    All Carbon Fiber BMW 135i 400HP 2500lbs in Our Showroom

    Well our friend Bobby Downes brought his custom 135i into our showroom during our Bavarian Fest at Schaeffer BMW down here in Wilmington. I snagged a couple photos for the forums, the doors on this thing come in at around 3lbs each, opening and closing them feels unreal. It has 400HP and 420 foot-pounds of torque. It will be in our showroom until October 31st, if anyone is in the area and wants to check it out. The BMW 1M will also be coming back into our showroom this Wed. night.

    Those 2 are the only things uglier that I found when typing "ugliest cars of the world" into google images.. actually I'm not sure on the Aztec, it's proper nasty, but this rivals it.

    It's light? Oh, good.

    Not my cup of tea on the styling but i'm sure that thing tears up a race track.

    There is such thing as a beautiful track car...this is not one of them. But the work put into must be appreciated.

    Wait wait wait.... is this the Schaeffer BMW from Eastbound and Down!? Because that's pretty fantastic regardless of the cars on the showroom floor.

    I met Bobby about a week ago at his fab shop Overrev fabrication. I saw the car there too. I am very very impressed with attention to detail. Everything on that car is a custom one off created by Bobby. He has some fab skills. Luckily enough, he's going to be building a cage for me!

    Awesome car.
