I am not going to get into an argument about this but I have the factory BMW
2-volume book on EVERY motor BMW ever produced. I looked it up. It's
1500cc and it's 640hp in race trim over 1200 hp (actually around 1500hp) in
qualifying trim. Here are a couple pages to peruse if you don't believe me.
Notice it says IRON BLOCK in the articles. The motors were production
based.

And the clincher:

Look under history. 1500hp. My books state that was the qualifying power.
640hp was the racing power. It was a production block. It was iron.
Go sell bullshit elsewhere.

Wrong. 1.4 liters/1400cc. Well over 1500hp in qualifying trim, an easy
1200 in race trim. And ain't NO friken way they used production blocks -
all alloy. I have literally DOZENS of VHS tapes of the turbo era races.
