Apex 693 Report post Posted May 20, 2011 More here. http://www.ukipme.com/engineoftheyear/winners_11/winner.html Its like a cut and past of the winners from the last few years. I like these awards but wouldn't read to much into it. The twin air would be hopeless in NZ or anywhere with hills, I have seen a German review on the 500 Twin air vs the Diesel and they concluded the Diesel was a better option in every way, Cheaper, faster and more economical due to actually having torque and power.

mrad01 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2011 3-litre to 4-litre - BMW 4.0-litre V8 (M3) Sweet, another win. That's 4 years in a row. And with the news that the F10 M3 might keep the S65 and just add turbos to make it greener, life is good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
