    2002 racecar with an M12






    Pretty amazing development. Also check out the 3.0CS with a S38 in the Customer Cars section.

    As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
    You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.

      QFT. There really isn't much left of an '02 on there.
      So what did an M12 come in? Only race cars?

                  you might want to buy one now then, since they have been going up in price. This ones for sale for 25000 euros right now, id bet they will be a 30000 euro by 2010

                    I have a friend who is a tech for a rich person, he works on his vintage race cars as a full time job.

                    He was telling me about this aluminum tube frame vehicle with aluminum box welded/riveted cockpit. They race it in California.

                    Well it has a 2.0 litre M12 with ITB's. Redline is 10k!!!
                    Absolutely nuts, I will try to get some pics from him!

                    What did the M12 come from?
                    Anyone have more history/background on these lil engines?

                      The M12/X engines did not come in a specific car. They were race motors that could be used in sedans or formula cars.

                      The 1.4 motor that powered Nelson Picket to world champion in 1983 (84) was a twin turbo M12 with 1200HP in qualifying trim.

                      Those M12 motors are available in different versions.
                      Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

                        1200 was actualy the race HP number. BMW maxed out there dyno when testing the motor. The actual HP number in qualifying was unknown. but it was belived to be over 1500 hp. The incredible part was the m12 was a modifyed m10 block. the early F1 turbo motors actualy ran m10 block. its the only production car block to be used in an F1 car.

                          In Qual. trim they ran close to 1400hp, and in race trim they ran at about 750-800hp. There was no way they could run them at that kind of boost for a whole race.



                          Afaik.
