BMW E36 M3 LTW
Every once in a while, a unique car graces the compounds of Rogue Engineering. In this case, it's a 1995 BMW M3 LTW, one of just 120 ever produced. This one in particular, is unique in that it only has 11,000 original miles. When it arrived at Rogue Engineering, its modification list consisted of an aftermarket exhaust, suspension alignment changes, and track pads.
Over the course of the next few weeks, Rogue Engineering has been commissioned to transform this already unique vehicle into a naturally aspirated monster. Some of the plans for this beautiful example of a very rare car include, but no limited to:
Schrick cams, 24# injectors, Euro HFM, Eurosport Intake and Jim Conforti software Rogue Engineering LTW Flywheel and Carbon/Kevlar Clutch Disc Rogue Engineering OCTANE short shift kit Rogue Engineering Transmission Mounts Rogue Engineering Power Pulleys Rogue Engineering Finned Differential Cover Rogue Engineering Adjustable Rear Control Arms European spec, emissions legal exhaust system (including headers, cats, exhaust) Michelin Pilot Sport MXX3s 255/40ZR17s added to the rear Custom ram air intake duct Adjustable 22mm rear swaybar with reinforced bushing brackets Updated E36 M3 Rear Trailing Arm Bushings StopTech Stainless Steel Brake Lines BMW Motorsport Floating Front Rotors/BMW Factory Rear Rotors Axxis Brake Pads
Imagine all of the doable, bolt-on modifications available for an E36 M3 today and do it all AT ONCE!
At only 2950 lbs. (1/2 tank of gas), this LTW is close to 300 lbs. lighter than a stock US M3. After more than 300 crank HP, it will definitely NOT be a typical M3 Lightweight.
Stay tuned as you follow the progress of this unique and rare project unfold.
UPDATE! March 2013! After 10 years, this vehicle has returned to Rogue Engineering for some more attention to detail! After this time, it has more maintenance that was completed.
Install factory GT Oil Pan (was actually Euro oil pan), TIG weld oil pump nut on Install all new power steering hoses (they definitely leak after 10+ years!) Rogue Engineering Front Control Arm Bushings Rogue Engineering Rear Trailing Arm Bushings
Now the car is ready for the street or track!
