    The best BMW engine ever?

    Jackie Stewart's son driving the F1 up through the Alps. Not actually a great vid, but a fairly serious car:

    Without a shadow of a doubt!!

    Nothing that was produced for the road even comes close to the glorious, mighty, stupendous [size=xx-large]S70/2[/size]

    Ive no experience with them but id say the top in my books would be the S54 & S85.

    Big shout out for my M43TU though, in 6 years it has never missed a beat nor has it ever burnt any oil it just keeps on trucking!

    M52 gets my vote, so good BMW de-tuned them so plenty of untapped power can be released relatively cheap!!

    Isn't the F1 engine two S52b32s joined together?

    M57 or M43, both great engines. If you looked after them, they'll look after you!

    As for the rest, complete dirt

    The m43 is a solid engine agreed. I ran mine for months years ago overheating and all. Still running fine, 20 years old engine now.

    1.7 diesel M47, obviously.
