The 540 wagon weighs a bit more than a Ti or a 3 series wagon,
But at least the engine is already in the car,
Now how to get 500 Ph from that 4.4 V8 ?
There is no way you'll get a 5 series wagon to do 10 seconds without gutting it down to just the essentials and slapping boost of major proportions on it, either a big ass turbo or monster blower, those things get up and go stock but 10 second 1/4 mile times are a whole different story.. If you want a 10 second drag car why not build a tube frame car and skin it with whatever look you're going for, ie a BMW skin..?
