I'm a big believer in the "butt dyno." For those who know me, it's no secret how much I love these BMW M3 Lightweights (LTW/CSL). For so long they were over-looked by everyone. I still think they're misunderstood by most. Many simply thought it was a marketing gimmick by BMW to sell a few more stripped out M3s. They couldn't be more misinformed. These were one of the few European cars that were actually homologated for a U.S. racing series. In fact, I can't think of another. However, since 1974, the U.S. market has always gotten the short end of the stick when it came to the truly great European engines. One of the best power plants to come out of Europe in the 1990's was the BMW Group N/S50B32. To many, this is as confusing as reading ingredients on vegan/paleo energy bar. However, to those who know, this is the holy grail of straight 6 cylinder engines. The glorious sound from the individual throttle bodies is the soundtrack of angels. This M3 LTW example is the merging of the best BMW and best engine from that era. 1995 #BMWM3LTW #BMWE36M3 #BMWE36M3LTW #BMWM3CSL #PTG #GroupN #S50B32 https://www.instagram.com/p/B7n7aa6gJGq/?igshid=isjj7tr82w3k

Last drive of the decade. . . It couldn’t have been more perfect. Great weather, new roads, and the best company. I’m not a fan of the whole New Years resolution game. However, if there is one thing, it is to savor the time with my family and friends. #bmwe36m3ltw #latortuga🐢 (at Twisty Roads) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6rFenaguIt/?igshid=jpk36qcklsln

Another chapter in the #dontfollowme series. I convinced @joshsince79 & @lynnreuel to “try” this short dirt trail. I’m pretty sure this the first time a #bmwe36m3LTW has gone off road 😬. What a trooper. Send me the detail bill 😆. #whatarefriendsfor 🧡💙 . #bmwm3 #bmwcca #bmw (at Mount Laguna, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEh1z-3AVMx/?igshid=1i6eyfnw910c
