Rey Rivera and his company REYN Speed Shop<\/a> spent four years creating their BMW “858 CSL” using an 850 (E31<\/a>) chassis and E60 M5 powertrain. <\/p>\n

The 850 originally came with a V12 but is now powered by a stroked and bored 5.8 L S85 V10 built by CarBahn<\/a>. It features a CarBahn 83 mm crank, CarBahn\/CP 94 mm forged pistons, Carrillo forged rods, CarBahn valve springs, CarBahn\/Clevite racing bearings, and Eventuri air intakes. The motor produces 630 hp (463 kW) and 490 lb-ft (664 Nm) of torque. <\/p>\n

Behind the motor is an E60 M5 six-speed manual transmission by Precision Sport Industries (PSI)<\/a>. PSI also helped with the wiring and making all the features work like factory. <\/p>\n

The car also incorporates the E60 M5 suspension and a set of Brembo GTS six-piston front brakes and four-piston rear brakes. Covering those are custom 18-spoke wheels designed and built by REYN Speed Shop.<\/p>\n

For the exterior Rey turned to designer Jon Sibal<\/a> to create a widebody using cues from other BMW models. Jon’s design replaced the pop-up headlights for functional air ducts. REYN Speed Shop then turned the design into a full carbon fiber body painted in BMW Silver Grey Metallic color. <\/p>\n

The interior features an E60 M5 steering wheel and gauges. Rey also installed a couple E36 M3 seats with Schroth Racing harnesses. The door panels, center console, and other pieces were wrapped in black leather while the headliner is Alcantara. <\/p>\n
