My wife's Inline 6. Can you guess what it is?

Max Power = 170Kw at 5900rpm

She baby's it, but it can do 242 Km/Hr

Av. Fuel consumpt'n = 9.4l/100Km

Variable valve timing is regarded as 'stepless'

4 valves/cyl

Max torque of 300Nm at 3500rpm

0-100Km/Hr in 7.9sec

Engine constructed of light-weight aluminium

RWD

Front & rear susp'n, calipers and rear axle track control arms made of aluminium

2979cc engine capacity

Yep, it's an E39 2003 model 530i

Not an engineer thank good for that, I don't have the necessary attention to detail; (if this were a plain we would all be dead); yeah it all could be found on Wiki; however it doesn't change the love for the inline 6.

Yeah ok if you take the fact that there are 4 engine strokes there's only really only about 32° of overlapping power, however it was given as a figure to compare it to a I4 (180° of power)... its a bad idea to quote out of context, that is how facts are miss represented and figures skewed.

Dose any one know of forums devoted to the I6, I mean there are plenty devoted to V8's and shit... but I haven't herd of any for the I6.

The M3 had to have the best I6 I've heard IMHO. I don't why, by it sounds great. I'm spewin that the put v8's in the M3s now. They should make an M1 and put the old M3 engine in it.

On the flip, I just heard a new M3 scream past the other day, I'm not so spurious anymore. It was fkn good.

Skyline sounds so much more advanced over any road going 4 cyl. (Maybe not the rally cars though...)

yeah BMW are still on par, my e46 2.5l is so smooth with torque and the rb26 is one of the best engines areound....not to mention the 2jz.

any other good straight 6's?......anyone?

DOHC Inline 6 from Ford Australia, built in Geelong, Victoria. 195Kw on 91 RON, 200+ on 98 from factory N/A :P

Gotta hand it to ford with this engine; forget the NA....the turbo 4.0litre is incredible (dosent sound to bad either)

also what about the rb30e; dont know much about it but it paved the way for the hybrid 25/26.....nothing says kool when you have a 40k engine with a bottom end from pick-a-part campbellfield uleh

just to clear things up, the engineer comment i made was sarcastic.

just for reference, i wouldnt say theres 60 degrees of overlap, thers 60 degrees between each cylender firing. i have been told that there is about 80 degrees of crankshaft rotation before the downward pressure runs out, so i'd say theres only baout 20 degrees of overlap

no i'm not an engineer either :P

I still prefer the sound of a Tuscan Speed 6.

I find the M3 sounds really anaemic at low RPM and low loads. That Tuscan sounds tough whether its being blipped while stationary, or driven hard.

1JZ love over here, even though the things sound like vacuums with stock exhausts. That engine can take an absolute beating before it gives out.

Large displacement bent 8's over all of them though. Nothing draws a crowd like straight pipes on a V8; it's the people's engine.

270Kw from the I6T in the XR6T, 315Kw I think from the FG F6 I6T.

20B rotary sounds similar to an inline six due to firing pattern. 4 rotor sounds like a screaming little V8!

I think it's Mad Mike the Kiwi drifter who's quad rotor i heard on you tube!!! F1 all the way!!!

Awesome.

And my vote's for the RB25!!! Cause that's all i could afford..... :thumbsup:

Well technically the engine in your car has 1.998 litres so you fall outside the range unfortunately.

You must also love that piece of shit 2 litre 6 cylinder engine in the Eunos 30X.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
