Team Schirmer E90 GTR 7 minutes 13 seconds full lap of the Nordschleife

Steve Gill · 04-13-2010, 02:55 AM

Video

This is the Team Schirmer BMW E90 GTR S54 engine with 405bhp, 1225kg empty weight and drenth sequential 6 speed gearbox. This video is from the 5th November 2007, when it was dry, windy and 5 degrees track temperature. The purpose of the day was to test the car with different wing positions and damper settings.

The video was the 3rd lap of the day, the first proper lap once the tyres had been warmed up. We went on to alter the settings from here resulting in a fastest lap of 7.04 (unfortunately not on video). Incidentally, this was was the same day that Loaded did their laptime of 7.22 with their nearly 600bhp supercharged CSL.

This car won the last two RCN races in 2009 - wet and dry, beating one of the famous VLN Porsche.

The driver is Michael Funke, an ex Ford works driver who races for Team Schirmer in Germany. Michael will be attending some of the CSL Cup races in 2010 with this car.

Chewy734 · 04-13-2010, 09:24 AM

Wow... that's some impressive driving!

Javier · 04-13-2010, 09:38 AM

that's so fast, it's scary

blue2fire · 04-13-2010, 02:13 PM

So, this racing car is only 16 (or 25) seconds quicker than a GT-R?

Wow.

iBoost · 04-13-2010, 02:33 PM

Holy crap. He's flying through that track! AWESOME!

Bomis · 04-13-2010, 02:37 PM

MOTO69JOE · 04-13-2010, 02:52 PM

Cool vid. This was from last year and it was a flying lap. I thought it would be from the gates and not a rolling time, still impressive! I love that course. I'm lucky enough to live next to it.

That's a lot faster.. and the GT-R is a race car for the street.

this car doesnot have a N54 engine, but the S54, which is the 3.2 straight 6 engine from the E46 M3 / Z4M.

Oh I figured 's54' was their name for their tuned n54, my bad.

Easternedge · 04-13-2010, 06:30 PM

So... where is the "e90 GTR" part of this thread? e46 M3 GTR with s54. Am i missing something?!

marcel b · 04-13-2010, 06:33 PM

if you like that video, have a look at this:

you are right! I thought it was a E90 with a S54 engine (which could be as it has to do with the different classes in this raceseries. The N54 would come in the highest class I would emagine against Porsches etc. (because of the turbos) The S54 is more competitive in its class.) But when looking at their website / facebook, the have an E46. No clue why the call it E90....

Over 7 Minutes, doubt that. Any minor tweak like a retune will easily see the difference off.

About the GT-R, you make it sound like some Porsche GT3 RS. It has four seats, electronically adjusted and leather clad + a Bose stereo and navigation with plenty of sound deadening.
