    The intake manifold cover looks different, the securing bolt holes are in a different place and a seal is different.

    yup! It is the BMW 7 series one off that BMW produced with a V-16. They are displaying it at the TechnoClassica 2019 in Essen, Germany. At first glance it does not look "that" different, then when you count the intake runners, you realize what it is.

    Just a little Thursday fun!!

    BMW did that before they acquired Rolls Royce. It was done in the late 80's/early 90's.
