If I am interpreting the cutaway model right, is the exhaust dumping into the engine V? And the intake is down where the exhaust ports usually are? That is very clever packaging if so.

yeah, it looks like a small intercooler for each bank between the compressor output and the intake manifold. But I cannot imagine the heat trapped under that hood.

Not to mention it looks like it uses direct injection. Sweet rig.

BMW knows what they're doing but I'm wondering about all that heat in in the vee of the motor. You've got exhaust (very hot), spinning turbos (also hot), and not a lot of space there. Just wondering what that's going to do in the long run. It's going to be hot in there, that's for sure!

Mario 64 was the greatest game ever created!

Ever notice that companies like Honda and BMW are the only mainstream ones who do cool engine displays like that.
I've seen cool displays from Nissan, Mazda, GM and Ford as well.
