    BMW Performance Engines Parts

    Hey Guys,

    Need some help here for those you who knows these things,

    appearently everyone in Australia only knows ford and chev v8s, no one knows jack about BMW, so i was hoping you guys living in USA or Europe might able to help me out,

    any good BMW engine rebuilders for a S70 V12 or a E65 V12 ? need for racing application ideally around the 600hp mark, my budget on the engine is about $80K AUD ($60K USD), i don't want to stuck a v8 chev like everyone else, taken the heart out of it.

    based on a striped out 840, will enter the car as a 850 . having a nice wide body onto the 840 looks great, we are still trying to "cut and paste" a few other things, i can get a holinger tranny that's not a problem, just the engine.

    I've looked at Hamann and Alpina's stuff, mostly turbo charge or supercharge for horse power, first i have to leave the motor NA, and second, i could have got it in AUS for a very cheap price. M department's motor is like $400K, and i dont think its worth it for that money, i could get a 2nd hand Diablo Engine for like $50K USD

    Perhaps you should go for the 450 kit and use some NOS or something... If it's allowed in Australia.

    well the 480hp he claimed he got thought light mods, ECU,exhaust, induction kits etc. I m sure its not hard to get 600hp out of a V12 or V8... did i mention i think that’s his everyday car...? since i have been around there, they seem to trusting bavaria cars, www.bavariacars.com.au

    yeah, i didn't think it be hard to crank out 600 horse for a v12, especially the E65 6 litres. upgrade the camshaft, new pistons, new valves, a good performace intake (see if morrison motorsport can custom make a v12 one, their v8 ones are fantastic!), good back end, Motec ECU. stock motor has enough torque, needs bit more at the high end. i seriously can't see why it can't be done.

    drop a ford or chev v8 into any shop, 20K spent on it will get you a decent NA 600hp on the flywheel, i'm allowing a budget of 80k, of course cheaper the better, and no one knows how to do it.

    i've looked at the bavariacars mate, seem like they do turbo and blowers, i need the motor NA.

    cheers bros

    If you are seriouse about this you should contact a motorsport team in Tasmania called "Creative Motorsport" They are new in motorsport, but there work is perfect, and not to expensive like most motorsport teams and they specialize in BMW's
    If you want there contact information please send me a private message.
