Im still with you pagani, sounds like a V12 to me. Its not revving that high, you can hear that on the over-run, but when its on song you can hear a very high pitched engine note because its a 12 and a straight through exhaust! The DTM v6's were the highest revving V6's in motorsport so far (i beleive) and you could still hear it was a v6, much more throaty, this one wails more. Its a 12, i bet yah £5!!

I take that bet. Im going with a straight 6 bimmer engine. Very similar to the one in that hillclimb video someone mentioned (just watched it again for research purposes!)

Also, BM don't make a small v12. That's not a 5 litre engine! Will have a similar exhaust setup to a v12 won't it? Just half of it!

Hmmmmm, now youve got me doubting my own judgement damn you!! Something sounds V12'ey to me, maybee its a de-stroked V12, but it would seem a lot simpler to just wack a straight 6 in it! Still for a 3.6 straight six it doesnt half fooking rev quick! And if it is that motor damn i wanna know the exhaust configuration to make it sound like that!!!!

After a little more aural 'research' i think i am going to conceed defeat, dammit it sounds sooo good for a straight 6!!! 8)

Thats the vid that made me change my mind ops:

Awsome sound.
As for aus, although the lour of paying for a beer for you does rank highly in my list of life aspirations, the 32 degree sunny days, messing around on boats, girlfriend, cheap beer, nice, cheap food etc that australia currently holds just about pips it im afraid... Sorry mate
