This unique RDSport R50 super-sedan is a completely transformed 2000 BMW E39 (M62TUB44), delivering performance that will leave most of todays best performing sport sedans in your rear view mirror, with the classic style of BMWs ageless 5 series, enhanced with RDSport’s classy body trim. 

The R50 “stroker” motor rebuild with RDsport headers and flow-through exhaust, combined with the Jim Blanton performance gearing, provides more low end torque off the line than cars with 20% more horsepower. The torque off the line, with Michelin PS2s gripping, pastes you and your passengers to their seats.

411+ HP @ 5800 RPM
379+ ft lb. TQ @ 4350 RPM

Recent dynojet and Maha dyno runs show power is stout and intact, with little effect from engine wear due to attention to care and feeding. 

Zero to 60 miles per hour in 4.3 to 4.6 seconds ( GTechPro recorded )

The R50 is in excellent condition, having recently replaced most of the major components that might wear down at her age. 126K miles, mostly freeway, garaged. Used as daily driver, but would make a great track car. 

E39 Stock features: Titanium silver metallic exterior with gray leather interior, heated front seats, park distance control, premium sound with DSP, 6 speed manual transmission.

Mini JCW Paceman vs. BMW M135i in family faceoff

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

Over the last year, we've had the chance to drive two of the most exciting hatchbacks in the BMW family - the BMW M135i and the Mini Paceman John Cooper Works - but Autocar has managed to get the two corporate cousins together for a head-to-head comparison. Just like our initial impressions of the Paceman JCW, Autocar has little to complain about this new 215-horsepower hatchback... until it begins to factor in the faster, better-mannered and similarly priced M135i.
Despite laying down an extra 100 hp and delivering a 0-60 time that is almost two seconds quicker, the M135i carries the same price tag of 29,535 pounds in the UK; US pricing for the Paceman starts at $36,200, while it still isn't even clear if the US will be getting the M135i. Even more surprising is the fact that the Paceman falls short of the M135i in regards to rear seat and cargo volume, and just barely squeaks out a win in the fuel economy department. Scroll down to watch the BMW versus Mini hot hatch battle.

Fore! Pro golfers race BMW i8 against a golf cart

Sat, Jun 28 2014

You wouldn't think a couple of pro golfers racing a golf cart along a nice green course would get the blood pumping. But throw in a BMW i8 plug-in hybrid and things get at least a little more interesting. At least, that's what the German automaker is hoping for. Bimmer is swinging big with a cross-promotional video featuring two pairs of golfers racing plug-in vehicles at the 2014 BMW International Open golf tournament in Koln, Germany. Two of the golfers take your run-of-the-mill golf cart while the other two take a slightly more powerful BMW i8, with the goal to get to the course's "halfway house" first. The race, among other things, sends jackrabbits scurrying and shows off the i8's really cool doors and racy styling. The odd part – "spoiler" alert – is that the golf cart wins the race by taking a short cut through the course despite the fact that the i8 pairs a 231-horsepower turbocharged engine with a 131-horsepower electric motor. It's probably not exactly the message of high-speed performance BMW wants to convey but it would raise eyebrows if this weren't all a silly stunt. Check out the three-minute video below and then read our i8 First Drive impressions here.
