The BMW and Ferrari both use 90 degree firing V8s. That said, I still like the flat 6 better.

A little off topic, I know, but there were also some issues and thoughts about if it was fair that BMW was allowed to use larger restrictor plates (more air flow) on their intakes because they complained and petitioned about how it wasn't fair that they had a higher drag coefficient at the beginning of the season. 1 point difference? It must be tough to write the rules and regulations for these races. But whatever, the past is the past.
