80s was the shit.

Fun fact: BMW had a wastegate failure one year at monza witch lead to a "unlimited" boost level. car lastet just over the finish line in the qualifier. The power figures was estimatet to 1300-1500HP or something.

Fun fact 2: the engine block used by bmw was designed in the late 50s and first saw production in the early 60s

Fun fact 3: The motor was ordered by BMW to be a 1,4-1,3 liter or something but the guy who designed it was not sure about wether or not that was a smart thing (tiny) so he made it a 1,6 i think and with space for a bore up to 1,8L (he was a former race driver)
