Overview
The M3 Racing Console was designed to incorporate the functionality of the original BMW racing switch panel from the renowned E46 GTR. It's engineered for installation into the stock E46 dashboard with minimal modifications while delivering a sleek, useful, and professional fit.
Challenges
While transforming my old E46 M3 into an IMSA Cup racecar, I needed a solution for installing driver-accessible controls. I set out to address five key issues: reachability, lighting, power consolidation, maintaining a clean appearance, and ensuring easy removal/installation.
The Result
Designed for easy access while the driver is secured in a 6-point harness, this console ensures unobstructed shifting. It features an integrated fuse block for seamless accessory power and a low-light orange LED that illuminates the cabin during night races without causing glare.
