Building the FIRST BMW E31 850ci Pandem Widebody for SEMA 2021!

[@andremarselous]

I’m an American living in Germany for the last 25 years, so I’ve seen a lot of these totally restored and looking brand new, but I’ve never seen seen one with a kit. I think it looks incredible, and I’m sure the old-school enthusiasts over here would be blown away by it. They’d just love it. It makes think about looking for one over here to get started on. Great job, and thanks for the video.

[@garage9283]

Gebe dir vollkommen recht. Super geiles Auto!

[@tubastud06]

Stop propagating the lie that "This is using the same engine as the McLaren F1" No - It's not. Especially if it's the 850Ci and not the 850CSi. The "normal" Ci had the 5 Liter M70B50 engine; the 850CSi had the 5.6 Liter S70B56 engine. The F1 had the 6 Liter S70/2 engine, and, while it shared many similarities, it was completely different from the other two applications that the 850Ci/CSi had. It is NOT the same engine. Period.

[@garage9283]

What do you expect from ppl seeing an 850 for the first time in their lives? The typical bla.. they hear and just handing it over without doing some due diligence. But I hate to say this car looks incredible!

[@placeholdername3206]

Yeah and why is he calling it the M57 when thats the diesel straight six, and a 5.8 doesn't exist either. I dont get it.

[@chrisJordan-xb9wc]

​@@placeholdername3206m57 swap would be kinda cool though

[@Xenirie]

I like the clean and sleek original design. This kit makes me think of a combo between the M1 race car mixed with an F40 (to be time period accurate). Awesome.

[@tonistaru]

M57 Is a straight six Diesel engine This is an m73, it never came as a 5.8 BMW never made a production v12 that shares anything but the number of cylinder with the mclaren f1 engine

[@mosmos2740]

Pretty sure he meant an m73b54 auto. And agree, nothing to do with the Mclaren.

[@jovannivilla6363]

My favorite 8 series by far and that kit just made it so much better.

[@rba614]

If only a manual

[@simmysina]

5.8 M57? Wait what?

[@Kamikazevondoom]

I have a 91 850i and I would love this wide body kit. If there is any site or anyone doing wide body kits, please help me. I would love this.

[@talkingmods]

Hey! Awesome car and definitely can't go wrong with this kind of build. We did this in our shop and can get the same kit this car used. Please reach out to our sales manager at [e-mail] and let him know what you're looking for, thank you and look forward to working with you.

[@iJeremyN]

Very cool build - The white-lettered Toyo's are about the only thing that I suspect won't age well. That fad seems to have already come and gone (thankfully) but the body kit and restoration in general seems top notch. This was peak BMW in my opinion. 840's & 850's, M3's & M5's, 964/965's and 993's, R33 GTR's, 2Jz's... what a time to be alive!

[@UrbanCha0s]

Darn, with that livery on the wrap the car really stands out. Excellent work. Those rear arches and the stance!

[@thewedge8823]

wish the wide body wasn't just an overlay with the rivets sticking out. the panels should have been replaced with lightweight fiberglass or carbon... like the Koenig SPecials kit.

[@peakperformance8960]

Yeah would look great with the kit molded onto the car, it looks cheap like this

[@jakebarberena6420]

I own a 1993 850ci and I will be getting this kit soon!

[@talkingmods]

Jake, if we can help out on getting the kit please reach out to us at ModBargains 714.582.3330 would be happy to do so.

[@peakperformance8960]

Shame to ruin an 850 with a tacky pandem kit

[@kasperkkjaer123]

It is not an M57, that is an inline 6 cylinder.

[@kevinmodbargains3599]

such an awesome experience having the car in our possession!

[@liquidmamba5120]

i have an 840ci and its has to be done. pandem kit acquired. thanks for the inspiration

[@e.l.9589]

Finally a channel that uses the description feature.

[@claylittlewood540]

One of the few BMWs that is actually sharp looking ..

[@C42ST3N]

The Toyo is a good value semi slick, but when it comes to total grip and race tyres the question is, do you need a good value tyre. You already spend a ton of money for your car and if you can get a much better tyre for just a bit more money, why would you not go for it. The tyre is the most important part on a race / sports car.

