No M12 for me.  I can't even imagine what a nightmare it would be putting one of those in an o2 with the intake and exhaust transposed (compared to standard M10 motors)...and they don't get happy until they are spun up to 7000rpm.  Schnitzer made it a lot easier by keeping the intake and exhaust same as production....a way before its time S14 M3 motor with mechanical injection.....My motor is done/done, just waiting for me to pick it up.

Oh yes... my bad.

 

Can't wait to hear/read more about the Schnitzer project as it gets installed and such.

folks pay more than the asking for this to have a painting to hang in their upstairs hallway........

 

this would be a kick ass work of art just sitting on an engine stand in the garage..or under a glass dining room table.

 

need to buy more lottery tickets....

[markmac]

Agreed, buy more lotto tickets.

If only I had the cash to drop this beast into my Agave green Historic Hillclimb racer...

That would just be beyond awesome!!

Ahhh my Facebook cover photo.

Interesting...more info needed on this blue car, please.

 

Upright engine design leaves more intake room (would work better on a RHD car, I'm guessing)

Boosterless brakes would glean a little more room

Where's the radiator?

Is the injector pump driven off one camshaft and the dizzy off the other?

 

What a beast this would be...traction would be a precious commodity.  I see full box flares stuffed with the widest meats you could fit. And what rearend could you run?

It's a group 5 by Gerent Rensport Tecknik in Germany.

Dyno run (orgasm!)

Also checkout this E21 with that F1 sound!
