Ooh that E32 with the S38 and a manual ❤. That would be so awesome.

[@90MinutenLang020Damsko]

The e23 with the m88 is cooool, the v16 is special, but maaaan that e32 s38b38 3.9 ooooh man WOW!❤👏👍💪🏻

[@tobias_k01]

I really love these insights into lesser known cars and secret prototypes. There are so many rumors and secrets floating around, and getting to see what was behind all of them is super interesting.

[@waiwong1304]

Oh that 730i with the manual and 3.9L, wow. Have fond memories of the E23 and E32. Love this channel!

[@gendaminoru3195]

wow yeah, never heard of getting the M30 block bored out that far before. Guess it's not much more than the M30B38, but the car is too heavy for that high revving engine. The reason I declined the E34 M5's B34, B36 and B38 - not much added torque.

[@adriaanserrao2016]

As a south African i am still very proud of the special BMW's that came from our country

I love that they finally showed off the Goldfish. The V16 is crazy haha

Your best video yet thanks guys. Paul Rosche was an engineering genius, powered Brabham and Piquet all the way to the title. 4:31

4:18 that door sound is awesome.

Love the 7 series content! My E32 has been converted to a manual and has over 422K miles. Will soon finish up my mild refurbishing of the mechanicals and ready to get her back out on the road.

[@Housecat333]

Which engine? I have a 750iL im getting running, it has ~170k miles and id love to manual swap it one day

[@madhanaekanayake2187]

Thanks for showing us the legendary BMW E32. This was way ahead of its time in technology, comfort, safety and reliability. Next, they should do a video of the BMW 750IL from 1987. That would be cool! They should also maybe show a video of the 767 Goldfisch prototype running! Finally, I think BMW should make more classic parts available for the legendary E32 and E38. They are already doing a great job with classic parts. Keep up the good work, guys!

[@M3Compact323]

Wieder ein klasse Video! 😍😍😍 Ich mag diese Prototypen, den 7er mit dem M5 Motor kannte ich noch nicht 😮😮😮 Bitte mehr davon ❤😇🏁🚗

that 16 cylinder must sound crazy!!!

I absolutely love these videos - Long live Paul Rosche, an absolute legend

[@btbd2785]

Yes he was! I wish there were more people like him who were as innovative and always wanted a new prototype built as often as he could! I wish more companies would build cool exciting vehicles

[@BMWarrior1]

@@btbd2785 couldnt agree more - he has inspired myself and many others to push the boundaries when it comes to BMWs.

[@PowerslideSWE]

Unless it has been requested before there is supposed to be an E34 touring with the S70 in it, we want that! :D

[@houseofno]

Don't forget about the E34 convertible prototype. Definitely worth a look.

[@ellomirza]

Omg an E32 with a 3.9L straight six M engine! What a lucky human who drove that.

Marc, so when will you be releasing your next video like these about prototypes and special care? I am very excited to find out what other FANTASTIC vehicles that Paul Rosche and others have produced!!!

It would be lovely if you could do a video on the 8 series from the 90s. I absolutely love it. Thank you very much.

[@houseofno]

Paul Rosche's nickname was called "Nocken Paul" which translated means "Camshaft Paul." Paul Rosche passed away in 2016. Paul was famous for developing BMW's most iconic M brand engines, including the M88 in the M1, the S14 in the E30 M3 and while not technically an M car engine, also engineered the Turbo M10 four cylinder found in the original 2002 Turbo.

[@Hvitserk67]

The story of Paul Rosche is so much cooler. Rosche also designed the M12/13 engine which was a racing variant of the more normal M10 engine which was used in the E10 and E21 models, among others. The M12/13 engine was used by the F1 team Brabham in their BT52, BT53, BT54, BT55 and BT56 models. The team owner was Bernie Ecclestone (former chief executive of the Formula One Group, which manages Formula One motor racing and controls the commercial rights to the sport) and the chief engineer was none other than Gordon Murray. The M12/13 straight-four of only 1499 cm3 produced at best up to 1500 HP and 1250 Nm in the qualifying runs, but was detuned to 850-900 HP in the actual races. Paul Rosche also designed the legendary S70/2 V12 engine in the McLaren F1, which was also designed by Gordon Murray.

[@vitaliyavt6397]

❤

[@wjekat]

Sorry to be the wiseguy.🤣 Nockenwelle = camshaft Nocke = cam So the translated nickname should be „Cam Paul“, perhaps “Paul the Cam“ would be a bit more colloquial.

[@ronniewilson6597]

Great video, more prototypes please, are there any e24 prototypes. 👍🏻😀

[@juciyjcurtis7938]

I am glad South African BMW is here, we have more rare BMWs like the e30 333i and 325is with e30 M3 suspension and 2.7Alpina motor, and the first unofficial M bmw the 530MLE

[@caio2306]

Nice video. But I would like to hear more details about the cars. Video could be 15 or 20 mins

[@gendaminoru3195]

Those throwing Star wheels at 2:39 also came on my 850CSi as OEM. What would we call the V-16? M70B67? I'm sure the "Goldfish" didn't go into production because it was nose heavy as hell and we still got the same power out of the 2 valve OBDI V-12 S70B56 in the 850CSi. Hopefully they do an episode on my E31's. I had the first M73 powered car and a one of a kind 850CSi, both restored to showroom condition with end of production OEM updates.

Der E32 ist auf jeden Fall Königsklasse, aber die vorderen Felgen sind falschrum montiert, dass sollte man beheben. Sonst einfach genial mit dem S38!

[@chrissybubiB]

Sympathisch ihr beiden 🙏 Gerne mehr in der Form, Musik im Hintergrund darf aber nach meinem Geschmack gern weggelassen werden 😌

[@SSFproductions1]

Amazing! First 2 would be my pick. Goldfish is very cool but not practical.

[@houseofno]

Agreed. If you think feeding twelve cylinders at the pump is expensive, try feeding sixteen of them. Thankfully the modern S55 and the S65 can beat those numbers with just six or eight cylinders instead of sixteen. Not exactly Prius gas mileage but certainly more gas friendly than the Goldfish.

[@SSFproductions1]

@@houseofno i think the V16 is about the same as the V12 gas wise. Unless you race it. Ive had a 750i e32. Try filling it up (100L) at corona times. It would have been +€200 to fill up 🙈🙈

[@houseofno]

@@SSFproductions1 I doubt it. Those extra four cylinders don't eat for free anymore than the other twelve do. My car is the iL the long body. That's an extra four inches on the rear doors and another four hundred pounds on the curb weight.

I want to hear what the V16 sounds like it!
