Apologies if this has been done before...

Technical / cost considerations aside what engines would you love to see in other cars?

S85 B50 from the E6x M5 in my M3 CS would be cloud9

I would also have loved to have had the B18C engine from the DC2 Integra Type R in my mk2 Honda CRX - that would have been incredible.

I can see M5's & M6's becoming very desirable to thieves for the running gear to stick in their E46.

Unless you're being deliberately obtuse, I think you know what I mean.

If he really meant the W12 from the bentley/phaeton, it's been done already, by VW themselves.

They called it the GTI W12-650.

How about a warmed over Mondeo 2.2tdci engine in a swish upmarket executive car like, say, the Jag XF?

That would be rip-roaringly awesome.

An S43B32 from an M3 CSL in my 120d would do very nicely if you're offering?
