Castro Motorsport's 500whp Widebody Turbo E34 Touring

Post by e30polak »

The Castro Motorsport widebody, 500whp turbo E34 touring is officially FOR SALE!

This is the perfect all around car - fast, low, comfortable, tons of space and turns heads! It has long gears, so it puts the power down well, without ruining your gas bill on long trips (when you stay out of boost, lol). That being said, drop down 1 or 2 gears and disappear! The power band is very usable and streetable with the set-up and amazing tune by Jordan from RK Tunes. This thing lightly pulls on stock F10 M5s from a roll up to 60-130mph - verified at Shift Sector's roll racing events. The car is static, fairly stiff and pretty low, but it handles very well and isn't that harsh of a ride. This is the same car that was featured on the cover of Performance BMW Magazine, as well as a Stanceworks.com cover article.

$18,000 OBO - AS IS! DON'T BOTHER LOW BALLING, AS WE KNOW WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH TO THE RIGHT BUYER. IT WOULD TAKE $25,000 OR MORE TO BUILD THIS CAR WITH WHAT'S INTO IT. NO JOY RIDES, ONLY SERIOUS BUYERS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DRIVE THE CAR.

No air filter or at best a piece of screen strapped across the inlet of the turbo in all those pics!?!?!?!?!
Please tell me pictures of the air cleaner were just left out. Love the "Hot Air Intake System".:poke:

Just for the pictures. But in all honesty on a turbo set-up like this, it makes more power with just a screen or no filter.

Sure, you just need a "smog guy" ;)

For a short period of time until anything hits the compressor wheel when it's traveling 100k plus rpm.

Seriously? Additional cost? How much?

Looks like it was built with passion. That's cool. I love E34 tourings, but I hate the way this car looks.

"hate" is pretty strong. you really find it that offensive?

I do. I am sure a lot of work went into it. That said, if you can find the money for 11" wide rears, you can find the money for a screen/filter for the spinner and fix the sunroof. For me, in terms of design, form should follow function. I doubt the suspension and wheels really do much for the handling. a step too far...is just too far. I am sure others differ and everybody get's an opinion. Pretty sure, even with all the cars I have owned, some which have been very competitive on the track, none have been stance-worthy...could be I am just old, and I guess hate is probably a stretch...just not my cup of tea :cool:

"Stance" and "comfortable ride" seem to be mutually exclusive. This car doesn't seem to be built for the latter. It'd be of more interest to me if it had something closer to a stock suspension. But that's just me.
