I was perusing the article below in Hemmings, thanks to the excellent link from John E. at Classic and Vintage BMW, when this suddenly jumped off the page at me:
The S14--for the non-BMW aficionado--is the legendary twin-cam four-cylinder developed by Paul Rosche, engineering managing director at BMW. The 2.3-liter engine, derived from the M88 inline six-cylinder block, head and valvetrain of the titanic M1, went from drawing board to production in just 14 days, hence the S14 moniker.
The answer to a question that I have often wondered about, but never actually asked! I love little trivia like this! So I thought that I would share it here, on the off-chance that I am not the only guy who never knew this.
:)
Thanks, John!

This is where I actually found it tonight.
