clever engineering but at its zenith motorsport does become obscene to my eyes at least.

Don't like it. A BMW drag car should have a BMW derived engine. Silohette cars should also keep more body proportions.

As for the gold plating. Just makes it a pointless ornamnet.

Wouldn't the gold add unnecessary weight, and even melt off the turbo?!

It's a work of art though 8)

I've not done any research, but the quickest BMW car I've seen on youtube is running 9 sec 1/4's with a BMW mill, maybe there are limitations?

It's no worse than a McLaren F1 at the end of the day!

did any one read the notes or just look at the pics

the last one they built was "tarted up" and used. this will probably get used to

there is guy in the states using an s50b32, turbo'd in an e36 body for drag racing. its lookinig at well over 1500bhp and should be good for an 8 sec 1/4 mile
