Samblob, do you have any sources for the claim that it replaced the M78? I thought it replaced the M328 as the higher-output option (by this time, the M78 had become the "base model engine".1292simon (talk) 12:09, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The M328 was a specialized engine that BMW used only in the 328 and the 327/28. The M78 was the normal engine, and also the basis for the M337. The M337 was the normal engine for the BMW 501. BMW never made another high-performance OHV six, so the M328 never had a successor as such, at least not within BMW. BMW's next high-performance automobile engine was the 3.2 Super V8 engine as used in the 503, 507, 3200S, and 3200CS. Sincerely, SamBlob (talk) 20:57, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
