SLEEPERS! Anyone have a street sleeper here?

[0llie]

I don't know if anyone has purchased one, but you can get an F10 550i Luxury. I couldn't find a picture of one anywhere, so this is one of a 530d Luxury. It's identical save for the exhaust tips. It's also a shame you can no longer get a 550i as a Touring for even greater sleeper effect.



450bhp (50 more than a 288GTO), 0-62mph in 4.6 seconds, 0-100mph in 10.3 seconds. Quicker than an E39 M5!

stuff about a flash fast looking BMW

Nice car but how on earth can it be a sleeper? It looks big and fast, most people would guess that perhaps it's a 530d but that can still shift.

The nova however is a perfect example, i would love to own that!

It doesn't look flash. It looks like something a window blind salesman would drive. Sure, you expect to see it doing 90mph in lane 3. But you'd expect that to be the end of it's useful acceleration as it spews stinking black diesel smoke.

Cheers, missed the replys

The Tigra used to hold the FWD record for santa pod. It may still do, i'm not sure.

I'm not sure. Without getting into an argument there's at least 2 Civics running nearly 900bhp I know of

I'm sure that'll be awesome but I'm also sure it won't be a sleeper.

This is brilliant.

That is quality. You wouldn't look at it twice until it buggered off into the distance at rate previously thought to be impossible in a Polo.

[Nuttah]

OMG really want that polo! If that thing was closer to the 3.5k region i would be all over it.

Exactly my thoughts.

Still chuckling at that 1.4 badge.

Love that Polo, brilliant attention to detail and a proper sleeper. Wonder what sort of time it does 0-60...

Yep, just looks like the average st box Focus, usually 100 ish bhp but has over three times that.

Its a boggo looking model, estate for extra points, no external clues and it is still a common sight, rarer, older stuff can be a sleeper but the ultimate is what looks like a painter and decorators daily hack.

Only the low profile steelies give it away if you look closely. Otherwise, well done!
