The old Z4 M might not be the perfect drifting machine, but it comes from an era when M cars really were all about lightness. Launched in 2006, it's powered by the same 3.2-liter inline-six as the E46, providing 343 horsepower at 7,900rpm for 0 to 100 km/h in 5 seconds.
Cool, right? Except this one is even cooler. Because of the whole *cough* Nazi affiliation *cough*, manly people have tried to turn M cars into Panzer tanks from World War II. But is the first time somebody has tried a fighter from that era.
The inspiration for this very detailed paint job is a Focke-Wulf 190A, one of the most competent fighters in Hitler's arsenal. A Russian tuning company called RTC is responsible for this machine and they also bested the Z4 M with Brembo brakes, Lambo doors and a new sound system from Sinfoni. A completely refurbished interior has a real wolf skin as its major highlight.
You want a BMW connection with that? No problem. When the war started, BMW switched from making quick cars to aircraft engines. The 190A was powered by BMW 801 C-1 engine, rated at 1,700 PS (1,677 hp, 1,250 kW) at takeoff. It was a radial engine that was complicated to make and quite expensive, so only the top airmen piloted Focke-Wulfs.
When it entered service in 1941, it proved to be a superior machine in almost all aspects to the British Spitfires, especially at low and medium altitudes. The more powerful engine meant heavy cannons and later even rocket mortars could be carried. During the Battle of Britain, the Luftwaffe shot down 5 enemy aircraft for every Focke-Wulf 190 lost.
