Default HUGE tubro in a BMW M5



Looks like fun but watching the video makes me think that turbo cant be matched to the car very well... also its HUGE!

Here is a vid of it goin around the track a few times:

I think the air filter is more impressive.

After watching the video that car is not setup well at all....WAY TOO MUCH POWER!

That thing looks old. Little bit of a traction problem too! I always thought the M5 had a 4 liter V8!?!? That looks kinda like the I-6 from an M3.

Judging by the top of the engine it's either a straight 6 or 5 cylinder.
