Message: <blockquote data-quote="jugbugz" data-source="post: 1431674" data-attributes="member: 30892">Actually it's a 4.0 V8 400bhp. It's the same engine as the 5.0 V10 but with 2 cylinders removed. Note that BMW engineered the V10 to produce 50bhp for each 500cc cylinder. This was their target. I heard that they made more but detuned it to make exactly 50bhp for each 500cc which equals 500bhp out of a 5.0 V10. Makes sense hey... This just shows how much of the great engineering that BMW are capable of. I haven't heard of any other manufacturers with such detailed targets.So yeah.. the M3 will be a 4.0 V8 with 400bhp. Mine you that your statement of 400bhp going through the wheels isn't correct.A car with 400bhp at engine would only make about 320 Rear wheel hp.And stacks of force inducted BMW's are making like that or more. A 8psi supercharged 330 with right tuning can make 280rwhp. E36 M3's with 5.5psi supercharged already makes 355rwhp. Mine's already should be making around 255-270rwhp. A stock E46 M3 makes 253rwhp. These are all running 98 octane fuel ofcourse.That's why I get pissed at BMW when they make understated power figures compared with the likes of AMG and AUDI. It's BS! But like I said... The BMW engines are really nice to modify.I had a look at the S4 the other day and said 'how the F.... are you going to modify that?' You can't even stick your hand between anything. say goodbye to superchargers. RS4's are good.BTW guys, I got some new pics of my car and engine and my ASA supercharger.here's the link. Happy browsing!!http://au.msnusers.com/jugbugz/shoebox.msnw?Page=1</blockquote>
