So badass... Understandable why it was never put into production, but it's a shame that the high perf manual was never avail on the E53... Anybody ever run with the E46 M3 mirror concept and fab 'em for their E53?

If I'm not mistaken that motor is out of the BMW V12 LMR that competed in the late '90s. I would bet there is a spare available somewhere.

There's a Porsche 911 prowling the roads of southern FL with a Porsche Lemans prototype race engine, sequential hydropneumatic gearbox too.

He made my 700hp Hennessey Viper look slow in Homestead FL a few yrs ago!

All it takes is money and time to find the spares.......and a good shop to handle the swap/chassis enhancements.
