I have these videos posted from a different thread but I thought I'd put them here, too. The S65 won the International Engine of the Year award in its class 5 years in a row:
Below is the full review: 2012 International Engine of the Year Review (3 litre-4 litre class): "Having won its category class since 2008, there was a general feeling this year that the evergreen M3 powerplant was set to bow out, with newer and leaner pretenders to the crown eyeing top spot in the 3-litre to 4-litre race. But pretenders to the crown are exactly what McLaren’s 3.8-litre V8 engine, Porsche’s 3.8-litre Boxer DI, Audi’s 4-lire TFSI heart, and Nissan’s 3.8-litre bi-turbo unit proved to be, as the BMW M V8 rolled back the years to claim yet another famous victory. ‘This engine isn’t just a winner in this category, it can also compete with much larger engines,’ said Nathan Tazelaar, a new IEOTYA jury member from the Netherlands. ‘Its extreme level of sportiness combined with usability and fuel-efficiency is truly unique. This engine will go into the history books as the last of a kind, though, because unfortunately for this V8, the future seems to be all about the turbo.’ Tipping the scales at 202 kg, the naturally aspirated M3 V8 is seen by many as tone of the last old-school M engine developments, with BMW’s performance arm increasingly moving towards forced induction designs for most of its upcoming products, such as the new M5 and M6 models. The M3 V8 is lighter, and more and 30 mm shorter than the legendary straight-six it replaced (and which also won its displacement award six times in a row, between 2001 and 2006). Further technical highlights include an alternator that disconnects form the engine during acceleration to maximize power. The M heart also features a separate throttle butterfly for each cylinder, with two stepper motors operating them on each row of cylinders. This gives the BMW M3 unit a particularly sensitive response at low speeds, together with an immediate reaction whenever the driver presses the accelerator, unleashing some 414 bhp at a screaming 8,250 rpm.”
