The German magazine Motorrad has an article about the endurance racer in their latest BMW special.

Interesting stuff: they claim more then 135 HP, above 9000 RPM. There are also pictures of the engine parts after the race to show the wear and tear: it still looks fresh. However BMW didn't allow pictures to be taken from the cilinder heads, cams and valve drive train (?).

Anyone notice the Metzeler sponsor decals and the Pirelli Diablo slick tires?
