BMW V12 coin balance

[yambo59]

Looks to me like the coin is set up between the valve covers ribs so not as likely to move sideways -- still pretty impressive, many engines would not do this. If it wasnt a V12 BMW I'd suspect super glue -

[kwazykilla87]

@yambo59 it is between the ribs but i dont think its super glued because that engine is smooth as butter with double vanos technology

[yambo59]

@kwazykilla87 I'll have to take your word for it, I know BMW has some pretty sophisticated electronic controls. But whats more impressive to me is the rare engine with no electronics that runs this smooth - I used to be a mechanic, and the only one ive seen with that kind of idle smoothness was believe it or not a '67 Oldsmobile 330 V8 - for some reason that engine was glass smooth, passengers frequently thought the engine had died - and with a carburator too-!! I miss that car.

[kwazykilla87]

@yambo59 that is impressive stuff yet before my time. I did do some research on the 330 and its a sharp looking car, I can imagine that for its time it was as well. Did reading on the engine and your right they had high remarks on the development and execution of the 3 engine trims..

[sledgehammer911]

they glued it on.

[HyperbolicSine]

I6 and V12 engines are the best configurations to reduce vibrations.

[Brandpeak]

It´s super glue. Only the 12 cylinders before 2001 did the coin check sucessfully.

[darkie21o]

glue??????????????????????????­???????noob 

[sOvidiu74]

i hope that coin wasn`t with super glue

[Alpejohn]

Thats a great looking engine compartment! Just love the V12 engine, looks so great! :-)

[cookiehead2]

Good engine mounts help too

[Havana69]

Some friends and me did this to an 523i E39, works perfectly.

[allu771]

7 class?

[seannz100]

my engine would throw that coin down the road

[yambo59]

@seannz100 LOL I know what you mean, same with my 2003 S10 V6 - that coin would have fell into the fan and "put my eye out"- lol -- I sure miss my old small block chevys, idled much better than this nervous ass 4.3 V6,, good engine but GM has never made a smooth V6 to compare with a V8 IMO anyway.

[ZX2Fast]

I can take two mounts off my car and do the same thing by super gluing the coin on there. Let's see how complicated we can make an engine, BMW. That should be their tag line. More moving parts and wires means more reliable, right?

[177SCmaro]

I'm sure there's an engine in there somewhere...I think.

[sinancetinkaya]

BS, fake

[evilsadvocate]

unreliable

[loMegaIsBeast]

@evilsadvocate its unreliable cuz dumbass's never change the oil or do the regular maintenance

[roqe666]

what glue did you use :-)

[36328ie]

HE SELLS HIS BUT CHEEKS AND WORKS 3 JOBS JUST TO KEEP THAT PIECE OF CRAP RUNNING, BIGGEST MISTKE BMW EVER MADE.... E36 ALL THE WAY

[obezana]

@36328ie whys that a piece of crap? i love E36.. its my favorite car but theres nothing wrong with other engines.. M70 is a fine engine.. only weighing 42 pounds more than a cast iron block 6

[36328ie]

@obezana i bought one from an old lady, its plegged with very expencive problems that are very hard to fix, and diagnose, and alot of internet reviews will back me. they often need to be rebuilt. mechanics will send you else were and tell you stuff "this is crap sell it" "you will never stop fixing it" "drive it off a cliff"

[obezana]

@36328ie well its a good thing im a mechanic then.

[T67GS300]

If it were a Lexus you would've been able to redline it without the coin moving.

[stydel311]

no thats cool

[95115964]

WooooooooooooooooooooooooW

[azzedine95200]

wwwwwwaaaaaaaoooooouuuuuuu

[johnn2400]

BMW brother... just look at that masterpiece they call egine.

[gokramer2]

@johnn2400 I believe they call it engine.

[gokramer2]

@johnn2400 I believe they call it an engine.

[dano670]

moooore!

[EthanCommins888]

I love the sound of the V12 starting up.

[streetracerm5]

This IS e38.

[filip000]

this is e38...

[deepsilber]

Looks more like a E38 ...

[THUSxFAR]

ihave a dodge charger v1o...that shit is g

[dumapies]

@THUSxFAR

charger v10?...lol you fail at trying to be rich

[THUSxFAR]

@dumapies I have a Srt charger with the viper engine swap..videos up soon

[dumapies]

@THUSxFAR whats wrong with the stock 5.7 hemi?

[THUSxFAR]

@dumapies nothings "wrong" with the engine but it can be somewhat under powerd, i mean it only has 350hp, mine has 650. compare & contrast rain turns into snow, water rushing over ice, starting it feels like intercourse.

[dumapies]

@THUSxFAR this V12 only has about 300hp....smooth as butter and plenty of torque

[theflyingcondor]

@THUSxFAR

I suppose 350hp would feel inadequate at pulling along a 4200lb land barge.

[jtre86]

@THUSxFAR where is your 650 hp charger then dog?

[jtre86]

@THUSxFAR where is the video of your viper V10 srt-8 charger? You are a liar it has been seven months and still no video...

[creamyfilling102]

@dumapies if i was rich, i would rather get a hopped up charger than a several hundred thousand dollar european waste.

[obezana]

@creamyfilling102 several hundred thousand dollar? theyre nowhere near that expensive moron....

[creamyfilling102]

@obezana well, over a hundred grand. that's expensive enough to not be worth it. if i ever feel like driving down the road with a coin balancing on the tappet cover, then i'll pump out the extra dough, but in the mean time no thank you.

[obezana]

@creamyfilling102 u can get a bmw v12 for 20 grand... but have fun living in ur own world...

[creamyfilling102]

@obezana are we talking the same units of currency here? or a 20 year old used one? now YOU'RE the moron.

[obezana]

@creamyfilling102 20,000 USD. but keep paying full , marked up price at a dealer genius.

[vetteburna]

@obezana 20k for a 300hp V12??? You can easily get a low mileage S85 from a wrecked M5 with no hassle, maybe even a SMG tranny along with the sale.. You're getting ripped off for your engines bro.

[obezana]

@vetteburna no i was just throwing that out there, saying its alot less than several hundred thousand dollars^^^ lol

[WeHybrid]

@dumapies what do you mean charger v10?

[dumapies]

@WeHybrid

the guy said he has a dodge charger with a v10, and chargers don't come with V10's, they come either with a 3.6 V6, 5.7 Hemi V8 or a 6.1 Hemi V8

[Novous]

No. effin. Way. I salute you and your BMW!

[alfajam]

Is this an M70 in an e39?
