Calling all v12s! I know there's at least 3 of you on here. Patrician engines represent!
I don't think anyone here is dumb enough to own one .
Is the Ferrari F12 a good car?
>>14064580
>FCA
it's shit
>>14064583
FCA?
>>14064497
I had an E38 750il up until last week. V12 was silky smooth, however it was a nightmare to work on.
>>14064593
That chick is really not attractive. She's like a 5, maybe a 6.
>>14064601
>selling my dream car
>>14064626
pls no bully
>>14064601
that is one of the sexiest cars ever made, my dad had the v8, it was fucking awesome
>>14064497
What's it like getting 10mpg?
I imagine it's similar to paying $6 for a roll of paper towels that you can get across the street at Walmart for $3.
>>14064580
I don't like the 599 and F12 much because they are so large, I'm 6'0 and feel like I'm a child that stole my parents car when I was 13 in them, especially when they have the racing seats, I can barely see over the dash. Engine-wise they are absolute beasts, essentially the same engine as the Enzo/LaFerrari.
>>14064641
It was my dream car for a while too. I loved it but, it was unreliable and parts were beyond expensive. It also didn't help that I was getting an average of 14 mpg. It would cost me over $300 a month in gas alone, and when premuim was closer to $4 a gallon I would spend close to $500 a month at the pump. With the negative parts of owning the car stated above I can without a doubt say it was the most fun vehicle I have owned. The 7 pulled like a fucking freight train over 70mph. Fastest I ever went was when I was racing a base C6 on the highway. He was about at car length ahead of me the whole way up to 150ish then we had to slow down.
I'll be adding one of these to my collection soon. Whole car for $400, sounds like the engine even runs. Plan is to pick up a pair of 4v AJ6 heads for our and make them fit, which is more effort than it's worth, and then drop it into an S130 shell, which is also more effort than it's worth. I'm notorious for having more skill than sense.
>>14064668
>10 mpg
That's better than my big block V8 does anon... 8.4L stronk.
>>14064669
Interesting, thanks. My boss is picking one up this week and I've never even seen one. He found one used at a good deal, figures can drive it a while and not cost him much while he waits for his 488 that's soon to arrive.
>>14064697
I got an S130 sitting here anon...
>>14064652
What color was his interior? I had the highline package which had tan seats with green leather piping and green leather everything else. It also had BMW individual Orinoco Metallic paint.
>>14064712
V12 swap when?
>>14064720
I'm game. Was going to cram a BBM into it but the header fabrication was going to be insane. Still has an L28E in it atm.
>>14064730
It is in pieces as well but pic related.
>>14064601
There's an 850i 6mt near me and I want to buy it badly. Too bad it's ridiculously overpriced.
>>14064755
It's only going to go up in value as long as it has under 75k miles. Probably worth biting the bullet and getting it. It's worth the experience.
>>14064755
but it won't have under 75k miles if I start driving it. He's asking 27k, and it's not stock either.
>>14064823
Holy shit nevermind then. If I new it was that much I wouldn't have made the suggestion. My bad
>>14064852
yeah, 10 bucks he's a boomer.
i might just give him a call and give it a test drive just to see how it is.
>>14064863
I would. Worst thing he can say is no.
bumping with smoothest engine configuration
>>14064497
Check it, v12 reporting in. It's a heep I bought for 1500, so it's pretty bad. Still, it carried me to and from my summer job without complaint or issue. Better than a BMW could manage, I figure. It's curiously easy to work on, with the biggest hurdle being the computers. God, there's at least 8 of the things. At least a code reader is all of three wires, a switch, and a light. Just have to be willing to stand there pushing a button for however long to sort out most engine management issues.
It also helps that I have a 1995 e320 as a stablemate, since it basically carries one half of that v12 under the hood. Anything I learn about one car applies to the other.
>>14064668
>not liking smoothness
4cyls are like wiping your arse with tracing paper
>>14065554
Oh shit it's an m120. That's lovely my friend, I'm glad to see you trying to tame that finicky beast. Headers and a straight pipe and you'll have yourself a 4 door zonda. What's the redline on it?
Bump for goat
>>14068008
>300 km/h in a Brabus are barely more exciting than 100 in a Beetle.
And they thought that's going to work as an ad?
>>14064593
Ferrari Chrysler Audi. It's a meme on here newfriend. Basically these brands are considered shit on /o/
What went wrong with that 7series BMW that had a V12 and 2 turbo chargers. It got like barely 400hp. WTF?
