This unique RDSport R50 super-sedan is a completely transformed 2000 BMW E39 (M62TUB44), delivering performance that will leave most of todays best performing sport sedans in your rear view mirror, with the classic style of BMWs ageless 5 series, enhanced with RDSport’s classy body trim. 

The R50 “stroker” motor rebuild with RDsport headers and flow-through exhaust, combined with the Jim Blanton performance gearing, provides more low end torque off the line than cars with 20% more horsepower. The torque off the line, with Michelin PS2s gripping, pastes you and your passengers to their seats.

411+ HP @ 5800 RPM
379+ ft lb. TQ @ 4350 RPM

Recent dynojet and Maha dyno runs show power is stout and intact, with little effect from engine wear due to attention to care and feeding. 

Zero to 60 miles per hour in 4.3 to 4.6 seconds ( GTechPro recorded )

The R50 is in excellent condition, having recently replaced most of the major components that might wear down at her age. 126K miles, mostly freeway, garaged. Used as daily driver, but would make a great track car. 

E39 Stock features: Titanium silver metallic exterior with gray leather interior, heated front seats, park distance control, premium sound with DSP, 6 speed manual transmission.

Ken Block and friends race light in silly-beautiful Castrol commercial

Wed, 28 May 2014

How does one make fast, loud, drifting cars better? Well, you can add more fast, loud, drifting cars or you can add lasers. Either or, really. In this case, Castrol did the right thing and added both, creating a highly stylized commercial for its Edge Titanium motor oil starring South African racer Adrian Zaugg, BMW factory driver Augusto Farfus, Audi DTM and Le Mans staple Mike Rockenfeller and some bloke named Ken Block.
Their cars? No surprise, but Block is in his Ford Fiesta GRC, while Zaugg samples a Lamborghini Aventador and Farfus and Rockenfeller drive along party lines, with a BMW M4 and an Audi R8, respectively. And those cars look good, too, thanks to the creative light and laser work on display.
Take a look below for the video from Castrol.

Audi overtakes BMW as adulterers' favorite car brand

Fri, 14 Jun 2013

As Audi hopes to surpass BMW as the top-selling luxury automaker, sometimes it has to look at the small victories, too. For instance, IllicitEncounters.com - a UK dating site for married folks (also known as adultery) - is reporting that a recent poll shows that more people willing to cheat on their spouses drive an Audi. Last year, this same poll showed that BMW was the car-of-choice for adulterers.
With Audi on top (pun intended) and BMW bumped to number two, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and Volkswagen round out the top five car brands owned by unfaithful wives and husbands. Check out the poll over at IllicitEncounters.com, but be sure to clear your browser history afterward. You know, just to make sure your spouse doesn't get the wrong idea about the websites you visit.

BMW preparing two concepts for Villa d'Este

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

Every spring, the finest automobiles ever to grace tarmac gather on the shores of Lake Como for the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. It's a chance for the most beautiful classics to compete for awards and for automakers and design studios to show off their concept cars under the soft light of the Italian sun. But while most of the vehicles old and new that show up for the concours are ones we've seen before, BMW takes things a step further.
As patron of the concorso d'eleganza for the past ten years, BMW regularly cooks up something new for the glamorous extravaganza. Last year it teamed up with Pininfarina for the Gran Lusso Coupé and revealed it alongside the Concept 90 motorcycle. The year before that came the BMW Zagato Coupe, preceded by the 328 Hommage and the M1 Hommage (pictured above) before it.
The theme for this year's event is the Roaring Twenties. BMW may not have been known back then on the same level as Bugatti or Duesenberg, but Rolls-Royce sure was.
