never seen a car with two calipers per rotor before...

E36 320is (touring cars) had massive 2 twin caliper set ups in the front back in the mid 90s.

What engine is that? Is that a M60/M62 variant that's been stripped of it's black plastic glory, or is that something different?

I wonder if it's even driven..

I wonder if it's even driven..

I'm sure it is. No one would sink that kind of money & hardware into an E30 just to look at it :P

And to add, there's a 75 Rolls Corniche at work with 2 calipers in the front.

Really? Maybach, S600...

you forgot lamborghini murcielago (sp?)

[cramer]

pretty damn cool :) it does look like they at least drive it, probably race it, judging by the marks on the wheels and bumper.

Anybody have some links or more info on the dual caliper setup?

[1985bmw325e]

on any dual caliper setup or just this one on the car? Try the speedoptions link i posted. i didn't really look much on that link just the pictures

[cramer]

i'm interested in the bmw application.. i've seen twin caliper setups before, i'm curious what he upgraded to get it on an E30.

[Streetspec_iS]

pure madness!

[Jand3rson]

I remember that car. It used to have an M-Tech II kit and a big aluminum ricer wing.

And it's not an M3.

[e30excel]

very wild car indeed!

I wish I had that motor. 8)
