Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 6m 27d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 18/01/12 10:05 PM Share Posted 18/01/12 10:05 PM highly unlikely bmw would want our cast iron i6 when they have access to one of the best i6 engines ever builtThis.. 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
