Bulgarian tuner Vilner likes to take certain automotive creations, newer or older, and give them a new identity, getting into tiniest of details. Sometimes they get it right, while on other occasions the results are more questionable. However, their latest project, called Bullshark, seems to have crossed the overkill border.
This is a completely restyled E63 BMW 6-Series Coupe (pre-facelift). The vehicle looks interesting, but when you get close to it and notice it’s made out of bits and pieces such as Infiniti FX headlights, the first impression simply fades away.
The front fascia, rear bumper, side skirts and mirror caps come in a carbon fiber finish. In fact, an incredibly long number of panels have been restyled. For example, the turn signals take inspiration from the Z4, while the taillights come from the revamped version of the 6-Series. The BMW 6 Series Bullshark rides on 19-inch Z Performance alloy wheels.
However, the interior is much better, as Vilner has worked its plush material magic inside the cabin. The steering wheel, gearshift lever and dashboard instruments are custom. What’s more, leather and Alcantara cover the entire cabin - even the rear-view mirror uses a leather finish. What’s more, Vilner installed a Ground Zero audio system.
As for the 4.4-liter V8, this received AC Schnitzer upgrades, being taken from 333 HP and 332 lb-ft (450 Nm) to 370 HP and 552 Nm (385 lb-ft).
