    It's 1370kg with 1/2 tank of fuel now, but with other weight saving mods like pole positions, de-cat, aftermarket silencers etc all having an effect. Not a bad bias either according to the corner scales.

      From Japan by the looks of the registration book.
      Pic of the engine is worth scrolling through to. v12 = 2 x s50 if I recall.

      • There's an article in November's edition of BMW Car on BMW V12's.
        As they quite rightly point out the McLaren F1's engine (S70/2) was loosely based on the 850csi's V12 (S70B56) (which in turn was based on the M70 from the 850i), as well as being based on the never released M8's V12 (S70).
        Their words: "While some simply refer to it as two E36 M3 engines joined together, that's probably selling it a little short !"

        Regardless, it's a dream car... but in a different colour please.

          That's what people said back in the day, there are some pictures of a F1 engine removed from the chassis and you can see the similarities to the S50B30/B32 even down to the vanos system
