Twistee 461 Report post Posted October 9, 2021 Yo dog, I hear you like spark plugs.... That is an amazing piece of engineering, I had to really look at the valves to work out what was going on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Early Apfelbeck-designed 16-valve diametral cylinder head for M10-based engines, designed for F2 racing. Sometimes called a 'radial' valve engine as like valves do no sit next to each other - an inlet valve sits opposite an exhaust valve and the close adjacency helps keep things cool. These engines, known as the M12 and M12/1, made up to 160hp per litre, normally aspirated, in the late 1960s. The built engine with opposing intakes looks more like a V8 than a 4-cylinder. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30 325i Rag-Top 2963 Report post Posted October 9, 2021 Clearly shows how much the 3 Series (like most cars) has grown in size over the years. Cool colours though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cool colours though! @E30 325i Rag-Top Too right Jon! I think they’re the same colour, my Kiwi friend works for BMW in Munich and the new one is his latest work lease car, the E30 is his mates’ car recently repainted. I think but may be wrong, Malachite Green. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