[@raymonddiaz9592]

Absolutely love this build. A widebody E31 👏

[@Crucifex666]

One of the best looking builds i have ever seen👌🏻

[@talkingmods]

Thank you :)

[@ILLAILLS]

I would cry everyday seeing this in my driveway 😂. A work of art

[@mzzzzz2179]

The black wide body kit looks so sick!

[@Everything_Lincolnshire]

that has to be the smartest wide body car ive seen and that wrap is the dogs dangles !!

[@Anirossa]

1:09 that E34 looks just like mine, pre-facelift and Delphin metallic with OEM Style 5s 😍😍😍

[@maybelol6886]

Nice project dude !

[@talkingmods]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@alejandroaguilar9038]

IT IS POSSIBLE TO DO A 6 SPEED SWAP THAT WAKES UP THE CAR 100%

[@pushitsomewhereelse]

I think you got the engine codes mixed up

[@N0ENEMIES]

I have always wanted to see someone do some crazy mods to one of these. So dope!

[@kevinkev1530]

The livery is beautiful, interior looks immaculate as well

[@do3844]

ive been searching the net for a wide body of this car for a year now and finally !

[@carrier7676]

What an amazing build! Tiny grill for the win!

[@talkingmods]

Thx, hahaha yeah!

[@Norcal1990]

the BMW 90s generation fucking looked Boss

[@orlandorolandomotadelcampo8919]

It looks furious. This is what the movies need 😀👍

[@amit223]

Is that a Pandem wing or can we get this wing separately?

[@antonfloor344]

This BMW is real sick 👍🏼👍🏼, just needs a manual.

[@sukhaujla]

What offset did you guys go on the wheels. Perfect fitment

[@talkingmods]

Thx, it was all done by our Kevin here - lots of calculations. If you are interested in help with one, feel free to call into ModBargains at 714.582.3330 or email him direct at [e-mail]. :)

[@papa_pt]

dislike bc man there are a LOT of differences between this motor (the M or S70 not 57) and the McLaren F1 engine. DOHC, VVT..the basic block architecture was the same. if it's a 850CSi motor then it's the s70 5.6 The car looks awesome

[@talkingmods]

Thanks A, in the original cut I actually mentioned that there was a difference, but got cut thanks. Regardless this motor was the backbone for what later became the Mclaren's motor also in my eyes one of the last great v12's.

[@Frostpact]

@@talkingmods Still incorrect. The Ci got the M73 Engine, the CSi got the S70 Engine which in another development was put into the mclaren F1.

[@mike_oe]

An interesting interpretation of a classic GT car. But I wonder what it's intended for? Showrooms? Trackdays? Sunday drives? If I was ever to get one of these, I'd go for the lighter 840 with a manual tranny, add moderate turbos and lighten the car as much as possible without sacrificing comfort. No body kit, pls, the car is already wide. Then I'd take it for a very long drive in the Alps and along the Mediterranian coast.

[@alejandroaguilar9038]

I AM RUNNING 18X10.5 ON THE REARS I DO WANT THAT WIDE BODY KIT

[@imfuctifino]

i get it , I really do , that looks stunning .. but i'm torn because i fear they butchered a really clean mint looking car for this look instead of a rusty old binner

[@fmherasme]

I love it.... I think this is the route I'll take with my E31

[@talkingmods]

when you are ready the team here at ModBargains can help you, feel free to hit us up, [e-mail]

[@Dominikmj]

The original car is amazing. I don’t though like the aggressiveness at all! The 850 was always an elegant GT car. The widened and too low stance looks not great. A bit constraint would have do wonders. However the livery really works and make it work slightly better!

[@Soravia]

Such a great car and you put on fenders using rivets like it's a Civic DX with eBay body kit.

[@giuseppelavecchia775]

Macchina incredibile,un capolavoro assoluto !!

[@LT64444]

That thing is gorgeous. Unbelievable.

[@medihedayati9132]

Anyone know where I can get more info on the build? I’m mainly looking for suspension set up and wheel/tire specs. I have an airlift kit from a previous car I wanna use and I wanna get the widebody kit.

@@talkingmods Thank you very much!

[@shakennotstirred3607]

5.8L M57??

