BMW M3 E46 with a V10 & V12 engine?
I do not think you should do it and if you do, welding is going to be one of the MANY modifications you are going to have to make to both cars to shoe horn those engines in. If you go through with this ill advised project, you should recognize that both cars will be worthless. Whatever amount of money you put into this you will NEVER get recoup. The more exotically modified a car is, the more exotically modified the issues will be down the road. Still not convinced? Ok, then at least do this. Buy a junked E46 M3 that has little to no value and drop one of the engines in that.
What BMW car has the v12 engine?
BMW 760iL
V12 engine from 2 v6?
I've been wondering lately, can you actually combine 2 V6's and make a v12? To be more specific, I'm going to be using a v6 s550 mustang. The cyclone V6 has a displacement of 3.7L, let's say that you have another Cyclone V6 and you want to connect it to the current V6? How would this happen? I'm aware of the gas lines, alternator, air pump and such, can you attach the two from the crankshaft? What would it take to make a 7.4L V12 Mustang? It's a thought and possibly an idea.
Lifespan of a 2000 bmw v12 engine?
It depends on how it is treated, oil changes m,reg maintenance ect. And how it is driven ,city miles vs hwy miles, If it is taken care of it should go well over 200,000 mikes
What is the difference between a v8 and a v12 engine? Which one is better for having more acceleration?
The number means the number of cylinders. This has nothing to do with acceleration. If you take the displacement size of an engine, let's say 6 liters, then a V12 six liter means 500 cc per cylinder while a V8 six liter means 750 cc. That means, that a V8 needs larger cylinders with bigger bore and more stroke. In order to get filled properly, the V8 engine needs bigger, heavier valves. That means that a V8 engine may have difficulties to rev as high as a V12 engine of similar refinement. Each cylinder fires every two revolutions, so a V8 fires 4 times per revolution, a V12 fires 6 times per revolution. In addition to that six cylinders in a row can be balanced perfectly, better than 4 cylinders in a row. That is the reason that many luxury sedans rely on V12 engines - they run significantly smoother than V8 engines. On the other hand a V8 engine is simpler, lighter and has a better efficiency (less moving parts). If you want to supercharge it, the V8 is the better choice in order to get an engine which is not too heavy and too complicated. But one cannot say that a V12 equipped car accelerates better than a V8 equipped car.
What car do u prefer a BMW 745li V12 engine or a Subaru WRX STI?
7 series all da way especially V12. by the way the V12 is a 760li not 745li.
Why is a V8 engine faster than a V12?
Faster? Do you mean attain a high RPM quicker? Or do you mean move the car from a stop “faster?”Lets compare apples to apples- and use displacement of the said V8 compared to a V12 as exactly the same. And the number of valves per cylinder , CFM flow through the heads-exhaust and intake, compression ratio with both being naturally aspirated.The V12 has a ‘pulse’ of power every 60º of rotation- the V8 every 90º.With everything equal- each of the V12’s power pulses produce a little less power than the V8’s pulses but the V12 has 50% more power pulses- do to less volume of explosions in each cylinder- so sort of sounds like discounting friction losses the engines- they should have pretty close to the same output.And yes- in theory that’s true. HOWEVER- the V12 requires less counterbalancing weight on the crank due to smaller pistons and shorter stroke (lighter rods ). Plus a lighter flywheel since the pulses are closer together.So- with less weight on the rotating mass-the engine will rev quicker- and create power faster-not to mention the flat torque lineTherefore a V12 IS faster!!One of my V12s-
Will the new BMW 8 series have a V12 engine option? Would that come with the M package?
Unlikely, as the V12 cost more, is heavier and produce less power than the V8. Now, there is no reason why BMW cannot rise the power in the V12 TT to say 750hp, but the issue is still a car that is very front heavy, uses a lot of gas and is harder to maintain.I think BMW learned from MB and Ferrari that V12 is not always the right choice in GT cars (i.e. the GT4Lusso vs GT4LussoT and S65 vs S63).The ‘knowledge’ of how to tune a turbo charged V8 is much higher than a V12, and hence it’s faster/easier to bump the 4.4L V8 to 650–770hp if they want to vs compromise the V12’s smoothness over power and balance in the car.
