So far no engine mods. It shouldn't need any to run 1:27 laps at Race City FYI, most stock E46 M3s dyno in the 270-280rwhp range on a Dynojet.

Ps- I want those brakes!!!!

Any truth to this regarding the M3 SMG Rob?

BMW’s Easter Egg A hidden feature launches the M3, but faster in Europe. There’s a cheat code in the software running the BMW M3’s sequential manual gearbox.(SMG) : Press the right buttons in the right order and the car will launch you from a stop after revving the engine to 5000 rpm. But don’t look for a how-to in the owners maunual. – this feature is undocumented, an inside joke of sorts. To our knowledge, it’s also the first automotive “Easter Egg”, though -with increasing reliance on computers it would seem just a matter of time before they become standard fare, much like the hidden features in PC games and DVD movies. In the M3’s case, there’s also good reason for it. The SMG transmission is completely electronic, so you can’t rev the engine and drop the clutch for tire smoking accelleration – something the owner of a performance sedan just might want to do occasionally. But theres a catch. In Europe, where the feature is less hush-hush, doing more than 15 launches voids the cars warranty. Laws here prohibit such specifications, so BMW has turned down the wick. The North American spec cars are programmed to wind up to 2500 rpm. (You might be able to get the dealer to install the European programming) For lucky drivers of this car here how: Switch off the stability system and select shift program 6. Switch the engine to sports mode. With the hand shifter in drive, hold it in the downshift position and press the gas pedal. The engine will rev to the programmed rpm and hold. Now release the shifter. The car will launch forward violently and the engine’s revs will climb quickly, so be prepared to upshift. Above all, if your transmission implodes, you didn’t hear it from us.

It is possible to put them cat into "launch mode" but I haven't tried it. Even on an SMG car, when you plant your foot from a stop it will bring up the revs and do a nice little burn-out. I don't know why you'd need/want more wheelspin...unless you about to visit my shop for new tires

Voodoo, are you talking 1/4 mile or lap time?

Oh ya sorry Rob, I meant 1/4 just out of curiosity.
