Just got the price for the 5.0 litre V10 BMW engine

[blackslbenz]

Just got a call from the BMW rep and he gave me the price for the V10 engine.
This amazing piece of technology can be had for around 36,827.35 USD.

Can this fit in a 2005 C6 Corvette? More over can it fit in a Lotus elise? Think of the possibilites.

I think I'd rather have the Z06 V8 in the 'Vette, as it's cheaper, gets better gas milage, and has more torque for the same amount of power.

That's a ridiculous amount of money for an engine.

You got that right EN, i could get a 900kw XR6T motor for $US37K

The LS2 and C6 were made for each other though, what good will the 5L V10 do

How much does the 427 cost?

Best guess would be anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000 USD for the crate engine, since it's all hand-built. No official prices released yet.

The LS2 (400hp base C6 engine) can be bought as a crate motor for $5,859.95 USD.

As a rule, anything new and German costs too much.

that would be mental, they only weigh 1.1ton with the M3 plant. I think they'd be better off whacking it into the GT.

I'd love to bolt one into one of the old M5s, cause they look way better.

Wow, that is alot of money. But what I think is alot of money is the Murcielago's engine. Upwards of 85 grand I have heard!!!

Please explain how Chevy V8s are "low quality". Keep in mind that relatively low power-per-displacement is irrelevent when there's no limit on displacement.
