INFO ON CAR: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77915
Bremgo, a German aftermarket parts retailer, has dropped the M5/M6 500hp V10 engine into a 2008 BMW M3 coupe.
The engine outputs 507 horsepowers (up from the stock M3's 420hp)!
The M3's stock 6 speed manual transmission has also been replaced with the M5/M6's seven speed SMG transmission.

I am on vacation in Europe this week and got a chance to visit Nurburgring on Sunday to get a ride in the Ring Taxi (which was amazing by the way). We got there really early in the morning hoping to catch a glimse of all the cars coming in and right when I pulled into the parking lot, I spotted it...a brand new M3 sitting outside the BMW building.
The car had AC Schnitzer 20" wheels (295/25/20 tires on the rear), Recaro aftermarket seats and a Harge steering wheel. It was also an SMG model.
I have a decent video of the guy pulling away in it as he left the area, but its too big to post now. I will shrink it down when I get back to the US. But the exhaust sounded unbelievable as he drove off.
Here are the pics...

While I have not been completely sold on the new M3 idea over an RS4, having seen it in person is really starting to win me over.
