anywho...the 535i M30 engine is an antique...SOHC 8V with primitive "flapper door" fuel metering...
jank that out and drop in the 3.2L M3 engine out of an e36....  |
The m60 lump has too many valves and cylinders, and not as nice power delivery!
I wouldnt fit an s50 in an e34-better just to buy an m5..
aero84- you may be onto something- these old cars just keep tooling along, and I cna get 30+ UK mpg out it if I try.. but the real fun is in the grunt from 2000rpm- makes it "lively" in the twisties
