Replying to: rayainsw (Jan 10, 2007 6:16 am) After reading your post, I went to the BMW USA web site under Future Vehicles and read the overview and press release on the new 5 series. Does the press kit you mentioned have any additional information than the web site? In the overview, when describing the 550i sport package, they say " ... new 19” double spoke alloy wheels (non run-flat) ... " Does anyone know if this implies that versions other than the 550i SP will have RFTs? Thanks Bruce

Replying to: lexusguy (Jan 10, 2007 6:22 pm) Agreed, however, the old BMW engine was more than a little long in the tooth. Comparing an iron block Toyota mill or or the very high revving S2000 is rather apples to oranges. I've never torn one of the old 3.0 liter BMW engines down so I cannot speak from first hand knowledge, however, as I understand it, its been bored out to the point where keeping three hundred plus HP contained would be more than a little hard on head gaskets and such. Regardless, even if I was playing with one of the new mills I still wouldn't breath on it without a serious internal rework, including a lower mechanical compression ratio. Long story short, the only real way I'd ever attempt this would be to find a totalled 335i with the drive train still intact. Realistic? Probably not.  Best Regards, Shipo
