Like the Bavarian styling but also the Japanese performance? Then why not buy this 2001 BMW M5 that wears an Asian heart?
The reason for the engine swap? Owner Ed Mui explains that he wanted more power than the 395 hp 4.9-liter V8 offered. But he also wanted at a lower cost.
So he dropped it and made room for a 2JZ-GTE straight from a Supra. Of course, the six-cylinder got highly tuned, now wearing HKS 264 cams, a Garret GT35R turbo, ARP studs and mains, 550 cc injectors and a whole lot of goodies.
The body remained pretty stock, but it has some few extras, like a carbon fiber front lip, fiberglass vented hood and AngeliBright V3 angel eyes.
This Supra-powered M5 got posted on BimmerForums and the owner wants $22,000 for it. So go there for more details.
