The First M3 E92 in the World by Mtuning & Slide – A Breakthrough in the World of Drifting

In the automotive world, there is a constant need to push boundaries – both technically and visually. Mtuning, a company operating in the tuning parts market for almost 20 years, has once again proven that creativity and courage in executing ambitious projects can open new paths. Their latest creation – three unique BMW M3 E92 models, developed in collaboration with Slide – are machines designed specifically for motorsport, particularly drifting, which has become a national motorsport in many countries.

Mtuning – The Foundations of Success

For years, Mtuning has enjoyed a strong reputation as a supplier of high-quality tuning parts, both in Poland and internationally. Thanks to extensive experience and a deep understanding of customer needs, Mtuning has become one of the leaders in the automotive e-commerce industry. However, success in online sales was only the first step. The CEO of Mtuning always envisioned something bigger – a project to prove that the company could not only deliver products but also create exceptional vehicles. Thus, the idea was born to build three identical BMW M3 E92 cars that would revolutionize the drifting scene.

Not Just Another Boring E92 – A Revolution Under the Hood

For many car enthusiasts, the BMW M3 E92 needs no introduction. However, Mtuning decided to take a radical step, elevating this model to an entirely new level. Under the hood of these unique cars lie LT GEN V engines – the latest generation of LS engines. While based on a design known from classic Chevrolets, these engines were thoroughly modernized using cutting-edge technologies.

In their stock form, these engines produced 440 HP and 550 Nm of torque, thanks to direct fuel injection and variable valve timing. However, adapting these units to the M3 E92 body for drifting posed a true challenge. After consultations with American specialists, Mtuning was told the project was impossible to execute. This only motivated the Mtuning team to make it happen.

Modifications Fit for Drift Champions

Preparing the engines for drifting competition required significant modifications to enhance their performance. With the help of Texas Speed, the powertrains underwent a Stage 1 upgrade package, which included:

• Reinforced pushrods and rocker arms,
• High-performance camshaft,
• Enhanced intake manifold flow,
• Reinforced valve springs.

Thanks to these changes, each engine delivered an impressive 550 HP and 700 Nm of torque, accessible across almost the entire RPM range. These powertrains proved to be perfectly suited for the extreme demands of drifting competitions.

Chassis and Suspension – Perfection in Every Detail

Power alone isn’t everything. To ensure the best performance on the track, the BMW M3 E92 bodies were thoroughly redesigned. The cars were fitted with carefully selected components to allow precise control during drifting maneuvers. The result was machines capable of competing at the highest level in most European drifting leagues.

Not only professionals but also amateur drivers had the opportunity to test these cars, and their feedback was unanimous – Mtuning created extraordinary vehicles that set a new standard in the drifting world.

Slide – Beauty Hidden Within

While Mtuning focused on the technical aspects of the vehicles, Slide ensured that the interiors of the BMW M3 E92 models were just as impressive as their performance. The cabins were equipped with fully carbon-fiber elements, including:

• Door panels,
• Center console,
• Dashboard.

These details not only gave the interiors a sporty character but also became Slide’s hallmark in the drifting community. Combined with Slide racing seats, the carbon interiors formed a harmonious whole, impressing both in terms of aesthetics and functionality.

What Makes This Project Special?

The Mtuning & Slide project is not just a demonstration of technological capabilities but also proof that passion and boldness in pursuing unconventional ideas can lead to something truly extraordinary. These three unique BMW M3 E92 cars are not just another set of drifting vehicles – they are a manifesto of a new approach to tuning and motorsport. By combining advanced engineering, exceptional design, and meticulous attention to detail, Mtuning and Slide created vehicles that will remain memorable for car enthusiasts for years to come.

These machines show that limits in the world of tuning exist only to be surpassed. If you’d like to learn more about this project or explore the range of products from Mtuning and Slide, visit slide.com.pl and discover what else they’ve prepared for automotive enthusiasts.
