Well I have finally gotten bored with my current project, a widebody 135, you can check it out here if you want to see it:

I decided it's time to start something bigger and better! I also decided that this time around it would be another turbo engine (let's just face it, turbos are awesome
) but I also wanted something with more space. So what was the logical choice? The new BWM F10 M5
I also decided that this would be something more than just a normal show car, it needed to be something special. First the color couldn't be stock, to boring, even though BMW has some great individual options out there. Ever since I saw the
Java Green M3 I knew it was the perfect choice (I also know how much people either like or hate it). With that much attitude in the color something awesome was required for the wheels, something never seen or done before
Well a little call down to the guys at MORR Wheels covered that. What's so secret about the wheels, well you'll just have to wait a little longer, but trust me, your mind will be blown. For now they told me I could give out this information "It's a new monoblock competition line based on 6061-T6 Aluminum competition forgings. Every blank is forged exclusively for the application that it is going to be used for, in this case the M5, which allows us to create very lightweight wheels. The initial FEA shows weights of around 2lbs-3lb lighter than their current VS8.2 lineup. The program includes a total of 6 monoblock designs." With all that in mind the next step was suspension and power, 560 isn't nearly enough for what I have in mind. Looking forward to what COBB has in mind for this project, should me amazing.
Finally, what is it that I have in mind for all this? Speed! The goal of this new project is to set records, namely the worlds fastest production sedan. Texas mile here we come! While the project is still very young and in the planning stages (no US M5's until summer
) there has already been a huge response from various vendors. As such there are a few people to mention at the start, and hopefully this list will grow as the car moves along! Feel free to PM me if your interested in joining in on the project.
But so far thanks to:
- and others working behind the scene to join this project!
So... The part that people actually care about, here is the render of the completed ride, I can't wait to see it in the flesh!
