Only a short video from the summer (sorry about the portrait filming) of my Sunseeker S20 powered by a BMW M57 from an E46 330d. I have some other videos but am having trouble with the sound. I have now put about 20 hours on the boat and it runs brilliantly, pulls a couple of toys no problem and uses barely any diesel in doing so. There is also a rear bench over the engine now, simply left it off for the first couple of runs to keep an eye on stuff.

The engine has a custom steel adaptor plate to mate it to a Volvo penta leg, heat exchanger and raw water pump from a Yanmar 6BY (An of the shelf marine m57) the mainfold is the standard cast iron from the car with no extra cooling other than the waste heat exchanger water exiting through the exhaust. I have also fitted a water cooled intercooler. The wiring loom was done by rallyraid in the UK an m57 specialist.

Any other questions please ask!

    The Yanmar 3 litre 6 cylinder is actually a marinised version of the M57

    I have a question, is this the most awesome fucking thing ever !?!?

    A Volvo Penta counter-rotating outdrive would be a good setup. The counter-rotating props setup grips very well which will allow the torque to propell the vessel at optimum. A single prop would slip too much. Silverhawk and Albermarle use these outdrives with optional V8 Mercruiser which is a GM 5.0 or 5.7 platform, or a Yanmar diesel.
