Made for: xm_bmw_m3e46gtr_gt2

After months of working on this project I feel like I can finally release it to the public. Samples/recordings were really hard to come by so it's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but the character of the sound is there. I do plan however on updating it if/when I find new sources.

I've also included a data file that removes automatic throttle blipping since the real GTR didn't have that, totally optional adjustment.

Disclaimer: In order to get the upshifts to sound right (and since I'm not a physics modder) I'd recommend you either clutch in while keeping the throttle pressed when upshifting or you ignore clutching altogether and just let go of the throttle quickly when upshifting (this is harder to get right but with some practice it worked for me), heel-toe when downshifting always. The latter is actually how the gearbox worked in the real GTR.

Let me know your thoughts and be sure to leave a review! By all means use it in your videos, just make sure to give me credit and link to this mod page, thanks! :)

Big thanks to Turbo Afterlife Bros (for good feedback during the early stages of development), Binar Yustanto (for a lot of the external sounds/reference videos) and BMW Genius Videos (for the internal engine sounds).

I really like how the mod looks but as soon as I want to integrate it in Contenet Manager it cant find any file. Can someone help?
This is wild man!!! Finally a sound this legendary car deserves! You are a wizard!
2 WORDS ... TOTAL BLISS

THANKS
Really well done, however for some reason the gear shifts are one too higher than what they should be? Like for example

Gear 3 sounds like Gear 4 and Gear 5 sounds like Gear 6 if that makes sense? It's been a good while since I actually watched that one video of the M3 GTR but hey, I could always be wrong.

Thanks for the review! By gears do you mean the transmission sounds? If yes that's already on my list for the next update ;)

If you mean something else could you explain further what you mean in the discussions tab? Thanks!
Seriously, thank you. Amazing mod!
loved it
Amazing mod. Sounds are really accurate.
Wonderful! Btw, If You have spare time or You want to do it, Could You make the sound from NFS MW? It's a sound of childhood and sound that attached me to the cars :D

Thanks for the 5 stars!

In a perfect world: yes, since it's also the sound of my childhood. However, there's still lots to improve with this version and the MW (or VLN) version has even less sources. So to answer your question: I'll never say never but the chance is not very high.
good afternoon, can anyone do this for GTR2?
Thank you for taking the time to create such a masterpiece. As a BMW enthusiast, I will really enjoy this mod and thanks again for releasing the sound mod to the public.
Good work, love it.
amazing mod, please bring more sound mods, you're very good

Excellent, I've been waiting a long time for an updated sound mod of this car. Congratulations on the beautiful work.
Very good work.
Exhaust sound is 10/10

Intake sound is 10/10 (for the 2001 version of the engine)
If it was made for the 2003-2005 version, maybe 6/10, the intake should be a bit clearer/sharper in sound.

Transmission sounds are 6/10. The whine is great, but it sounds a bit muffled, needs to be sharper and clearer. There isn't any drivetrain noise when taking off from 0, which all racecars have. But I really love the gear clunks 10/10.

Needs to have a redline revving sound for intake and exhaust, which doesn't seem to be there with 100% engine limiter.

Would be nice to hear more of an engine/throttle cut when upshifting, would make it 10/10.

Brake squeal should be a little louder, but the sound is on point 9.9/10

Lastly, the audio should fade away/lower as the car gets further away like +500m. I could hear it very loudly from alot of places when it was kilometers away on spa, nurb and monza.

Overall, VERY GOOD sound mod I LOVE IT
