P60B40 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
the BMW Motorsport P60B40 was a very rare engine never mass produced only made for racing purpose s! It was designed by Albert Biermann "head of development for BMW's M and Individual divisions" it was built in less than six months. The Engine had its first debut in Sebring Florida for team Schnitzer Motorsport and PTG "Prototype Technology Group" at the American Le Mans Series. After a race Bill Auberlin was asked what he thought of the Uber M3 and he said "it is the best BMW M3 he has ever driven!" In 2001 the M3 powered by the P60B40 engine set new standards in the GT classification! BMW having clinched ten races with its P60B40 M3's the cars went on to win both the drivers and constructors championship. The P54B32 M3's also had healthy finishing times. ALMS homologation rules stated that cars must be for sale on 2 continents within 12 months of the regulations being issued, so BMW had some decisions to make. In the end BMW pulled out to retire the M3 GTR P60B40 choosing not to mass produce its Gem, the M3 GT P54B32 carried on dominating in the curves on the tracks but still lacking the agressive top end torque to get up to a high tops speed faster than the competition on the long straight away's.
The BMW M3 GTR E46 raced in the USA and in Europe winning many victories, PORSCHE contested the wins because BMW didn't make a V8 M3 E46 race car, yet! BMW M3 PTG cars had some of the P54 engines powering the race cars and the other cars that looked identical had the P60B40 engine. To the naked eye they looked the same on the exterior of the Factory P54B32 M3 Race cars.
So bringing us all up to speed the BMW P65-B40 is the code name for the new and improved BMW FACTORY RACE ENGINE of the New E92 V8 M3 that replaced the official M3 E46 P54B32 in-line six factory racing engine. The now cult engine everyone wants the P60B40 didn't get to race for more than 9 months here in the USA. BMW had a choice build a minimum of 12 street legal BWM m3 GTR's or withdraw the V8 M3GTR BMW did make 3 street legal BMW M3 GTR's that even had a modified front and rear bumper that looks like the same air scoop design as the factory race car minus the flared wheel arches. The hood was unique for the M3GTR P60-B40 and P54B32 because it was vented but not the same vented design was found on the ever so rare Factory Street car GTR M3. BMW Never mass produced it and canceled the project. No spare parts can be found except for what you see at a museum or by one private owner in Australia. The only factory race car M3 GTR's left here in the USA can be found at the MOBIL ONE TRADITION museum, they are not for sale and BMW AG would like them back and for some reason MOBIL ONE TRADITION won't sell them back to BMW AG.
The P65-B40 V8 is the engine you can now get your hands at Scottsdale Motorsports L.L.C. Scottsdale Motorsports LLC If you want to play BMW is the only way and it weighs less than the P54B32 inline six engine it replaces.
