Well its a V12..... from a 750i or an 850i?
318iS became MR2 Turbo became FTO GPX Mivec became Impreza became Rover 620Ti became Honda S2000 (current) became Fiesta 1.25 and 200SX Drift Slag (when the Honda has gone)

Not sure but its quite alot. A friend showed me one day that if you set a 50p coin on its edge on top of the engine its so smooth that it wont topple over.
I'd love a 8 series V12!

that engine could be:
M70 - V12 SOHC 24V. 1988-1994. 155kg 341lbs
Used in E32 750il, 850i
5.0 (300bhp)

or

M73 - V12 SOHC 24V Single VANOS. 1995-2001. Pre 98 engines were non-VANOS. 150kg 330lbs
5.4L (326bhp)

or

S70 - V12 SOHC 24V. 1995-1997. 165kg 363lbs
Used in 850CSi
5.6L (380bhp)

or (but rather unlikely)

S70/2 - V12 DOHC 48V Solid Lifter Valvetrain with Dual VANOS and Individual Throttle Bodies
Used in McLaren F1 (Was originally developed for m8series)
6.1 (627bhp)

The mclaren has single vanos, infinitly variable like the S50B30 found in the E36 3.0 motors,
With great challenges comes great engineering.
