tell me how much classier it is when you see it is mostly all the same stuff inside :)

Yeah... but this one has a badge! On the engine!

I did a Pontiac 400 last winter, I'm interested to see how this compares to a 40 year old American V8

In 3 words: much more complex. I'm guessing.

There was one BMW engine in the whole shop at college, and it was not one of those. We mostly had GM, Chrysler, Honda, Toyota engines from 20 years ago.

That's a Benz M113 V8 with a BMW badge on it. Edit: M112 V6, thought the pic was hiding the frontmost ports.

They thought of that. Outside of the bolt's torque spec.

Ford 427 SOHC would be a closer comparison as far as parts are concerned.

Begs to differ... ;)

Totaly. Its like comparing a digital quartz watch to a one of those swiss watches with 1000 springs, gears, levers and weights.

Nor do I expect you'll need it to be. Serving as an educational tool is about the only time one of these would be out of the car.

Fun! You will be one of very few people to know what the insides of these look like! Aside from the inside of the valve covers anyway.

I'm amused by the BMW badge on the coil pack that's sitting next to the air pump instead of on top of the valve cover where it's supposed to be.

Are you putting it back together too?

I had thought the exact same thing.

As far as Mercedes goes this is pretty archaic.
