Transcript

You're willing to sacrifice a little reliability, this is one of the craziest builds you can do, and it'll shock just about anything on the street. The foundation is a 02/1619 BMW three forty I. You can find these for around $20,000, and what you better for the price is wild. Under the hood sits the legendary three point zero liter b 58 turbo inline six, an engine that's massively underrated from the factory and built like a tank. In other words, this thing is basically a budget m three in disguise. Drop in a bigger turbo since the stock one can't handle past 500 horsepower. Next, throw in a catless downpipe to let it breathe, and finish it off with a proper e 85 custom tune to unlock all the hidden potential. With just those mods, the car jumps from its stock 320 horsepower to well over 700 horsepower on pump ethanol, and the power delivery is brutal yes smooth rank to BMW's engineering. Pair that with the ZF eight speed automatic and rear wheel drive, you've got a daily drivable street weapon that pulls like a supercar. This setup will gap most modern sports cars, run with supercars from a roll, and still look like a tame three series sedan to the untrained eye. It's basically the ultimate sleeper BMW for the money. So would you build this 700 horsepower beast?
