Tror du må finne ut når denne motoren ble brukt først, bmw har vel hatt endel forskjellige varianter av F1 motor oppigjennom årene de var aktive i F1.

Men kan se ut som om det er en BMW M12/13 1500 cc 4-cylinder turbo motor.

Bygd på M10 motor fra 1961.

'In the years 1986 and 1987, the version M12/13/1 was tilted sideways by 72° for use in the extremely low Brabham BT55. The design was not successful, probably due to cooling issues in the tight compartment. The 1986 engine was said to produce about 1,300 hp (969 kW) in qualifying.'

'As BMW announced to pull out officially at the end of 1986, the Arrows team brokered a deal with support from its primary sponsor, USF&G, to continue the use of the upright BMW engines under the name of its subsidiary Megatron, Inc., founded by long-time F1 aficionado John J. Schmidt, who coined the phrase "Horse racing may have been the sport of kings, but auto racing is the sport of corporations". The engines were serviced by Heini Mader from Switzerland, the former mechanic of Jo Siffert.

Rebadged as Megatron, the BMW engines were used by the Arrows team for the 1987 and 1988 seasons, as well as Ligier for 1987 only.

The Megatron programme ended as a result of a change of Formula 1 engine rules which banned turbocharged motors at the end of 1988.'
