This genuine BMW 1M was already a brilliant, snappy little attack dog of a car. But one day I looked at it and thought, “Yes, it’s quite good, but what it really needs is to be absolutely terrifying.”

So, with the help of @emporium.performance we have ripped out its N54 heart and stuffed in the magnificent S65 V8.

But we’re not stopping there. Oh no. Because we are allegedly somewhat unhinged, we’ve gone an bolted a massive ESS G1 supercharger to the top of it.

This magnificent beast is called PYRAT. And pretty soon, burying your right foot will make that glorious 4.0L V8 shriek all the way to a spine-tingling 8,600 RPM.
