Oh I agree, a tidy motor. Not the first time I've seen someone badge the M156 as a V12.

With the miles on it I’m assuming it’s either escaped or been cured of the stretch bolt issue ... decent motor

This is becoming frequently more normal unfortunately.

Audi have done the worst though. I think the new S6:
A. Is a diesel.
B. Has fake quad tips

:shock: Not sure how you can get any worse.
