BMW E31 and 1€ coin @ idle trick

[omiblingbling]

noone fucks with Germans!

[SERBE4EVER]

this isn't a trick this is reality xD

[ElbyStump]

I am amazed it still has the original DK motors on it!

[SedanChair]

So thaaaat's what the lines are for

[1D0N]

Now I have to respond here. The way you set the coin, you put the lower end of the curve in between one of 2 grooves on the fuel line cover, which gives the coin extra balance.

The real trick is to have the coin stand on one of the silver lines (as these are "tops" and not in between the "valleys" in between them) and have the coin stand in line with the silver groove.

I did the same trick with my M52 engine, but with the mentioned setup. v=8rB5FWvL5ig

[Iam18yearsolddddd]

try that on a 3 cylinder diesel engine

[hennep1984]

put it on my engine and it will fall off . i have 4 cilinders dohc

[HYRObkd]

I did that test on my 750iL and the coin was standing as a rock, great engines!

[surfer53]

V12 sounds big and powerful, but these were really the anti-muscle car engines. HP wasn't as important as smoothness and comfort. Then again, if you did want to go fast, these cars came in a comfort and sports setting, which changes the whole sensation of the ride.

[naturalyshocked]

the term 'muscle car ' is idiotic itself.

: )

the germans made a agreement between themselfs.

limit their cars to 155.

while cars in the USA where limited to 130m/h.

most of them dind't even reach 130m/h with a 5.7 or bigger engines.

otherwise 400km/h was a standart about 20 years ago in germany.

this would have caused many more deaths.

[2jzgtejza80]

@naturalyshocked

I don't know why, but I agree with every part of your comment :D

[pcoetzee]

@naturalyshocked Speed doesn't cause deaths, it's reckless driving.

[TTibble]

@pcoetzee Guns dont kill people, People kill people lol

[Kochiminator2]

straight 8 cylinder has even less vibrations

[Vova993]

Lol! The "low cost version"

[OddErikM3]

nice trick :) V12 never fail this test !! how many kilometers has it ?

[MarkoNurmenniemi]

about 98 000km, give or take some

[ConvenientCow]

@OddErikM3 you mean does it have? lol sorry had to

[z2a1x]

the more cylinders you have, the less vibration

[spasticteapot]

Yes and no. Radial engines are often extremely rough despite having over 30 cylinders.

[Onicle]

not true. straight 6 is ideal basis since it doesnt have much vibrations naturally, second best i v12 (2x i6)

[Rote70SS]

You have it backwards. While it is true that a V12 is essentially (for harmonics purposes) two I6's sharing a common crank, the V12 will be as smooth or smoother due to the more even distribution of ignition events per crank rotation. This means a smoother application of torque to the crank and fewer "dips" where the crank is not being accelerated.

[Adasiek9595]

@z2a1x no, there is just more vibration i one sec, example 6 cylinder would have 100 per sec, and V12 would have 200, thats why you dont feel it :D

[hansy555]

@z2a1x

well, that's not true.

v8 makes much more vibrations than v6, for instance. amount of vibrations depends primarily on camshaft geometry. there are basically 3 kinds of v engines. v2 (v4, v8), v6 (v12) and v10, and the design of v12 engine camshaft allows the least of vibrations to be made. of course, vibrations can be reduced with engine suspension, but that has nothing to do with kind of the engine you have. also, sound of different kinds of v engines has many differences (v12/v8 sound)

[Tun1NGManiac]

@z2a1x That's a big mistake there. A inline-6 engine is "smoother" than a V8. The V12 is probably the most balanced engine, since it is two inline-6 engines sharing the same crankshaft.

[pagonise]

omfg that is unbalivable :o

[flipkid64]

so smooth but add dohc and vanos and you have a maclaren f1

[MarkoNurmenniemi]

In addition you will also need ~50k€ for each side of the engine...but basictly yes.

[MrORLY]

I'll probably get 'down'd' for this but i read in ALOT of places, the McLaren had more to do with the E36 M3 engine than the E31 V12.

[kentoldhoj]

Its not that simple. The V12 was originally developed on basis of the small 6, alltho the final engines didnt share any parts.

It meant that when building the McLaren engine, they where able to use alot of internal parts from the M3 shelf. Including VANOS.

So your right... the McLaren V12 is closely related to the M3 inline-6, but its not a "double-M3". Its more like a V12 block with M3 internals... and then some ;-)

[MrORLY]

Thanks for clearing that up ;)

[ahmadosama]

That is actually correct. In fact, the McLaren F1 BMW engine utilizes double-vanos technology that was first integrated with the e36 m3 engine.

[su79nioj]

I've uploaded a video of the same trick on a 1993 Cavalier/Vectra with 257,000km.

[kregzdeM3]

we dont care! wrong area go in ur opel videos!

[su79nioj]

ROFL!

[naturalyshocked]

mine has about 75.000km, built in '93.

i run smooth, but nmever tried it.

[dvaifilmsdotcom]

i love bmw's

[longebor]

those cars wont be built anymore

[stuartwhite224]

These cars aint been built for about 8 years u twat

[MarkoNurmenniemi]

And this one was built on 1991
