Still doing research. I do not know a lot about diesels. 4 or 5 speed for sure. Suggestions and thoughts welcome.

clean and wet
Idles perfect. It has been a great engine. NO issues in 6-ish years. Rev-limiter tested. Water-pump started spraying. Time for the timing belt anyways. Decided to go diesel while I have another vert to drive.Attached Files -

I'd say the 524TD, just because I'd like to see what can be done with oneComment

Need more info to make the correct choice.
1) fuel mileage
2)Horsepower and torque
3) Transmission options or lack thereof.
Thank You.Lorin

do the om602 turbo, with the w201 2.6 5-speed (if you can find one) and an S2.93. i'm sure it'd be fun.
also, get the mechanical pump built up, an external wastegate, and a big exhaust, then crank the boost and watch your EGT gauge. torrrrrrque.Comment

The E30 came with the 524TD's engine in europe. Its been done many times. I think the 260 will bolt right up.
Next winter im seriously considering assembling a beater E30 eith the M21 turbo Diesel. 40 MPG Diesel goodness.1985 325e M50TU(Sold)

524td ftw!! There was one for sale localy a while back. You should do that for sure!! I'm pretty sure they did sell 324td's in Europe as well. You could upgrade the Turk to a holset and call it a day!

i think its just because its almost all metal and most M20s leak a bit so when they leak the oil gets burned on, also cosmolean that dealer ship used doesn't help the situation. if you just wash the motor with pressure washer and/or degreaser they clean up alrightOriginally posted by CrusherCurtis View Post88 325is Five SpeedLachssilberComment
