BMW M88, this is what the engines in the Euro-spec M635 and M535's were based on, they had a bit less power though... still, 288 BHP isn't exactly terrible for a NA 3.5 I6 back in the 80's haha. The M5's and M6's that came state-side later in '87 and beyond were S38's, same block, lower compression though and they were catalyzed. That took power down to around 250 BHP.

[MisterGasMan]

great car. Difficult to get away from it with a recent race car in RFactor :)

[daxxas]

that's the face of a 50yo man with a boner.

[FrozenBlaze]

A few people swapped the engines in their M1's, into the S38B38's found in the BMW M5 E34's.

These people were criticized so much afterwards, that they swapped the engines back to the original ones.

As much as you'd wish to have more power in the M1, it's not going to be a classic, unless you keep the original engine in the car and in good condition.

If you want more power, you might as well just buy a newer M-car, or a Ferrari (if it has to be mid-engined).

[weldon0m]

IS THAT A 12B ROTARY?

[jitterball]

@weldon0m You are either on something or over thinking:))

[mikkars250]

@weldon0m lol

[joemadoo]

@weldon0m lol

[Jean2923]

besides being what is the difference turbo motor m1 and m5 E28 inside?

[powwerranger]

just got a boner.

[brownbananaman]

[SNYDAMAAN]

I bet this BMW is reeeaaalllyy expensive to maintain

[LemoneyFishmas]

3453cc Straight 6 N/A Beatiful piece of engineering

[BeamerDreamer93]

peak rpm anyone know

[iranpanah2007]

35000 sqr meter probably

[superfast30]

I believe it's 9000.

[lvferraripilot]

@superfast30  super short stroke motor with very little actual dynamic stroke due to very high duration cams. love it

[JivimNL]

Nee lul..

No, it's a 6 cyl straight.. I thiiiink...

[eeeeeees]

oh dear - they even show an engine close up and someone thinks it's a "rotoray"

[belgradeboy89]

haha. it does sound like a 4 rotor though. Yes its the inline 6.

[moung06]

The M1 engine is the same who will be fitted in 1984 bmw 635 csi: 3,5 liter, 6 cylinder 24 valve DOHC 286 hp.

[RAVAGERrules]

@JivimNL yup, straight 6 engine, the original was a 3.5 litre straight 6 with 277 bhp

[7urb0m4n]

@JivimNL 6cyl Straight 3.5L

[doogeeunit]

@1970bosshemi In the 70's?

[007bondspy]

this is not david deacon's car it is Ponsonby Blankensop's you silly penis taster of an excuse of a man

[laudersith]

That used to be David Deacon's car. I saw that at a Camel GT race back in the arly 80s at Mosport. Those were the glory days of endurance racing!

[mipmipmipmipmip]

according to the german N24/NTV documentary somewhere here on Youtube, the 2.0 liter turbo is said to reach 1000HP. Crazy.

[Heresyact]

That's a rather conservative estimate. It's a remarkable piece of engineering.

[MATNIYAZOV]

hammaga soglik salomatlik tilayman

[mbdrivr]

I saw these guys race at Mosport Raceway!! =D

Mind blowing...

[etiennexoc]
