The "Unreliable" BMW V8 Might Be the Better Offroad Engine

We dive into the history of BMW's most storied engine, the famous M57 and see it off against Bavaria's eight cylinder powerhouse, the N62. I compare the pro's and con's of both engines, and we frame this in the context of offroading out in the Aussie bush. You might be surprised to see, that both engines might be closer in their reliability and capability than we all initially thought.
