Based in Australia, Queen St are best known for building custom show cars, but their love of drag racing led them to create cars that could do both. This is actually the third BMW drag/show car that they have built. In 2003 they campaigned an E36 before replacing it a few years later with an E46. When the E46 was damaged in New Zealand, it was stripped down and rebuilt into what you see here. While its predecessors both featured bright candy paint, Queen St kept this one ominous, painting it in a House of Kolor black with gold pearl.
It's hard to imagine that a car like this will ever turn a wheel in anger. Indeed, Queen St received plenty of criticism with their previous BMW drag cars. When owner Moey debuted their first E36 drag car, critics dismissed it as never being able to crank, let alone run down the quarter mile. However, the naysayers were proved well and truly wrong with the E36 setting a personal best of 7.1 @ 197mph. The old version of this E46 holds a PB of 7.2 @ 196mph.
Having learnt a lot from the first two BMW builds, Queen St are confident this will be their fastest yet. And in spite of all that gold, the BMW is actually 200kg (440lb) lighter than the previous version. Before being gold-plated, the quad rotor was assembled and run on an engine dyno, producing a power figure of 1664hp. While quad rotors were developed by Mazda quite some time ago (the first prototype was in the '60s and in the '80s Mazda used them in the legendary 767 race cars), this is a custom bridgeport using a billet eccentric shaft and lightened Series IV rotors.
Like the two BMWs before it, this M3 will spend the rest of its first year completing a national tour of car shows. Next year however, it will do what it's been built for: to race down the 1320.
