Putting big engines in small cars is just silly. And should be done more often.

He appears to have all the ingredients... a big ramp, a decent run up and the most powerful car known to man (mapped). ETA - I think he's aim is off a little bit, but maybe he's correcting for the wind or something.

I like!  But I have to ask what kind of material you'd use for the carpet in the load area of a car like that? You don't have an estate unless you are carting your labrador about. And with 550bhp, there's going to be fooking dog vomit everywhere.. P,

http://www.autobionics.co.uk/project4.htmlIt's seemingly quite a lot of hassle to get one in to anything because of how far integrated the engine is into the rest of the car. Those guys are going to end up with the world's first Sat-Nav/TV & I-Drive equipped Ultima. If you could get some kind of aftermarket standalone ECU to run it however...

ChapppeRS said: Why do they even bother when this exists? Hold on... are you asking why anyone would want a 550bhp monster instead of 335 DIESEL!?!?! Is that what you're asking? I just want to clarify before I start hurling abuse in your direction.

Yeah a hilarious joke, one that has loads of life in it and isn't tired and cliched in any way whatsoever. Make numerous references to it whenever you can, people will think you are really funny and cool.

Sounds like a great car, Shame about the dreary 3 Series styling.

I love the boast about the 200mph top speed. IIRC, the M5 and M6 will both easily top 200, but are restricted to 155 - along with most German metal - because to put the top speed above 155mph would result in problems with the tyres and engine in terms of heat buildup.

Remagel2507 said: Hmm I like it but I think I would have it looking completely standard for that suprise element I had this idea a while back but the funds didnt agree  Some german tuning company made an E93 M3 Replica before the official one was launched im suprised they didnt come out with this first. with all the standard M3 gear would be the look i'd go for. very nice

Also, so is your face.
