Car looks quick. Owner looks genuinely scared in his own passenger seat.
Car runs 167.9MPH in standing half mile - for reference Porsche 918 will do 173mph, McLaren 650S maybe slower than 167MPH

This article said that the N55 engine has all iron cast internals, while the N54 has a mix of cast and forged internals.

If this is true, then I am a bit surprised that the N55 internals aren't forged.

This really makes the N55 engine just a cost-effective version of the N54. Because it makes the same exact power and torque in stock form as the N54, and it only runs a single turbo with iron cast internals instead of forged internals.

BMW would have saved a decent coin by moving to the N55 platform from the N54 and it still hits the same power and torque figures they were aiming for (in stock form).

Also, knowing that the 1M Coupe came out equipped with a N54 engine, even though the N55 was in production 2 years beforehand says a lot about what BMW thinks of the N54.

The N55 in the M2 shares a lot of forged parts with the S55 in the M3/M4, so it doesn't count as your standard run off the mill N55 engine you get in your standard 35i cars.

Nissan/Infiniti have entered the turbo 6 with a new engine!!!

If this new engine is put in the next generation Z (z35 model), this would bring back some JDM life in the new era since its golden era of the 80s and 90s and early 2000's.

In the latest edition of BMW car magazine (June) I noticed an ad for superpro sussy bits:

Turns out they have a heap of options available for the E9X!

1st video - this gave me a few ideas with seat adjustment, may help out a forum members as well. Just wish I had a few more dollars and was one of the 918 worldwide.

2nd video - Autobahn Germany 911R, sound - wow - hits 320km/h towards the end of the vid, enjoy.

Hmm that rear spoiler looks crap, the rims look crap what are the ///M guys doing...

Why the orange highlights!?! FFS boys... thankfully us plebs wont have the $ to buy something like this anyhow!

I've always been a huge R32 R34 fan, but never loved the R35 in terms of aesthetics the interior felt cheap to me (they go like the fkn clappers though!)

The 2017 model is a huge improvement!

The owner of that car acts like a bit of a douche on the forums and fb group N5x Enthusiasts, even worse than me.

Makes fun of people and thinks he's King Shit and knows everything. Guess it goes with owning a beast like that
