    The head you're showing at 9:14 is actually not a head designed by BMW, it's a head designed by Schnitzer for the M10, called 20-4. It was the main competitor of the Apfelbeck 16 valve head. It was used in F2, in BMW 2002 touring cars and in various hillclimb cars and it was sold as a tuning kit for street cars. Its simpler parallel design proved to be better than the Apfelbeck head, which prompted Rosche to design a very similar parallel 16V head. The 20-4 got a turbo version too, used in the Schnitzer Rodenstock BMW 2002 turbo group 5 and later in multiple BMW 320 group 5, raced by Schnitzer in the DRM.
    A feature on it might be interesting.

    I bet that that valve arrangement has some extreme power potential if it was designed with modern CAE flow design. The angle, flow characteristics, valve size and port size have to be adjusted probabily to a very fine degree for piston volume to properly work.

      Crossflow head is easier to achieve good scavenging which can offset the "swirl" advantage of the radial design (not to mention better pressure angles / concentrations at the piston edges). I do love the concept, though, and think it's a great achievement to design and build the cam / rocker assembly that could withstand the rpm it was capable of.

      @@stephenkeen6044F1 4 valves today and BMW boxer have radial valves and cross flow. Scavenging actually works better on diametral engines because you have 4 times the area to flow through at valve overlap. Diametral valves don’t collide in the radial arrangement. They move away from the walls more and allow scavenging there, too.
      With crossflow ideally, valves would be of different size and lift and timing ( small valves for overlap ).

      ​@@mandrakejakeThere really aren't any benefits to this layout. The chamber has worse combustion and it's a mechanical nightmare. At the same time Keith Duckworth was developing his F2 engines that became the DFV. Narrow included angle 4v layouts have much better combustion, rev higher and make more power.

    Thank you for another excellent video. I suspect that, in addition to extra mass, the radial head design may have introduced significant friction losses. Complexity has to be kept in context however, given that : according to Harry Ricardo, the Rolls Royce Eagle was both the most complex aero engine of WW1 and the most reliable aero engine of WW1. Good to be a Patron.

  • @gregshamieh6339

    Illuminating, this.
    The version of the engine that was the endpoint of development -- when they trashed all the cool opposed ports and reverted to a conventional parallel valve head -- became the basis for BMW's K series motorcycle. Engineers literally scaled all the dimensions down 50% to turn the 2.0 L motorsport engine into a 1.0 L motorcycle engine. The head that shows up at ua-cam.com/video/SxxExDjFmX4/v-deo.html appears identical to the heads from my K1200. Sorry that the race thing didn't work out, but it did provide 20 years of great road bikes .

It's not wrong, but in the context you're applying, it requires you to use "require" (no pun intended). _Require_ means to need something or make it necessary in order to achieve a certain goal or outcome. It implies that there may be other options or alternatives, but this particular thing is needed to achieve the desired result. Thank you.
