Please let me know of any BMW engine that left the factory with a 8900 rpm redline, that doesn't hit fuel cut until 9300 rpms. As that's what the f20c in an AP1 s2000 rev's to.

Who was the first company to put titanium con rods in a road going, mass produced car? Honda. Who was the first company to use carbon fiber to as cylinder wall sleeves, again in a road going mass producation car? Honda.


Comparing a BMW motor to those of Honda is a compliment to BMW, not the other way around.
