Where would I get a BMW engine from?
A mate of mine is right into flying & has currently got a Rotax engine in his little flying machine - He's looking for a BMW 1150 lump to replace it with...
Anyone know where he'd be able to pick up a BMW engine

There's a guy on www.UKGSER.com called Steptoe. I think you can get his details but may need to register. He's a small time BMW specialist. Don't know him personally. Alternatively Martin at Bath Rd BMW Bristol(Bristol Mottorad) is a bit of a geezer and always up for buying and selling things.

I don't think it matters as he just wants to throw it off a cliff.

BMW boxers were originally designed as a aircraft engine, yes, a lot of german bi-panes in WW1 had BMW boxers in them , what do you thing the BMW roundel logo comes from, it's a view of a spinning propeller the 1150 might be a heavier engine, but also more torque and the ability to turn a bigger prop that will more than make up for any difference in weight |

Plus it can be connected to a specialised gear box prior to being fitted to the prop (which is a good thing apparently )
