Another M5 Track Car, don't drool

[John Beckham]

from another forum that got it from somewhere else.

I love it personally. not the color, but the concept is great

We’d totally understand it if someone took a mid 90’s BMW M3 E36 with half a million miles and turned it into a nice weekend track racer, but completely gutting out a 2006 BMW M5 E90 -yes, the latest model with the 507Hp V10 powerhouse- is something that doesn’t quite sound right. The owner of the car says that he was able to remove a total of 600 lbs or about 272kg from the BMW M5’s body – mainly from the interior which now features a roll cage and a set of light weight bucket seats.

[OneSickE36]

damn that thing is so sick :)

[leonard_e36]

i'm wondering how it sounds in the interior with no antiphonary

[John Beckham]

I love it. It's really loud and vibrates in the cabin.

I read somewhere that it was not only keeping up with f430s and such, but it was passing them. I'd love to do that to a ferrari owner :)

[endofanera7]

any modification under the hood?

[leonard_e36]

this car deserve to be hard modified under the hood (i would prefer N/A) to worth this kind of loose of weight.

Only a true baller would be able to do something like that into an E60 M5...

I wonder what other cars he has in his garage in order to do this.
