[V8] BMW seven what?

[Roger M. Woodbury]

Well, at least after 112,000 miles the bolts that hold the oil pump in
position will probably not fall off.  The BMW V8's had a spate when oil pump
bolts would back out, fall into the sump, and without much ado about
anything, raise absolute hell....if the oil pump itself didn't just fall
into the sump first.

They probably fixed that problem after replacing a bunch of V8 engines.

But why, why, oh, why would you want a BMW V8?  You already have the best V8
sedan in Christendom.  So if you hanker for a BMW, buy the V-12.  At least
you will have something more interesting to play with than a measly eight
Munich cylinders!
