I have a G240 on my M50 and I love it, if you get a chance to drive a 318is pay attention to how light the throws are and how nice and notchy it is

I drive one every day ;). My dad's 325i has the stock shifter so it's an unfair comparison, but I have no bad things to say about my transmission.

Anyone running an m50tu with a g240? I've heard both good and bad things about the setup. A g240 should be able to take the power, they have shorter gearing/closer ratios than a 260, and I think they're smaller/lighter.

1. Engine
Non-VANOS M50B25 from '92 525i.
Replaced all seals and gaskets prior to install, SKF Speedi-Sleeve on crankshaft rear main seal.
Kamotors intake w/ E34 intake boot.

How do you like the kamotors intake? I'm thinking of replacing my unprotected K&N filter with one. I assume when you say E34 intake boot you are using an E34 525i intake boot? I saw a picture of your set up in another thread and it looks really clean so I may replicate it.
