its not the first but most powerful 4 door sedan there are lot of turbo ed m5 out there but i think the first bmw approved after market tuner.

EVO6 · 26th March 2007, 01:06

I checked the site... The place where the turbo is installed in quite unique... its near the tail pipe.. Someone care to share some light on this..

aniguchisan · 26th March 2007, 01:07

Stupidly expensive. Not worth it.

manikjeet · 26th March 2007, 01:13

Its expensive but i wouldn't mind it being our family sedan and having a laugh at the racer boy with his japanesse soap box racer when i drag him

v1p3r · 26th March 2007, 02:09

I'd rather buy an LP640.

This car is featured on the cover of BMW Car.. made for a great read. Its owned by a Ron Cash? I think... he has a company called Currency something and plans to test the car officially and then sell limited editions of it at $350,000. Hate the wheels ..typically american all chrome.. But the car has superb interiors. Dont know if the site has it. But the seats doors and steering wheel is lined with black Crocodile skin leather. Subtle but fabulous.

nitroxx · 26th March 2007, 14:24

the E60 itself is insane and then a turboed version man whats next? company tuned dry nitrous injection?wouldnt be a bad idea though..and what I love about that pic is the install man..clean as hell .. oh Ive got a pick of a honda civic with a supercharger in the under the bumper lemme see if i can find it I'll post it up.

aniguchisan · 26th March 2007, 15:47

Poor crocodile...but then again, I'd much rather be stitched forever within an M5, rather than being left to die in some godforsaken swamp. Still too expensive though.

Vid6639 · 26th March 2007, 16:03

yup florida crocodile and suede leather.

payam · 26th March 2007, 16:40

ooops man i didnt like the seats i like the exterior more
its expensive but just have a look at its modification stuff man superb
0-60 mile in 3.6 this is superb man i like it

the only thing that sucks is the wheels
awful choice of alloys

CHIP · 26th March 2007, 16:54

Look at that car i love it simple nice gangsta kind of look but pop the hood and bang you are a dead man hehehe

But i am not sure that M5 can accomodate 20 inches.....

v1p3r · 26th March 2007, 18:54
