It has always been BMW'south trademark to produce the best, most sophisticated, naturally aspirated motors in the globe, and these ability plants have been winning Engine of the Year awards for the longest time.

At RDSport we have always believed that our engines should match the configuration of the BMW motor that nosotros set out to modify, as this is the simply manner to retain the true grapheme of the car, and provide a product that matches the reliability of the original motor.

The RS46 is truly the motor that BMW should take installed in the M3 in the beginning place: massive torque, baking acceleration, and operation that puts many sports cars to shame.

Its engine internals are made from the highest quality materials, and could easily withstand the rigors of Formula One. In fact, if you were to compare the piston of an RS46 to that of an F1 motor of only a few seasons past, you would notice how shut the 2 really are.
New engine internals include larger, forged, light-weight, aluminum pistons, forged, barracks connecting rods and new barracks crankshaft with a longer stroke. All of these parts equate to a larger displacement 4.6 liter motor, up from the factory 4.0 liter.

Options for the motor include carbon air box, larger-displacement, carbon plenum chamber, power pulley, lightweight clutch and flywheel. The result is an astonishing 524 bhp and an increase of 115 ft-lbs of torque over stock!

The RDSport front bumper is available in Stradale (Street – shown) or Corsa (Race) versions. Each is a consummate bumper replacement made of carbon/Kevlar and contains larger ducting for brake and engine cooling.

The RDSport rear bumper features a carbon fiber/meshed diffuser department that allows for more weight saving and gives the aggressive rear that the RS46 deserves. The unit is a full replacement fascia of the original. Again to match the front and salve weight the slice is constructed entirely carbon/Kevlar mat, which is extremely light and impact resistant. RDSport aero parts can also be fitted with the factory PDC sensors.

Also bachelor are trunk and roof spoilers to shine the airflow leaving the vehicle and help in stability.
The RS46 is equipped with the RDSport Chassis kit consisting of specially valved Bilstein shocks and RDSport Springs.

The shocks and springs are designed to work together beautifully and provide an extremely stable ride without whatsoever harshness. This optimized set up-upwardly was fabricated available only afterward thousands of testing and development miles.
The RDSport RS Brake System consists of 6-piston, aluminum monoblock calipers on the front end and iv-piston monoblock calipers in the rear. Customers have the option of ordering either cross-drilled or slotted rotors.

The center flange is machined out of a heat-treated 6061-T6 forging. Each one goes through vi dissimilar machining operations totaling no less than 8 hours on our CNC equipment. The result is a stunning sculpture of incredible strength and lightness, with design details that are unique to this product and cannot be plant on any other forged bike in the marketplace today. Due to the custom build of each wheel in that location is an endless selection of color options and finishes.
Optionally, RDSport offers the RC8 Forged Monobloc bicycle that offers the ultimate in lite weight functioning. RDSport recommends Pirelli tires.

Several interior options are bachelor from a unproblematic shift knob or pedal set to a complete Alcantara interior conversion.
