VEHICLE OVERVIEW
This is “EVIL BMR,” a one-of-a-kind 2002 BMW M Coupe — 1 of 678 S54-powered U.S. models — and the result of a no-expense-spared, 740HP supercharged build carried out by VAC Motorsports, VF Engineering, La Jolla Audio, Amato’s Auto Body and HRE
Designed to be the ultimate street-legal, track-capable M Coupe that could run on the stock DME with catalytic converters, the car pushes the boundaries of what’s possible with a factory-ECU platform. It made 740 BHP on VAC’s Dynapack using 100-octane fuel and 695 HP on a conservative map, with a refined 91-octane tune also available. The build was featured in Performance BMW Magazine, and the car took 1st Place at BimmerFest 2012. The trophy comes with the car.
