While on the subject of BMW, I was talking to a mature gentleman today and he informed me that BMW have been attempting for some time now to purchase the Barra 4.0 litre block from Ford, but they are refusing to sell it to BMW.Is there anyone out there that can confirm or deny these claims, Cheers

highly unlikely bmw would want our cast iron i6 when they have access to one of the best i6 engines ever built

This.. The BMW I6 was producing 200kw at the fly wheel since about 1994.. I don't think any Ford I6 can make that claim yet.. Not sure what the FG is running without a turbo though.. Plus the Barra's gotta be way too heavy for BMW to consider..

Thanks for the responses guys. Gives me something to move forward with.

Don't have any pics of the Bimmers handy, but I will get some and post them.

Cheers,

Luke
