4. Willy Izaguirre's BMW E9 3.0 CSL
After seeing Jon Sibal's rendering of the car, Willy asked him straight up if he could build a car based off his imagining. The artist granted him permission and wished him good luck in scratch building something with such extreme dimensions. Imagine his shock when he saw it at SEMA in the Toyo Treadpass for the first time! Starting with a rusted-out '73 3.0 CS coupe, Willy reproduced the wide fenders and spoilers from the original "Batmobile" racecar in fiberglass. BBS wheels measuring 17x9.5 in front and 17x15.5 in the rear fill out the added width of the car, and a turbo'd S52 engine and 6-speed trans out of an E36 M3 give it racecar power and feel. There's still more to come for the car as well, so keep an eye on on Instagram!
