a short behind-the-scenes segment from the clip. Related Video:
