Just registered on the forum and pleased that I can share some useless knowledge.  The Ronin E34 is at least 2 different cars.  The main car is an M5 3.6 while the crash scenes are a "normal" E34.

I drove the wife mad rewinding sections of the chase to point out the disappearing sport seats (some shots sport seats, others normal seats).

I think the M5 wheels turn into cross spokes at some stage too.

Important stuff I think you will agree

Mark is right

I have the Special Edition DVD version which shows the making of the film and shows the chase scene and how they achieved it in great detail
