A version of the company's 6 Series two-door, the M6 is one of the most compelling BMWs of all time, thanks to a 500-horsepower, V-10 engine that allows zero-to-60 acceleration in 4.5 seconds.
Well, BMW recently announced a version of the M6 that is even more special: the 2007 Limited Edition Individual M6 convertible, priced at $139,000.
Two round-trip, business-class tickets on Lufthansa are part of the package--as are, BMW promises, "gourmet meals and luxurious accommodations for four nights." The trip is scheduled for spring 2007, and upon its completion, BMW will immediately ship your Limited Edition M6 back to the U.S. for delivery.

  BMW 801 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 139 was originally intended to be used in similar roles as the other German radials, namely bombers and transport aircraft, but mid-way through the program Kurt Tank suggested it for use in the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 fighter project.
His solution for the 139 was to use an engine-driven fan behind an oversized prop-spinner, which blew air through the engine, with some being "sucked" through S-shaped ducts over a radiator for oil cooling.
Differences between the 139 and the new design, named the 801 after BMW was given a new block of engine numbers to use, were fairly minor and limited primarily to details except for 14-cylinders instead of 18.

 Focke-Wulf Fw 190 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Designed around the radial air-cooled 18-cylinder BMW 139 engine, the Fw 190 was quite a different aircraft from the Me 109.
Design work began around two different engines, the BMW 801 and the liquid-cooled DB 601, although common thinking supported the 'stream-lined' vee-engine design, Ernst Udet supported the radial engine.
The BMW 139 finally was canceled, and the Fw 190 employed the 14 cylinder BMW 801 instead.

The large track had many advantages, however the narrow gear of the rival Me 109 imposed no stresses on the wing and meant that the wing could be removed whilst the aircraft stood on its wheels.
From the fifth protoype onwards, the BMW 139 was replaced with the BMW 801 engine which offered better power and reliability.
This engine was of 41.8 litre capacity and was slightly heavier than the 139 (over a ton), but at least the dimensions were essentially the same so minimal changes had to be made to the 190's airframe.

 The Focke-Wulf FW-190
Tank chose the BMW radial engine because he believed it offered high reliability, greater horsepower in the long run, and was in principle available to support volume production of a new type of aircraft.
The RLM was interested in Tank's concept, and in the summer of 1938 awarded Focke-Wulf an initial contract for three prototypes, followed by authorization of a fourth in the spring of 1939.
Arguments and finger-pointing between Focke-Wulf and BMW became as hot as the engines, and the RLM even threatened to cancel the program.

The engine was developed from experience gained when BMW had been manufacturing similar Pratt_and_Whitney engines under license in the 1930s.
Radial engines were uncommon in successful European fighter aircraft until the BMW 801 was used in the Focke-Wulf_Fw_190.
An additional feature on the BMW engine in the Fw 190 was the ''Kommandogeraet'', a hydraulic-electric unit that automatically adjusted engine fuel flow, mixture and timing with propellor pitch in response to throttle demand and also engaged the supercharger.

 Development history   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
The increase in the BMW 801D-2 engine power (to 1730 kW) was due to a higher compression ratio and higher pressure two-speed compressor.
The main difference was an BMW 801 D-2 engine adapted to use with a MW 50 system for short period engine power increase by injection of a water-methanol (methyl alcohol CH3OH) mixture in the proportion of 1:1.
But the BMW factory had not started production of these engines in time and, as a replacement, the 1470 kW (2000 hp) BMW 801 S engine was used with a more efficient, 14 blade fan.
