It's nice isn't it? That's the same V12 with 700 hp that was in the Lemans X5. I never found out the full story behind that picture though. Not sure if they actually went to the trouble of stuffing that monstrous V12 in the M5 if that even is a M5. Having 700 HP could be so much fun...oh yes,

Photoshop does wonders! But wouldn't it be great if it's realistically possible!

I thought that picture looked a bit fishy...the edges are a bit blurry between the point where the engine starts and the M5 bay.

Thanks for pointing that out, Karman.

Definitly a photoshop job but if you want a similar looking engine cover...it's definitly doable!

It looks like a 750il engine bay.
