Imagine you could have Arnold Schwarzenegger’s strength (when he was young, of course) inside the body of a gymnast. Got it? What would it be like? Pretty impressive, right?
That’s exactly how this BMW E36 3 Series is. Somehow, some crazy tuning (and I’m guessing drifting) enthusiasts managed to squeeze a 4-liter V8 S65 engine inside the body of a 3er and made it work.

Now, you have a 420 HP engine on a sub 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs) car and things are about to get ludicrous. Come to think of it, this is the sort of car all those diehard fans of the M division have been dreaming about for quite a while now, not knowing just how hard it would be to control it on the street.

Luckily, the driver that got behind the wheel of this beast appears to know what he’s doing and, despite driving it on a public road, manages to control that rear axle quite well. Check it out!
