Waste of the Day: BMW M3 CSL total loss at Nurburgring

We’re fully aware that no words can take the pain off a loss like this but we’ll agree with the folks over at "bimmerforums" who noted that at least the BMW M3 CSL died doing what is was made for at the best place in the world it could do it. Interestingly enough in the same forum we discovered a link pointing out to the German eBay revealing that the totaled BMW M3 CSL is up for sale for 29.900 EUR or 39.400 USD. New rims apart, looks like it’s the same car but we can’t vouch for it. Via: Diariomotor Source: Bimmerforums

M5 Madness

Vincent and his gang of millionjars at Autoblog.nl bring us this batshite-mad BMW twin-turbo M5. It's the product of Westlake, California's Currency Motorcars. It's not just some run-of-the-mill tweaker. The super-high-end work includes serious powertrain alterations to unlock upward of 800 horsepower from the V10. The intercooler is a custom job, and the gestalt adds up to a top speed, according to Currency, of 240 mph. As if that figure were not badshite mad enough, it's also gotten $100,000 in interior upgrades - mainly hand-stitched aniline dyed Florida Crocodile, leather and suede. It's an amazing achievement, though somewhere there's a conservationist who will never sleep again. – Mike Spinelli
