Thats style of gearbox and prop is good to about 40mph then that big angle from the pinion back on top of the bullet cavitates and burns the prop at the root of the blades. same design that BMW used when they showed the world they new nothing about marine engines and drives
The ignition system in the last years were also problem to troubleshoot
Shame the engine never made it though.
I believe BMW knows little about any vehicle!!
