I thought so too. It turns out the engine is too wide and too heavy, and the
fact it is watercooled adds even more complexity. So far, I haven't seen a
single BD-5 built with a 912.

It is interesting that we often look at a design approvingly, only to
talk about the lack of a suitable powerplant.

I find this perverse, as it acts like the powerplant isn't part of the
design.
