Its awesome... but the sway bar will rub and who the hell puts corners in and exhaust system if you building something like this :yuck:

Too bad its a Z3.

 

[Gizmo]

too bad its an auto.:bangdesk:

Yeah, but try and find a six speed manual gearbox for the V12, now those are hard to find, unlike the ones for the V8's

Crazy

I dunno if its me but i cant seem to see an X Pipe. with the current exhaust setup im sure that you will have unequal exhaust pressures due to no X Pipe and different length pipes.


Also, this car seems like it will rip its chassis to bits. I wonder if this car is properly drivable. if it is, then count me in for a test drive.


I have to admit that the engineering behind this project must be crazy cool

Speaking of 6spd gearboxes I have seen a manual 6spd with shifter linkages off a 650i cabriolet @ electron motorspares, I dare not ask how much...
This was with the 4.8is v8 motor which I think they still have.

Most of things I did myself as a hobby with a help of my friend who owns an exhaust shop.

It would probably be safe to assume that this one will also fit on all the other V8's.
