BMW M3 – LIME ROCK PARK EDITION
The Lime Rock Park M3 as compared to the “garden variety” M3 coupe goes beyond mere cosmetics.
Boasting balanced, linear driving dynamics that couple with a swift-shifting six-speed
manual gearbox, the Lime Rock Edition car seems “perfectly geared” for the race
circuit.
The vehicle is the result of a collaboration between BMW and Lime Rock Park, paying homage
to the relationship and synergy between the BMW brand, the famed racing circuit.
Consider, for a moment, the roaring 4.0-liter V8 power-plant which sits just forward of
the driver and that churns out some 414 heart-pounding horsepower and 295 pound-feet of stump-tugging
torque.
The car’s 3900 RPM torque peak is easily accessible via the S65 V8.
The Lime Rock Park’s approximate $70,000 (U.S.) price tag includes the M3’s coveted
$2500 Competition Package that adds BMW’s Dynamic Damper Control, a lowered suspension
and a set of 19-inch Y-spoke rims wrapped in sticky Pirelli tires.
