You worst a Trackhawk killer, but it doesn't get stolen? It flies under the radar. This is one of the most insane builds you can do. The foundation will be a BMW x three m 40 I. Since it depreciated, you can get one now for as low as $26,000. That's significantly cheaper than the x x three m, but the m 40 I with the b 58 is plenty enough to get the job done. Get a bigger turbo since the stock turbo is too small. Next, add catalyst downpipes to free up exhaust flow. Finally, some supporting mods like a high pressure fuel pump and a cold air intake system. Finally, top it off with a proper custom tune to pull everything together. This very simple better brings the stock 382 horsepower number to over 650 horsepower. That's the same amount of power as a Trackhawk, but at 1,000 less pounds of curb weight. With just some bolt ons and a tune, you will gap track hawks and it won't get stolen.
