Reply With QuoteI saw this video a couple months ago. It's either a twin turbo or a very large single turbo e30 if I recall correctly. I didn't watch the movie again, so I could be wrong.Originally Posted by genphreak

Anyone know what engine might be in this?
You have to wait for the cockpit view to see the results...

it says 3800 cc, which i would imagine is the engine out of the 540, prolly twin turbo'd. i've seen e30's with that setup before.
That's F'N nuts!!!Viva Bravaria!!!

I bet he put a TURBONATOR on it. That's how he got that much power.

EDIT - I didn't watch it too closely before... not the same M5 but looks like the same proving grounds, maybe the same guy?

WOW!!!
I have never seen the speedo needle in a car move that fast.
That turbocharger is the size of a basketball!
3.8 is the same size as the late-model E34 M5, so it could be that. Or a bored out M30, which is kinda what it looks like.

Its either an M20 or an M30 bored out to 3.8L most likely the latter because i dont think you can bore out an M20 lke that..

Whatever it is with that much smoke coming out of her I'd say it's in for a short life!
