Which gearboxes mate to the BMW V12?
And is the V12 used at the moment, used in the Maclaren F1, and X5 V12 the same engine (in essence) as the one in the 88 ish 750i?
The reason for this question is that my mate is a landrover nut, and we have a silly idea to put a V12 in a 110
but want to keep the 4x4 or else it's pointless. I don't fancy mating the V12 to the Landie box, and I think the box would break anyway, and it'd feel way too agricultural. So it got me thinking, does the X5 box and transfer bolt on to the V12, as in the X5 Le Mans V12 proto thingie. Anyway ramblings of a frustrated engineer!won't be doing the project for ages as I'm shipping out but it'd be interesting to see if anyone (Dips Glenn) have any views.
Obviously the 850 manual fits but they are rare as hens teeth, but if any of the others ftted I suppose the V12 conversion guys would all be going manual.
Also do you thing the old Landie Diffs and 1/2 shafts would be up to it. Or am I going to have to find some Mustang items
Heres some photos to keep you interested, and as a reward for reading all that
