We’d totally understand it if someone took a mid 90’s BMW M3 E36 with half a million miles and turned it into a nice weekend track racer, but completely gutting out a 2006 BMW M5 E90 -yes, the latest model with the 507Hp V10 powerhouse- is something that doesn’t quite sound right. The owner of the car says that he was able to remove a total of 600 lbs or about 272kg from the BMW M5’s body – mainly from the interior which now features a roll cage and a set of light weight bucket seats.

I would have rather gutted a 6-speed car not one with SMG.

I would have rather gutted a 6-speed car not one with SMG.For serious track use, the SMG would be great for quick up and down shifts. It'd make left-foot-braking alot easier.


big LOL on the wood dash still in the car :DI laughed at that, too.


That poor bimmer :(
That car is doing what it's designed to do.... go fast. Now it's going even faster!

The guy also dropped a chunk of change on his coilovers. Moton = $$$$
