We at all times try to deliver the newest BMW content material in entrance of you however once in a while, a formidable automobile flies beneath our radar. Such is the case right here with a first-generation 6 Collection Coupe that has been subjected to a plethora of tasteful mods, chief of which hides beneath the hood. This E24 has suffered an engine transplant by getting the “S85” engine from its successor, the E63.

This isn’t a brand new construct as in line with our analysis; it was accomplished again in 2022. Nevertheless, it’s solely now we’ve stumbled upon the wild contraption. The widebody 6er decked out with a retro-flavored M livery was born in Poland the place it bought a six-speed guide gearbox from an E92 M3. As well as, it boasts a entrance suspension borrowed from an E60 5 Collection from which it has inherited the differential.

It’s mentioned to have over 600 horsepower, which might indicate the naturally aspirated V10 has been tuned to extract greater than 100 hp in comparison with the usual 5.0-liter unit. Torque is probably going additionally above the manufacturing facility ranking of 520 Nm (384 lb-ft). It have to be an absolute rocket seeing as how the E24 was a light-weight automobile by as we speak’s requirements. Probably the most potent first-gen 6 Collection had been the M635CSi and the M6 with 256 hp, so this automobile packs greater than double the ability.

Cramming the 5.0-liter V10 powerhouse into the engine bay is an actual feat, particularly for the reason that greatest engine BMW ever put within the E24 was a 3.5-liter inline-six. Combining one of the vital engaging designs from Bavaria with the massively fascinating engine is a match made in BMW heaven. We’re glad somebody had the intense concept for this combo and determined to show his dream into actuality.

Connected under is an older video with the automobile’s builder Grzegorz Duda speaking about his spectacular construct for the Polish present TVN Turbo. The walkaround video offers us the impression he was going for the three.0 CSL E9 Batmobile look, an concept that BMW additionally had for the ultra-rare 3.0 CSL launched in late 2022. Nevertheless, the 2015 3.0 CSL Hommage idea stays our favourite tribute to the unique Coupe Sport Light-weight.
