The best street engine ever built... Could be!

I'd go a Jap engine any day, specially bang for buck and reliability. Difference is the Jap stuff is made in large quantities so its not sooo wannna be exclusive :P

 

 

Except whenever a Japanese engine is decent, someone decides to call it 'legendary' (to which I'm not even sure how that works) and then it's as expensive or more expensive than any euro motor.

i'm sure theres some way to make it fit in a Z... I mean whats the worst that could happen, you have to relocate the firewall? LOL... In this case the 2+2 chassis would be better, you could do that and move the driver seat farther back by removing the rear seat right? (this is speculation, as I've never seen a 2+2 in person up close...

Ahh the E60 M5 yes a good engine indeed... plenty of HP to follow the torque of this beast. Double Vanos FTW! I own a BMW E39 and it is a great car to drive! I didn't like my E39 at first but it immediately grew on me. Its just a 528i 2.8 L but i get some thrills punching the throttle sometimes :)

Ya know.... :wink: if you get the urge for more power over than the M52 is willing to deliver, the LSx fits quite nicely under the hood of the E39... :2thumbs:

 

A few examples!
