This thing is looking impressive.

You know 500 HP+ BMWs are just a turbo upgrade and a chip away!

I want this thing BAD! I'm originally a Beemer guy, so the specs and data on this beast make me want one even more. I just might have to pick one of these suckers up as my daily work car. Love that writeoff!

 

Agreed, this will be replacing my G35

 

The only thing that bothers me are the torque #'s. They are so far below the HP #'s. Same for the e60 M5...

 

?????BMW claims that the engine make 300Hp and 300 Ft-Lbs, how are the torqye numbers far below the HP numbers. On a dyno the car made more torque than HP
