Do-it-yourself tuning - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

This thread inspired me to do some tuning work of my own

As a first little test I chopped off the roof:

Then I glued another 4 cylinders to my engine. It got a little tight in there but now I have a 7.5 liter V16:

The original pictures were taken from my website.

Let's go, guys! Anyone out there with a six-wheel BMW?

Looks like you got to much time on your hands.

But this proves a valid point that a picture can say anything you want it to say. Also nice to see some pictures of your new car. And I agree with your analysis of the engine pictures on that blue CSi, those look fake.

Mike , you should try to do a Touring version !!!

I would love to see an 850Csi Shooting Break...

A touring?! Have you ever seen chicks gettin' attracted to one?

I had something more radical in mind, especially concerning power-to-weight ratio. So I took my other car and combined the two. The prototypes had BMW engines, so why not put one into it again?

I think I will call it 380CV. So let's talk again about chicks and the best bang for the buck. Uhm, well, you know what I mean

The Charlston CSi. Though I think you have to tilt the engine more in the back, or the driveshaft will go through the backseat, or have you managed to make the gearbox FWD???

Well I'm not as good as you with Photoshop, but here is a test of your 850 Csi tuned by me ;-)
