They actually produced 1400bhp, but keep in mind, these were not street engines. They were throw away engines. They'd do one or two races, then they'd replace the motor.
I do agree with how BMW has lost it's bearing with creating over weight cars. Bigger isn't always better and it's the one reason why I've stuck with the E36. They're much lighter than the current cars of the industry, and they've got the potential to create some amazing power.
BMW has done a few good things, the advancement in engine technology, driver train, and handling have all been great. I only wish they made the cars lighter and smaller, but without much or very little sacrifice to being able to put larger tire sizes. This is the biggest limitation I've got on the E36s atm, without doing some serious flaring of wheel arches.
