The interesting thing is, this car was apparently never build by tuner Manhart...
So quite the error from Top gear who didn't do their homework

This car is the "Hornisse" which at some point was apparently labeled with manhart stickers/bodyart, supposedly when it was with a later owner in switzerland.....
Why and who did that is not clear but its strange to say the least, that a tuner (quite a famous one....) claims a build from another person.....

There are quite a few reports on the german z forum that it suffers from reliability issues.

There's also a guy in the UK that did a s85 swap.
The electrical part of the swap is supposedly the most difficult. Integrating the s85 ecu in the rest of the z4 (which is 1 or 2 generations older)
