The BMW S14 is a straight-4 DOHC piston engine which was used in the E30 M3. It is based on the M10 block and the M88 head with two cylinders removed. The successor to the S14 is the S50 six cylinder engine (since it was used in the following M3).
The E30 M3 was initially released with the 147 S14B23. Versions equipped with a catalytic convertor produced 143 kW (194 PS) and 230 Nm.
Applications: 1986-1990 E30 M3
The BMW M3 CSL (Coupé Sport Leichtbau) was a limited edition version of the M3, with only 1,400 cars being produced for its 2004 model year run. The CSL was only available in two colours – Silver Grey Metallic and Black Sapphire Metallic.
Sometimes I don’t understand why the automotive manufacturers bring no concepts «as it is» to life. Such as this one — BMW MTB Hardtail Concept bike. This photograph was taken by me in 2007 in Frankfurt and since then I haven’t seen anything as handsome as this in accessory programm of BMW. It was very amazing work with designed frame of aluminium and carbon fiberglass. But I will keep on hoping that new 4-series coupe will be presented to us without any substantial changes this September.

Each Erdman & Rossi body that was hand-crafted for the 1938 Horch 853A was slightly different from others in its series. After all, the entire production volume of this elegant and technologically advanced roadster amounted to eight vehicles. Each vehicle was custom-commissioned, and World War II put an end to any commissions that would have arrived for subsequent units as Horch’s factory converted to military production for the Axis war machine.

Prodrive is a British motorsport and automotive engineering group based in Banbury, Oxfordshire, England.
In 1990, Prodrive began a long standing and highly successful relationship with Subaru, forming the Subaru World Rally Team. Prodrive was tasked with running Subaru’s rallying campaigns, helping them to three Drivers’ and three Manufacturers’ World Rally Championships (WRC). Starting out with the Subaru Legacy, they achieved minor success in the WRC with regular drivers Colin McRae and Ari Vatanen. The first Subaru victory in the WRC was by McRae in a Legacy during the 1993 Rally New Zealand. The smaller and more agile Impreza became the platform which Prodrive would be most successful within rally. Scotland’s Colin McRae won the 1995 World Rally Championship for drivers, followed later by England’s Richard Burns in 2001 and Norwegian Petter Solberg in 2003. All three championship Subarus were prepared and run by Prodrive.
