Definition of engine masterpiece



Best New Technology Award, Part 3: BMW's 3.0 Litre engine magnesium/aluminium composite engine block

"Improving engine technology helps keep BMW engines at the forefront. For example, in BMW's 330i, the engine produces 30 more horsepower, is 20 kilograms lighter and uses 12% less fuel. For drivers, that lighter weight translates into faster acceleration, shorter stopping distances, better cornering and improved fuel economy. Now that is performance."

Re: Definition of engine masterpiece

No need pointing that out, 'cause any person that knows at least a little about cars should know that. And i'm sure our fellow member Luw knows that.
