Crimson Bull Driftbrothers Eli and Joe Hountondji are at it once more. After constructing a depraved M4 smoke machine with four-digit horsepower, their subsequent undertaking automobile is predicated on the M2. It’s shaping as much as be a radical tackle the M division’s smallest mannequin, although the M4 definitely didn’t go unnoticed both.
Though the automobile is clearly nonetheless a piece in progress, one element stands out: the quad exhaust mounted just under the roof. It’s positioned in the identical spot as on the M4, the place the twin-turbo 3.0-liter engine was tuned to 1,025 hp and 1,285 Nm (948 lb-ft). The M2 makes use of the identical inline-six in inventory type, however who is aware of how a lot energy the Crimson Bull Driftbrothers are extracting this time round.
The stripped-down M2 is lacking most of its physique panels, with solely the roof and rear fenders nonetheless in place. We think about the completed automobile will characteristic an outrageous physique package to fill within the gaps. From what we will see, the inside has a full roll cage and room for only one seat. As if it weren’t already apparent from the video that this isn’t a normal G87, the outline spells it out, presumably for authorized causes:
“The autos proven don’t correspond to the usual BMW M collection autos. They’ve been considerably modified and outfitted with equipment from third-party suppliers and/or custom-built parts, for which BMW accepts no duty for his or her properties or use.”
Given its smaller measurement in comparison with the M4, we reckon the M2 ought to show to be a fair higher base for a wild drift machine tamed by Eli and Joe Hountondji. It’s clear the crew wants extra time to complete the construct, however the outcome will likely be nothing in need of spectacular. Though an xDrive version is reportedly coming subsequent 12 months, it makes extra sense to stay with the RWD mannequin for tail-happy shenanigans.
