Hi,
Matt62- I think BMW pulled off one of the
biggest Motorsport Illusions of all time with
the V8 M3 GTR ALMS 2000/1 Cars.
The point being that although the 'GTR'
shares the S62 Block, the Mader Mecachrom
in the GTR with its Flat Plane Crank special cams
and so on, let alone internals, Dry Sump etc, is at another
level to where S62/S65 M engines can only
dream and aspire to be.
The Red Bull / Renault V8 owes much to a BMW Block !!!
The Cross Plane Crank of the S62 is not user freindly
to high revs, and although it makes good torque the
S62 base engine at 245 Kg's v the 155 Kgs of the Mader V8
is only part of the story.
Still, CSL, bit more Cam on a road Going S54 is Ok,
but as you say, too agrressive and all your doing is
pushing the 'on' Cam Power band further up the
rev counter.
Not exactly what you want in a road car.
If you can find some cams within budget, then fine,
if not, then for a daily driven road car, I would
leave it as is, and just have the ECU remapped
accordingly.
Regards,
The Gorilla.
