    I am not emtirely sure what your claim is in the second paragraph, but Vanos and NV bottom ends are NOT the same. Different rods and pistons, 10.5:1 compression on Vanos motors vs. 10:1 NV. I would not think a Vanos retrofit would be worth it vs. a full m50tu swap, especially considering you would have to swap harnesses, then MAFs and god knows what else that isn't compatible (IIRC NVs have no knock sensors).

    But you need to start adding cliffs notes dude. All of your posts are just huge streams of consciousness. :p
    Sorry, I was referring to naked head and block castings as the internals of these silly things dont need to stay stock either :P

    not 100% the same, like 95%.

    I would be the kind of person to tear apart a M50nv, bolt on knock sensors and vanos electronigs to it, pop a 2.8 crank and forged low comp pistons + add vanos +e36m usa cams/carriers to it.

    my prior e36m got a M50nv head in place of its original s52 head. I downgraded to thicker valves as was fraid of dropping one.

      Vanos would be a good NV mod, add it.

        my m50nv doing well
        m52b28 crank
        m50b25 piston(vanos)
        m50b25 rod (nv)

        big difference than b25 assembly, i kicked more than m52b28, so the m50nv not worth.

        i plan to using two intake camshaft but i haired from alot guy (advance camshaft), How this can be done??
