I was wondering if the 5-litre V12 (M50?) engine has the same heads, pistons, etc. as the 2.5-litre M20 engines (as fitted in the 325i, etc), because I notice the cubic capacity is exactly double and that the dizzy caps look the same...
Cheers!
V12 heads

people have fitted 24v heads to V12's before tho, think it was m50 heads, pretty sure cylinder spacing is the same

If you was to fit m50 24v heads to a v12 one head would be the wrong way round wouldnt it so the exhaust would become the inlet ?

There's a topic on exactly that around somewhere ed325i
Reckon it could be possible to stick one on round the wrong way and drive the cams from t'other end some how though.
