Just announced earlier today... 2008 International Engine of the Year awards announced... And the grand winner is not surprisingly an engine from BMW, just like it has been for the last three years going back to 2005. The Bavarian automaker's 5.0L V10 won the award that year and in 2006, and BMW's luscious 3.0L twin-turbo inline six-cylinder engine won it in 2007 and has repeated its performance by winning the International Engine of the Year Award again for 2008. We get it, BMW makes really good engines.  TM |

Replying to: tagman (May 07, 2008 9:18 am) Congrats to BMW. The 35i engine is indeed a brilliant piece of engineering, more so than the 5.0L V10 IMO, which isn't great on torque compared to the AMG 6.2L V8, and also has oil guzzling problems if I remember correctly. I am very interested to see how Audi's answer to the BMW engine turns out. |

Hi all, Here I enclose the link to the web site of a small but appealing RR and other classic-car museum. http://www.torreloizaga.com/ You may use your Spanish to translate the short picture legends. Yet the pictures are auto explanatory. The museum is in Concejuelo Castle, which is located in Torre de Loizaga, which is a village a couple of dozen miles away from my home. If you wish to see more the village and landscape, you may go to 'Google maps' web site and write 'torre de loizaga, vizcaya' in the searcher. When the map pops up, you should press the 'A' blob on the left side: 'Torre de Loizaga (Concejuelo) desde el monte UBIETA-ZIPAR'. I hope you will enjoy the visit! Regards, Jose
