Beta 6.2l M156 AMG engine for the Bastion 1.0

For the people willing to experience the feeling of driving an E63 W211

  1. _Tanco
    A small afternoon project I made after getting some recent interest toward the E63 W211. I wanted to feel how it was driving this car in BeamNG so I added an engine as close as I could of the M156 6.2L AMG engine (used in several 63 AMG models from 2006 to 2011) on the car that is technically the closest to a W211, the Bruckell Bastion.

    It took me about two hours and it features :
    - Scratch made V8 engine which features :
    Very low weight (the engine weighs only 200kg compared to the 400kg of the 6.5L vanilla V8)
    Accurate and realistic torque curve (IRL torque curve added for reference)

    - One config based on the vanilla Sport GT config but extensively modified mainly to make it look like an IRL E63 W211 and edit some technical specs to make it even more realistic.

    I thought that some people would enjoy playing with my engine, feel free to tell me if you find any bug or have any suggestions

    Have fun ! :D

    One suggestion, the M156 has a dual plane intake manifold. You could duplicate the intake node and beam connection and rename those two intake nodes. More importantly a dual plane intake model too would be real nice.

      as I said it was a very quick project I made, but indeed that could be a nice little touch that wouldn't require too much work I could do in a future update.

      Thanks, I purposely removed the speedlimiter on the config as there's a lot of W211 videos where the car manage to go above 300kmh, it would have been a shame to be limited at 250kmh with this beast

    it is really nice, engine seems quite realistic, right power and torque figures at the right rpms, you can feel the difference in weight, and i can understand why you'd choose the bastion over the 800 series (800 series would be closer to an E90 or a W204) however, regardless it'd deem more suitable as it would be more balanced as the chassis of the W211 feels like the 800 series (i own an E500) so it'd make sense for it, and it wouldnt be hard to implement the 7G tronic either, also if you could spice up the engine note to make it sound like a C63, that would be heavenly. Aside from that, you did a very good job on the M156.

      Thanks for the recommandations, for the gearbox it would be quite easy but it would basically be the same gearbox as the bastion's one but with one less gear, so I'll see if it's really relevant. About putting the engine in the 800/K series I do think it would be a cool addition, I'll probably do it as an update. For the sound I deliberately made it relatively calm as on videos I watched the E63 was quite tame. However I admit I tuned it a bit quickly and im sure I could make something a bit more funny, but im still a bit limited as I need to use the vanilla engine samples (custom ones sound terrible).
