Holy shit, how have I only just found out about this engine?

both of those weigh more by considerable amounts

this isnt about hurr muhhp

protip

every engine in the world is "how much power do you want to make"

>9 wins
>1 wold championship
>15 pole positions
>lel engine a shit

I'm not even a BMW Fag but the engine wrecked everyone at the time.

You're fucking autistic and that engine is a piece of shit

noob here, be gentle. Why don't they adobt lightweight engines likes this into production cars? Something like this would be mental in a small car like a golf/A45

>muh power to weight
>backpedals when you realize forced induction isn't impressve
>doesn't realize this had more power to weight than the nissan engine

Hell it even made 1100hp at some point, out of a 250 pound engine.

and if you want more evidence here

youtube.com/watch?v=hPwBSF80s_g

Hell those 3000hp LSTT Motors have more power to weight.

stop getting mad and posting shit like it means anything

you arent proving anything more than how ignorant you are

It's how much power you want to make VS how much is it going to cost VS how long you want it to last.

I'm guessing durability or emissions or something

>retired
>retired
>retired
Yeah they did great.

86lbs:400bhp = 1:4.8ish
250lbs:1100bhp = 1:4.1ish

Uh do you into ratios

Superbike engines make up to 200bhp from a 1000cc 4-cyl, but they don't really work in cars (and certainly not street cars) in large part due to their extreme peakines.

if you can can make as much power as you want then surely you could show me another 40kg 1.5l~ with 400hp and will survive for longer than 2 dyno runs

Why do people think BMW is good?

>prove me wrong arguments
If that motor was so great and reliable why isn't it available to the public masses?

I have no idea. It's boggled my mind since I was a small child and realized they suck.

>hurr durr ignorant
>still impressed by forced induction as if it's a new thing

come on senpai

Mainly durability to cost.

You can do all titanium everything but it'll cost too much to produce.

You can make it light as fuck but it would end up not being very reliable.

that nissan engine also did great in racing, oh wait

surely you can show me some races that engine made, because you know, it was made for racing.

>it had to run on electric power instead

and now youve deteriorated into nothing more than shitposting

typical

>BMW M12 while being a shit engine finished races and even won some and a world championship
>Nissan Zeod engine couldn't finish one race

Are you the one talking shit on the BMW engine that's twice as old as you are?

Pro tip: you'll never drive anything with that relative power, ever.

...

If BMW so sporty and good why aren't they in F1?

I hate when people think BMW makes sports cars.

Why aren't Nissan/Toyota/GM/VW/Ford in F1

3 cylinder 1.5 liter 400 hp engine swapped geo metro swap when?

Toyota was.

So was BMW

We already knew that... Try to keep up

BMW pushed 1400hp-1500hp out of the 1.5l engine
Lol retards
''In 1980, BMW announced their development of a turbocharged motor for the Brabham F1 team. The BMW M12 engine first raced in the 1982 season. The M12/13 engine won at the 1982 Canadian Grand Prix at the hands of Nelson Piquet; Riccardo Patrese was the team's other driver. The following season, BMW supplied engines to the ATS team; the factory-backed Brabham took four victories on its way to Piquet's championship win. Two more victories came in 1984, and BMW added Arrows to its list of teams who received its engines. In 1985, Piquet's Brabham, who was now teamed with Marc Surer, managed only one win.

In 1986, BMW started to supply engines for the new Benetton team, who earned the only win for a BMW engine at the hands of Gerhard Berger. However, the factory-backed effort at Brabham met with little success with the return of Patrese and Derek Warwick. At the end of the 1986 season, BMW announced it would drop out of Formula 1 at the end of the 1987 season.

BMW's M12/13 engine, however, continued to be used, because Megatron bought the rights to the engines for the Arrows team. The Ligier team was also supplied with the engine for the 1987 season. Following the 1988 season, turbocharged motors were banned, and Arrows ended its use of the former BMW engine.

The BMW M12/13 turbocharged straight-4 engine was famous during its life for being the first Formula 1 engine capable of 1,000 hp (746 kW) in racing trim, although it was capable of nearly 1,400 hp (1,044 kW) for qualifying with modification of its boost. This engine had a bore and stroke of 89.2 mm (3.5 in) x 60.0 mm (2.4 in), giving a displacement of 1,499.79 cc. Maximum crankshaft speed was 11,200 rpm. Peak power b.m.e.p. was in the region of 1,000 lbs/sq.in.''

Should I keep posting all the retirements? There's A LOT more....

...

That engine had an iron block and weighed 170kg.

Who the fuck cares if the engine was hugely successful?

>400hp
>89ft/lbs

It wasn't successful.
They kept trying and trying and it kept blowing up.
No one liked that engine.

Yeah that`s why they used the engine for 8 years in a row
They just kept on trying and trying lmao

You seem to be ignoring the massive amounts of failures
But then BMW fags have never been able to see the whole picture.

Show me one turbocharged F1 engine of the era without massive amounts of failures you dumb cunt

>170kg
You could have one of those nissan food mixers for each wheel.

Holy shit really?
>mfw 89lb/ft
NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT

Why does it matter

Its only going in a race car, so it really doesn't, but if that were to be in a street car it'd probably be intensely unpleasurable to drive.

Nah, it's fun

I think they made like 2 before realising it was shit.
also it doesn't weigh 40kg with everything attached

Why is this shit making the rounds again? this fucking picture is like 4 years old

I want it so bad

basically a turbo busa engine with 3 large cylinders?

It's pretty neat. They stuck it in the delta wing

NISSAN > EVERYTHING ELSE

HAHA AND YOU KEKS DOUBTED THE TRUE POWER OF NISSAN

BOW TO NISSANS GLORY KEKOLDS

HAHAHA

I wish I could shoop. I'd start putting all sorts of things in his hands.
