The rider was told. "Do NOT open throttle when starting off!" 220kw and all that...:gob:

That's not a 220 Kw motor, it doesn't have Vanos.
He could've put in a newer more powerful lighter motor into the same size hole, the 4.8is motor from the X5 would do the trick, and they sound awesome without pipes on

Drive a BMW V8 and you'll be wondering if it's a 316 or a 318 - very disapointing.

That depends which V8 you're driving Motu, the 3 litres are a waste of time. The later ones, especially the 4.4s with vanos are pretty bloody good. The V8 M5s are the best naturally aspirated 5 litre V8 that I've ever driven, possibly the best full stop.
