I thought they withdrew that car from all races because it wasn't conform the rules.

wasnt it because they dont mass produce the m3 with a v8 in it? i heard something along the lines of that.

Apparently not!!

In 2002 they withdrew from the GT class races because they couldn't comply with the rules. First of which being that M3's with V8 blocks weren't concidered as production cars according to the new 2002 regulations.

Like you said, there probably were some prototypes around but BMW never entered those into the races.
