When Your BMW M3 Gets Hungry, Feed It a Burger
BMW M3 fitted with a full exhaust and optimized by Burger Motorsports is an absolute riot.
When you’re visiting Texas, you need a car that can eat up straight roads for miles on end. In this case, the above video’s host, Jason Connor, borrowed an F80 M3 with a few extra goodies installed. It’s been fitted with a full exhaust treatment with Active Autowerke downpipes and catalyst-back muffler. That exhaust has been optimized with a Burger Motorsports JB4 tune, allegedly to the tune of 480 rear-wheel horsepower. It’s fast. Possibly too much for the strangely rainy day that we see in the video.
Fresh out of the box, as it sits on the showroom floor, BMW’s M3 offers a really great chassis. The owner of this car determined that he didn’t need to do any work on the suspension or the brakes. Being in Texas with roads that generally lack curves, we’re on board with that decision. We certainly wouldn’t want an M3 to be any stiffer than BMW already makes it. And those big factory rotors are more than capable of slowing this heavy beast down to zero, though we might opt for a more aggressive brake pad material, especially if we were taking the car to a track day.

Either way though, as a complete package, this tuned BMW sounds like a lot of fun. The BMW M3 is already a darn good sporting sedan, but with a little help, it has realized even more of its potential. You’ve got to go big when you’re in Texas, after all, and nearly 500 horsepower to the ground is a great way to do that.
Boy, we’re just not sure about that raspy exhaust note, though. What do you think? Sound off in the forums.
