its one of the best engines BMW ever built, if not the best imo.
But you guys wouldn't believe how many hardcore BMW enthusiasts in the motherlands were yelling blasphemy because BMW put some turbos on the engine (and did with the actual V8tt and V12tt).
BMW had to make a move like this, other German manufacturers or lets say BMW direct business rivals like Audi and Mercedes turbo- and supercharge their cars like nothing else.
And despite all the boosting they manage to match the car's emissions to the EU regulations of the Euro 5 and Euro 6 norms.
My car has Euro 3 and that only because I got a secondary air pump to preheat the cats for better emissions.......in the eyes of the EU my car emits pure death lol.
