8 Rarest BMW M Cars Ever Made! 

I couldn't agree more!!

I seen one of these in person and it's so pretty

9000 german rpm M8 is literally childhood dream, even the interior is beautiful

Glad you liked it. Thanks so much, my friend.

@@pd07 you welcome

The M8 didn't make it to production. But the engine did. In the McLaren F1.

@@hkonhelgesen yes I know it didn't but there was speculation back when it was made that it might. Shame because it would have been an insane car

Correct ✅ 😎

But they did but only 1 and 1 is enough :)

Awesome video as well

Yes you correct it has N55 not S55

Thought the same 😂

Well, they put two prototypes together at the time they were about to release the M2 Comp. They´re just demo cars for the board to decide, if they wanted to go for the M2 CS or the CSL, so they only had the N55 from the original M2 as placeholder. But yeah, technically you´re completely right, that in there is a N55. 👍

And one gen 1 X5 with v12 engine.

The M8 was originally envisioned as a Ferrari competitor equipped with a special version of the S70 engine, with modifications including a displacement increase to just over 6 litres, dual overhead camshafts for each cylinder bank, individual throttle bodies with roller valves, four valves per cylinder, carbon fibre intake manifolds and continuously variable valve timing. As a result, it was estimated the M8 would achieve a top speed of 198 mph, power output is 471 kW (640 PS) and its torque is 650 N⋅m (479 lbf⋅ft) A common misconception is that this engine powered the McLaren F1. The S70/2 used in the McLaren F1 was not based directly on the prototype 48-valve V12 used in the M8, and was a completely new design Hopefully this helps

I think it was called the X5 LM. It was a first gen X5 and had the v12 from the Le Mans car

Also, the engine in the F1 was called the S70/2. It doesn’t share much in common with the other BMW v12’s. It was closer to two S50’s (E36 M3 Motors) with a common crank. This was also the basis for the motor used in the Le Mans race cars, but isn’t really that closely related to any other BMW road car motors.

Yeah, but they didn´t stop after the X5 Le Mans, they also put that V12 in a Z3! Looks hilarious! 😆 And if you are curious, how that X5 LM sounds, search for the video " Inside BMW Group Classic - the BMW X5 Le Mans " , they fire it up at the end of that video. And i promise, you won´t be disappointed, that thing just sounds violent!

Thanks for your opinion.

That’s a #1 right there

They are just listing the differences there between the M2 CS, where they would offer either the automatic or optional a manual transmission (as in payable option when you specced it from the factory). If they would´ve ended up to release the CSL instead, we only would´ve gotten the automatic, or at least was that the plan at that time.

Those aren’t original BMW

I guess you have missed the part that there is exactly 1 M8 and is located at the BMW M museum in Munich. So, no, you 100% have not "bought the m8 for 10k". Maybe you have bought an 840i or maybe even an 850i, but definitely not an M8.

@@Schmitzelhaus probably, the thing has a v12 and is mostly a lawn ornament at this point as it barely ever runs,

@@acenigerian3356 If it has a V12, it´s the 850i. But yeah, i´ve seen a couple as well by now that were for sale for around 10k, with not even that many kilometer on the clock. Most likely because that engine is a real princess and always wants something new for maintenance. And pretty much everything for it is hella expensive, so i don´t even blame you for not running it anymore. I love that car, but it´s the 840i you wanna own. It´s V8 is far more reasonable to maintain, but that´s also why it´s way more expensive to buy... But it´s a hell of a nice showpiece you got there for your yard! 😁👍
