Sounds like short of the auto tranny thing and the wire mesh, they might be legal for STU based on Greg's references.

Good point. Engines are 2499cc, so STU weight would be 2750#, no additions for RWD. Pro3 weight is 2650, so 100# more ballast.
And there's no 1/4" mesh limit in STU (in fact, you're allowed to cover grill openings).
And I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess no one runs the automatic transmission.
So, other than +100#, they're compliant to STU.
- GA
Edit: oops, cage. STU requires a lateral dash brace. Pro3 regs require IT- or GT-compliant cages, and the former does not require a lateral dash brace.
so GT cage + 100# = STU compliant
if IT cage then must conform to IT rules, then adjust to IT weight and it's STU compliant.
right?
ITS is okay if they also meet all the IT rules. Based on Greg's list comparing allowances above and beyond ITCS:
- the battery has not been moved or replaced with non-oem style battery.
- Wire mesh screens with a minimum opening 1/4"
- OEM flywheel is used
- Stock manual transmission is used with no shift linkage modifications
- Engine, transmission, and rear differential mounting material meet IT rules
- Power steering components are not disabled or removed
Did I miss anything?

You miss me. But, with practice, your aim will improve.

PRO 3 is not actually a BMW CCA Club Racing Class, it's a regional thing in the Pac NW.
If they ran in the BMW club they would go in that org's KS, or K-Sport class.
my understanding is - gut the car, can't open the engine. you can play with shocks. DOT ri In other words, they would be back markers in ITS and extremely far from competitive in STU - but they should be eligible for STU and be able to participate in the Majors/Super Tours/Runoffs.
I would plug them in under the STU alternate vehicle allowances table and let them run at 2650# under their Pro3 rules except that tire brand would not be restricted, and of course they have to meet STU safety requirements like dash bars.
