Think the bi turbo is fastest production BMW with 170'ish mph top speed. All the others are limited to 155.

Very cool car and project.

Posting so I can keep an eye on this one

Project has been a bit delayed, but hopeing for some action in the next week or so.

Surrey Rolling Road, Local too!

Those switches in the seats on the link are dodgy

[Jag-D]

Charlie...sometimes I really hate you and admire you at the same time

Looking forward to seeing results

The touring body is a bit heavier and less aerodynamic so that will lop a few mph off the top end. Still damn quick though.

Looking good Charlie! Can't wait to see it finished.

Are you sure about the aerodynamics? I remember a debate about this and they found estates had better aero then saloons......I feel a bit nerdy now

I think you're right actually.

No ALPINA is limited.

A very cool project indeed.
