I would upgrade the headlights a BIT, nothing drastic, but this thing is s-e-x-y!
Saw it on a recent episode of Top Gear where Clarkson chooses it over the new TVR Tuscan.
Top Gear reported that it used an M3 motor, but their site says a V8 that has pretty much the same specs as the E46 M3 motor. At any rate, here are the stats:
BMW V8
Capacity 4,799 cm³
Rated power/rated speed 270 kW/367 PS / 6,300/rpm
max. torque/speed 490 Nm / 3,400 rpm.
6spd Gearbox
RWD
Maximum speed: 280 km/h - Acceleration 0 -100 km/h: 4.6 sec.
If you get a chance, head over to The Pirate Bay and download episode 3 of this season. I believe that's the one where they drive this beast. The suspension is pretty amazing.

Except that thing won't break down every 20 miles and can actually handle. And it's German.

That episode was so funny, a Russian and a German company competing to be the best British sportscar...
That car is so sexy. I'd hit it.
