Check out this absolutely stunning restoration and engine upgrade by the loving owner of this 1979 BMW CSi (E9) coupe. The car has been upgraded with a 3.5 (M90) motor with CR dogleg and 3.07 lsd.

Its not clear if these are very well done photoshops or real photos which have been slightly degraded, regardless, the result is the same. This is the X5 LCI which is coming very soon. Photos leaked from the MOTOR-TALK forums

We previously showcased press photos of the E89 Hartge Z4 35i, but here are in-the-flesh photos from a ZPOST member of the newest Hartge Z4. Changes include add-on front spoiler lip / bumper, carbon fiber mirrors, hartge wheels (different set on each side), Hartge suspension, Hartge wind deflector, rear trunk spoiler, and Hartge quad exhaust.

We’ve added a few more updates to the official F10 5-Series thread. We’ve added a new gallery of an Titanium Silver F10 with multiple action shots, and a new video of the design sketches that went into the design of the F10.

There are some very talented videographers out there. Luckily, some of them also own BMWs and can really marry two hobbies with some amazing results. Check it out. Well worth it!
