Paul Rosche died

Post

Paul Rosche died on the 15th of November, aged 82.

He was the designer of many legendary BMW-race engines, especially the M12 F1 turbo.
But also the engine for the M1, M3, the Le Mans V12, the F1 V10 for Williams and many more.

He was known as "Nocken-Paule", which means "Cam-Paule", because he had a faible for calculating cams.

RIP

I'll always remember the M12 F1 as the engine that kept increasing in power for years after it had stopped being developed :D
