Check it out cool details about the new M5 E60 engine. http://www.bmwm5.com/articles/m5e60/pressrelease2/julye60m5pressrelease2.html Thomas
How's your welding skills Thomas ? Reckon you could replicate those headers ? Those things are so compact I get dizzy just looking at the way the primaries intertwine 8o Wonder what the weight of that engine is.......maybe you could slot one in the race car that you're thinking of building Don't make it go BANG though......I think I counted about 337 parts in that last pic ! ($$$$$$!!) ;smilie[52]
the long block is listed at 108 kg I believe. Im a bit lighter than that an M30 is around 137 kg, and S50 about 155 kg John
Some engine weights listed here... http://www.unixnerd.demon.co.uk/enumber.html s70 5.6 V12 from the 850csi is only listed as 165kgs, impressive )
