Did you guys see this insane car on ebay!!! After reading it I was astonished to say the least. If I had money to buy a new M5 or M6 I would rather buy this car probably smoke both of those!! :D

I wouldn't say smoke - especially since the V10 gets power without any forced induction and is most likely 100 times more reliable, but that's rediculously cool!

[Sam-Son]

I think they can get more than 515HP

[Macv]

I can only imagine how many problems that'll have. It's a shame they matched it with an auto box.

Theres one of these in the a recent issue of BMWCar magazine . Its pushing out 600hp on pump fuel ,apparently Dinan only made 25 of these . 10 were stage 1`s , 10 were stage 2`s and 5 were stage 3`s which were pushing out the 600hp . Out of the 5 only 4 are left due to 1 being written off in Hong Kong.
As for the Autos , they are a ZF 4hp24 modified with a 2800 stall converter heavy duty clutches and plates , internal shift kit and external oil cooler with Dinan chips on auto and motor . Also of note is the diff which is LSD with 3.64 ratio .
From what i could gather in the article , they are very reliable , as the owner of the car in the article was using his as a daily driver , with only regular maintanence being required and no major breakdowns or failures.
I`d definatly choose one of these beasts over a current M5 or M6.

45 grand? I'll bet even the bid for thirty is a shill.
Let's see what can I buy for 45 Gs? Oh, I know, a seventeen year old BMW known to be problematic.
45 grand, gimme a break. I want whatever this clown is drinking.

why are they claiming only 170 mph? gearing? it has more than enough hp to eclipse that speed.

[AllGo'n'Show]

Probably restriced at that speed, if my 3.5 m30 7 series could do 155 then that thing sure as hell should be able to beat that, although the gearing is the same on my car and it, I did have about another 1200 rpm to go tho.

lookes like glacer blue paint.
