EYE CANDY // A RACE READY 8 SERIES

This bit of Eye Candy comes to us courtesy of the Bulgogi Brothers. Possibly the first 8 series BMW I have ever seen in race trim, I am rather curious when and where this photo was taken // [comment]

  1. What I found interesting is the offset those BBS wheels have front and back.

  2. Yea, I noticed that as well. I have to assume this was taken @ the ring, but I can't be sure. I am also curious whether it is an 830, 840 or 850...

  3. This is a Ring car, those are Ring 24 stickers.

  4. Picture was indeed taken at the Nürburging (during an 24h race), the car raced from 2000 and 2007 in the VLN championship and several 24h races @ the 'Ring.

    It used to be a 840i (crancked up to 480 hp), but later the engine was replaced with a E39 M5 V8, up to 555 hp. Car is owned by Wagenstetter Motorsport, and should head onto the BMW museum in Munich.