>>14068101
horsepower isn't everything dicksoak
it's called having tons of low end torque, a smooth engine, and a smooth powerband.
>>14068061
i think thats a car review not an ad
>>14068101
the m760i will be a v12 with >600hp
>>14064692
Only $4/g.
You have no right to complain. Come back when it's over $9.3/g.
>>14068101
>>14068160
>muh TORKS
>>14068085
Doesn't FCA stand for "Fiat Chrysler Automobiles"?
>>14068261
no, it's Ferrari Chrysler Audi. are you retarded?
>>14068290
I-I guess I am...
>>14064497
W12, am I welcome?
>>14068447
No. Go away, poorfag.
>>14068462
Yes all Bentleys are owned by poorfags.
>>14068468
Yes. Poorfag.
>>14064497
I have a v12
Everything around it is junk but the engine is strong
I would like to swap it into a truck or something. Shit would be pretty cool.
>>14068101
Low pressure turbocharging. Lets them use stock internals, compensates for altitude, improves throttle response. Not all turbo builds are about max power.
Lag, torque, power, and complexity can all be set up however the builder wants. The objectives the BMW guys set didn't call for any more power.

This guy did his build to make his jeep work at high altitudes.
bump for unreliable and thirsty
>>14068261
>>14068290
>no, it's Ferrari Chrysler Audi. are you retarded?
wot?
FCA is Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Audi is owned by Volkswagen.
>>14064580
I can't afford it, it's shit
Ferarri FF
neither fwd nor front engine
explain this Ferrari Chrysler Audi group
>>14064497
hey what's up, CL600 checking in. SL600 and S600 bros are lucking somewhere about. Have a rare pic back when my wheels were mismatched.
slow jam bump
>>14068008
This is superior.
>>14074496
yeah good luck finding one ever.
>>14074514
I've seen three in the last 5 years on the generic popular german car-craigslist site equivalent alone. Never mind dedicated sites.
Pretty cheap, too. For a good reason.
The only good Mercedes AMG.
>>14074535
You posted the one fucked up version of the car that exists. God fucking dammit, why?
>>14074523
What is this site? I'm American and I don't see s72's ever.
>>14074544
Huayra > Zonda
>>14074589
In terms of what? They're totally different cars.
Personal preference, then. Which, obviously, is OK.
>>14074710
In terms of going fast around willow springs
>>14074581
xhamster.com
>>14074523
you mean mobile.de ? because if you do, you must be mistaken. even on there, they're rare, and when they do appear they're VERY expensive. like, as expensive as a brand new S600
unless you mean regular W140 S600s, not S72s. those are cheap when they're high mileage and haven't been maintained, for a good reason like you said.
>>14064601
are you the anon who had the 335i aswell?
may i join the festivities?
>>14074755
Yeah, mobile and autoscout. Of course they're rare, still 3 in 5 years. Might've been the only 3 in ages, obviously. Cheap, well, in terms of what you get. The three were from 30k€ (lack of documents, low milage) to 70k€. I've seen one somewhere else for...I think it was 15 or 25k€, but at those prices....you know.
>>14075257
no fuck off v12s only
VW get out
>>14075273
this is the cheapest hing i could find in the states. I don't think it even has the AMG engine, just bodykit pieces, but it's pre-merger.
>>14064601
I want to drop an M70 into an E34, with a manual transmission. Finding one that bolts on to the V12 is hard, but since they modify E36 gearboxes to fit everything between Merc engines and 1JZs, surely you could make an adapter plate or something.
Then I'd go for Megasquirt 3, ITBs, more aggressive cams, and headers. Maybe after my current and next MB project I'll go for a BMW.
>>14064755
850 is by far the best cheap v12 option.
actually looks good and wont rape you as much as the mercs.
they are mostly automatic as far as i see though.
prices should be under 20k.
>>14076112
>and wont rape you as much as the mercs.
You're confusing that with the 840 and V8 Mercs.
>>14074496
Absolutely Yakuza.
>>14076112
but ur wrong when the fucker is asking for 28k for his boomer bmw
>>14075310
>little does he know they come with v12s
>>14075257
Stealth wealth for the win!
>>14077306
Pretty sure they came with W12s, not V12s.
>>14077320
Shit, your right. My bad
>>14077412
V W same thing
