@patina.research The combination of straight cut gears and induction noise is one of the greatest sounds in history. I have always had a soft spot for these BMW 320i VLN spec race cars competing in the Nürburgring Endurance Series. The E90 WTCC cars usually get all the attention from that era, but I think these E46s absolutely hold their own.
