    BMW M8 top secret fotos

    While i sit here uploading and sipping on a A&W Root beer float i have to tank Chicosito for Swooping me up to check this out. By the time i was done nees were soaked from grass but was way worth it, i know people were all WTF is that guy doing but this may never happen again so for my brothers i have more focus on technical than exterior because we have all seen those Ready?

    Suspension
    Coil overs anyone?

    I can't say that I've ever seen a spring-damped throttle cable before, interesting.

    EGR? I'm surprised they even bothered with emissions components on the prototype. It does look hella cool tho

    I miss my E31!!!!!!!!!!
    I am really liking the TB design. Not individual TB but the dual channel 3/bank. Very interesting. I wonder if those are from a previous model of BMW that can be reengineered.
