    Cool...

    I think every BMW should have a twin turbocharged M70 in it.

    Gosh Damnit man...

    you need to make up your f*cking mind:

    E36 w/ Turbo S52.... E36 w/ Dry Sumped Verticle Mount S38... Turboing the E39 M5, Twin Turbo V12 in the E36.

    Your ideas may not be enough for one lifetime... you better get your ass in gear if you want to pull this all off.

    The twin turbo V12s never put out very big numbers.

    I want them all! Well e36 is spoken for. I should just save up my money for a GTR with big block + twin turbos and call it a day.

    That guy is building a F1 replica too, with a lot of genuin F1 parts. And has some of the molds for the body. He is using a BMW V12 for it.

    Think he put an M70 in a mini cooper too.

    Well, when the widebody is done, you're gonna have to come up to the Pasadena/Eagle Rock area. I know the guys from the M Shop wanna see your car, and so do I. In fact, I'll hook you up with a complimentary dinner for drving up here and taking us all for a spin

    That was an easy sale! I'm up there as soon as she is done! Body shop owner and I went over the rest of the work yesterday. I told him 1 month worse case scenario. So hopefully the car will be done in 6 weeks.

    I dont understand the twin supercharged and turbocharged concept can someone explain how this works.
    Nelson Mandela borrowed this from Marianne Wilson in his 1994 inaugural speech - "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, "Who am i to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?" Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. You were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within you. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

    The superchargers will give him boost in the lower RPMs so he can use large turbos for more power in the top end without it being a complete dog down low.

    it is!! He has a mammoth task on his hands there
    Idea is that supercharger spools the turbo so you get boost throughout the rev range and no lag to speak of.
    Doing a twin twincharged car is very ambitious
