Another great link. Maybe all this coverage will give the M2 cs/csl/gts a chance to be great. Hope someone at BMW is reading/watching all this. |

Just out of curiosity, what's the price for a set of these carbon wheels? I went to their site and they claim the wheels are 18.3lbs for the fronts and 19.6lbs for the rears. I have a set of really cheap Apex ARC-8 18x10 for the track that are under 20lbs each and I'm wondering where the benefit of carbon is relative to the cost. I can't imagine them being anywhere under $10k for a set. I would also assume carbon wheels to be much lighter too ~16-17lbs for 19s".

A Carbon is 13x stronger than an identical aluminum wheel and 40% lighter. So while there are many aluminum wheels, which lighter than the Carbon Rev's, they are no where near as strong and stiff. They achieve lightness through material subtraction. The ultra lightweight aluminum wheels actual flex quite a bit and overtime through driving under regular road conditions will infact deform. Interestingly, the carbon wheels also absorb more road shock as well, which made my car more comfortable. |

BMX,
Always loved the work and effort you put into this car. Truly amazing and glad this car is being promoted through reviewers like Leno so car connoisseurs everywhere can appreciate. Btw, what engine is now residing in the e92 m3 you have in your possession?

Ugh, just absolutely amazing. Still one of my favorite builds ever. Looks just as menacing as it sounds/performs. Great review.

I can never get enough of the sound that this car makes. Not for the faint of heart but sounds sooooooo good.
Marco is a unique enthusiast that appreciates the full build and attention to detail. He also understands cars are made to be driven, and driven regularly. Best part of this build is it gets used, its not a show car or a dyno queen but a car for a driver; a dedicated enthusiast who simply appreciates great cars. The car and the owner deserve all the love it gets. Congrats again Marco. |

My new favorite episode of Jay Leno's Garage, congrats on making the show!!! This car has a place in history at this point, good work.
Would love to hear if the factory really did consider making this, though I imagine it was a short conversation if so. S55 into M2 is their next opportunity (not NA though I know).
