E46 M3 Pikes Peak
Build Series

The E46 M3 Pikes Peak project begins with a complete transformation focused on reliability, power, and cooling for one of the world's toughest motorsport events. Follow the early stages of the build, including a motorsport-grade rewire, supercharged S54 engine, custom cooling system, active suspension, and the car's first fire-up and dyno session.

With the foundation in place, attention turns to maximizing cooling efficiency and airflow throughout the E46 M3. From hood venting and intercooler ducting to supercharger air inlet improvements and continued fabrication, each upgrade brings the car one step closer to handling the extreme demands of Pikes Peak.

As testing ramps up, the E46 M3 faces its biggest challenge yet with a catastrophic engine failure. The team responds by upgrading to a fully built S54, sequential gearbox, and race-proven drivetrain before putting the car through intensive track testing to prepare for Pikes Peak.