[@solunasunrise]

one very important convertion i would do : get rid of this stupid automatic and give it a nice simple gearbox with a stick shifter ! maybe the stock one that belongs to this engine (in other E31 models that are produced as manual) but i can t tell if you did something with the engine so might need something else

[@trcs3079]

What's a stick shifter

[@solunasunrise]

would ve gone for bigger breakes ... still quite a bit of room in those wheel barrels if you look closeley

[@talkingmods]

We did go big brakes, we went biggest we could with the Brembo Big Brake Kit in red. The rears nothing was available, we had to paint the rear calipers and put on better rotors and pads.

[@solunasunrise]

@@talkingmods well believe it or not ... there are in fact bigger brakes(disks) out there and why rely on brembo ? i m just pushin on this so hart because the build screams to become a heizer-auto .. german slang for car to go fast .... or rennauto (race car)

[@talkingmods]

Yes bigger disc brakes if possible sure(however the kit was designed with certain factors by engineers), but Brembo cause of the designed brake bias (in having a specific kit), we can't just throw on any Brake kit on a vehicle, it would completely throw off it's balance unfortunately, but during this build, I do know Brembo was consulted on the rotors etc and thats how all this came about. Perhaps, I should do a talking mod about brakes... hmm topic idea. Appreciate the feedback and you watching! Thank you

[@luisnunes5274]

when the bumper grills had a modest size in bmws and looked good

[@danielfrohner7351]

WRONG informations starting 1:17 minutes: - 1st mistake: 5.8 (liters) = wrong Correct is: 5.4 liters (5,379 cc) - 2nd mistake: M57 (even NOT M70B50) = wrong Correct is: M73B54 (‚54’ stands for 5.4 liters) Please CORRECT for Your reliability

[@talkingmods]

Thx Daniel, yes spoke about it on a few of the comments, but all good thank you

[@maxboya]

Looks great. In my opinion and experience; bout quarter of an inch to half an inch less of width on the panels would’ve of made the car more “modernized”. Front you did well in size reference, the rear is just a tad much. Granted to each their own, although I would of taken a bit off the rears. Smidge on the front to enhance the remaining body lines of the vehicle. But I’m nitty gritty truth be told. Beautiful color. I never see the purple but still a flawless color.

[@martinmann5917]

Most amazing design 8 series ever built. Looks just so sexy, real banger. Wheels colour interior wide body kit every detail. I love it But This Wrap!!!? MISUNDERSTANDING.

[@johnbrennan8611]

Now they need to find a wrecked 07-10 E63/E64 V10 M6 with the rare 6 speed & swap it in. Build would be absolutely legendary then.

Engine is not related to mcl f1. Both are v12 and made by bmw but not related. The mcl f1 engine is more like a e36 m3 inline 6 doubled.

[@trianifeA7x]

Tho I like it. I don't like riveted body kits. A very lazy solution to a widebody. Maybe for a track or driftcar. But for a show car. Why not use fiberglass and Bondo to flush out the fender moldings. Make it look factory.

Thanks, love Gordon Murray's genius (unfortunately we cut the engine talk on it in editing, but great link ) and good to know that the straight six's came off the inspiration of the McLaren's motor (regardless BMW really flexed their motor ability's back then when no one else could)

It would be if it had a manual

[@Bacondavidlettuce]

Bruh this is not even close to the same engine as the mclaren f1. You said m57 ( that’s a diesel i6) but it’s actually an m70 which is two m20 engines joined at the crank whereas the mclaren f1 has an s70/2 which is two euro spec s50s joined at the crank Completely different motors🙄

[@talkingmods]

Ben mentioned it multiple times in the comments - it was edited out :) as always love my BMW guys

[@bartg7790]

Has anything been done to the motor? The point of a widebody is to accommodate wider tires for high hp applications. Widebodies on slow cars is just modern day rice imo.

[@mattyb1624]

WRONG WRONG WRONG. 1: The M57 is a diesel engine. 2: That is NOT a McLaren F1 engine other than the block. 3: They built over 20,000 850i 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks I think I address it in another video (I actually went to explain that) but it got edited out... lol funny how many comments we've had about it. Love my fellow BMW enthusiasts :)
