The car you're about to see here was purposely built to tear through tires as fast as possible. At least that's what you get from the video.
Starting out as a basic 1 Series (not even a 1M), this car ended up having 800 WHP, a number way beyond anyone's imagination, especially when the Bimmer weighs only a little over a tone.

The first thing that was done to it was strip it down to its shell that was later fitted with a WRC FIA roll cage to make sure nobody dies. After that the party started with  front and rear E92 M3 subframes, custom K-Sport E92 M3 coil overs and a K-Sport big brake kit.

After that it was time to make sure the car was good enough to drive from the inside. The interior was completely stripped being replaced by 2 Sparco seats, OMP wheel, carbon dash and an LCD display. A hydraulic brake was also installed and a custom pedal box.

The whole exterior was made out of carbon fibre with a menacing look resembling the 1M Coupe. The doors are made out of fiberglass and the hood is made out of carbon fibre alongside the roof and the inner fenders. The whole thing was then painted blue.

The engine…. The engine comes from the E46 M3, a S54B32 that was turbocharged into oblivion. Now, the car has 800 WHP and will go through tires like butter. Just as a quick listing, the S54 has:
  • Fully forged block internals , CP pistons, H rods, ARPs ++
  • Stock cylinder head w/blocked and removed VANOS
  • PPF S38 turbo tubular manifold with S54 flange
  • Homemade aluminum 5mm plenum
  • Turboservice T4 SX1000 turbo
  • Megasquirt EMS
Impressed yet? No? Check out the video and the gallery then, we'll talk later.
