It was a very limited engine that is now as rare as hens teeth, mine pushed 263bhp at the ABS rolling road day this year. The engine cost the earth as an optional extra. You do rarely find them on german ebay. The last engine I saw was up for 8000 EUR, but it was low milage, that was just the engine. |
