3.0l Euro Engine:
The car is powered by a 3.0l euro engine that was salvaged from a right hand wreck in England.  The 3.0l euro motor was chosen for its reliability, power and flexibility.  The stock 3.0l euro motor is rated at 286hp @7000 rpm and 236lb of torque at 3600rpm.  This motor can be easily tuned to rival or exceed the performance of the later 3.2l euro motor through the addition of cams and appropriate software programming.

Parts:
3.2l Intake horns
Description: The GT horns (left) are shorter and wider than the stock horns (right).
Benefits: Most BMW engines suffer from restricted intakes.  The euro 3.0l engine was no exception.  The GT version of the engine used these horns to help improve the output (about 10 horsepower).  These horns became the stock horns on the euro 3.2l engine.  The part numbers for these horns are the same for the 3.0l euro GT engine and the later 3.2l stock euro engine.
Parts: (2) 13 54 1 404 637 Cylinder 1, 3
(1) 13 54 1 404 638 Cylinder 5
(3) 13 54 1 404 639 Cylinder 2, 4, 6

 
LTW/GT Oil Pan
Description: A baffled oil pan with support for dual oil pickup.
Benefits: Under hard cornering oil tends to pool from one side of the oil pan to another.  This can leave leave the oil pickup point dry.  If this happens the oil pump runs dry and oil is not pumped to the head of the engine.  Frequent occurrences can cause the engine to fatally overheat.  The GT oil pan has baffles cast into the pan as well as support for two pump pickup points so that oil can be drawn by the pump no matter which side the oil has pooled in.
LTW/GT Dual pickup oil pump
Description: The GT oil pump is radically different than the stock pump as it has two oil pickups instead of just one.
Benefits: The dual pickup points (in conjunction with the GT oil pan allow the pump to draw oil no matter which side of the oil pan the oil may have pooled in.
Oil distribution block
Description: The block mounts on the oil filter housing and provides multiple threaded ports for the addition of various sending devices.  This multi-port block was needed to isolate and support an oil pressure sensor for the Stack instrument cluster.
Benefits: The block allows you to easily add sending devices for oil pressure and temperature
Group N motor mounts
Description: The Group N motor mounts are 20 percent firmer than the stock motor mounts.
Benefits: The firmer motor mounts offer several benefits.  Less torque is transferred to the drive train vs. being absorbed by the softer motor mounts.  The engine will lean less during turns reducing delayed weight transfer.
Wheel Speed Signal Emulator
Description: Wheel speed signal Emulator
Benefits: The stock instrument cluster translates the wheel speed sensor and sends the modified signal to the ECU.  If the ECU does not receive a valid signal the ECU defaults to the "Secure Mode" limiting engine performance.
