Default M3 Mini

http://www.supercars.net/cars/2002@$Qvick@$Mini%20Cooper%20S3g.html

Team Qvick has created the ultimate Mini to take on the Belcar seres, Belgium's Endurance Championship. Under the rules, teams are allowed to replace the engines with any other engine from the same manufacturer, provided it resides in the same engine bay. Having experience with E36 M3 racing, Qvick could resist using the M3 powerplant within the small car. Much of the car has been heavily modified to adapt the much larger engine and rear-wheel drive configuration.

Keep in mind E36 M3, not E46 M3....

The official release date of the E36 3.0 M3 was October 93, BMW-Motorsport borrowed the engine from the 24 valve 325, it was bored out and fitted with a steel billet crank to 2956cc, the head was fitted with larger valves and BMW's Single Vanos (variable valve timing system), the engine power was up to 286bhp and 235ftlb of peak torque was available from 3600rpm to 5900rpm some 1300 revs short of the 7200rpm rev limit.

But still, it sure would be fun to flog around the track!!!
