A blurb about this car from BMW Motorsport's website:

BMW Motorsport Director Mario Theissen calls it "the most extreme M3 of all time". Hans-Joachim Stuck respectfully acknowledges: "I have never in my life driven the Nordschleife of the Nürburgring in a more fascinating car.”

The car they are talking about is the BMW M3 GTR. Initially, BMW Motorsport designs the GT coupe with a specifically designed chassis, aerodynamic optimisations and a special lightweight construction for use in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS). And in its 2001 debut season, the BMW M3 GTR instantly triumphs in all categories. The M3 wins seven out of ten races in the GT category and BMW driver Jörg Müller wins the Drivers’ Championship. BMW Motorsport takes first place in the team classification and BMW wins the Constructors’ Championship in the most important foreign market of the company.

This is, however, only the start to a long history of success. The 4-litre V8 engine of the BMW M3 GTR holds enormous power reserves and proves to be extremely reliable during its performances in the USA. Therefore, it comes as no surprise when BMW decides to use the impressive racing machine on the arguably most difficult long-distance tracks in Europe, the German Nürburgring-Nordschleife and Spa-Francorchamps.

And BMW manages to continue its success story with the M3 GTR here as well. In 2004 and 2005, Team BMW Motorsport celebrates two unprecedented one-two victories in a row at the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring. The BMW M3 GTR has therefore deserved a special place in the successful motorsport history of BMW on these legendary tracks.

Dare I ask what the target is for Project Nuerburgring?

Dare I ask what the target is for Project Nuerburgring?

Uh...

to create a cool-sounding name for the M3 GTR tune 

[Spiny Anteater]

Guess I asked for that And here was me hoping it was going to be something like "Get it below 7min20 on the 'Ring" or something like that.

[bimmerlovere39]

Nah...

I just wanted to get around to tuning one of my favoite cars from real life

Heh. 

Isn't that you with the 7:07 in this car at The Ring?

[bimmerlovere39]

Well... yes, I guess it is 

I didn't realize I put in a lap that was THAT fast! 

[bimmerlovere39]

Not to toot my own horn, but it turns out that the time I put in to the Nurburgring Exhibition race with this car was good for 22^nd    I'm the fastest M3-GTR for that race!

EEK!  That just made my day! 

The 7:07 is also the 42^nd fastest no-assist R3 lap on the ring    If I can pull myself away from GTAIV (once it arrives), I may make a serious run at a top 10 among no assist R3 laps...

I was using the M3-GTR for the Hot Lap Challenge, you should see how this tune performs.  I got a 7:02 with the tune I have now, it is quite different then the tune you listed here. 

I'm still adjusting to the lack of ABS and my lap had lots of tire spinning in it, so i think a sub-7 minute is possible.  And the 2nd fastest time in the HLC is in the M3-GTR also!
