Guest Ari Gold Report post Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) In this thread we post BMW motors and engine bays that make us weak at the knees, a short description is nice, but not required. I'll start: BMW 3.0 CSL M49 race motor: upright mount, slide throttles, twin chain driven cams, and exhaust the size of a sewer.

Guest Ari Gold Report post Posted March 14, 2010 E21 320i Group 5 M12/7: reversed head, The gold pieces on the motor (cam tray, lower timing cover and slide throttle case) are all magnesium - likely that the oil pan is well although they did construct these of aluminum as well. Valve covers were also magnesium......all in the name of saving a few ounces. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted March 14, 2010 On the performance side of things, McLaren contracted BMW to hand build the S70/2 engine, a 6.1 litre four cam 48 valve V-12 that provided 627 horsepower to the wheels and 479 pound feet of torque through a six speed racing gearbox. This allowed the car to accelerate from 0-60 mph in only 3.1 seconds and achieve a top speed of 231 mph. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30 325i Rag-Top 2958 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) ^^ wow, the Warrior 16v head on the 2ltr pinto block, the young apprentice's equivalent of the Cosworth, takes me back to my (mis-spent) youth! The ultimate BMW engine for me... S16 motor, with CF air box, looks sexy and sounds horny. One day I will have one, oh yes, one day!

mr E34 11 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) Mr E34's M30 engine on map, BMW's last evolution of this engine.(RWHP 187.7) Alpina M30 Bi-Turbo, the best limited production FI M30, maybe this is waiting in my Europe garage???? (RWHP 320-330) :D edit: Big block BMW V12 designed for McLaren F1, massive power for a large capacity (6064cc) engine back then,max pwr 627BHP @ 7400 rpm.Nice looking powerplant/inlet tract compared to modern plastic engines.
