its about time the 24v subforum gets its own moderator
As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man. -

S50B30US
The S50B30US was a 3.0 L version, which powered the US-spec E36 M3. Power was 240 hp (179 kW). Unlike the RoW S50, this engine used a regular M50 intake in lieu of the individual throttle body set up and hydraulic valve lifters in lieu of solid ones. The cylinder head and the VANOS system are also different on the US M50 versus the RoW model; again having more in common with the regular M50 than the Euro S50.
Applications:
1995 E36 M3
S50B30
The S50B30 was a special sports-oriented 3.0 L version, which powered the RoW spec E36 M3. Power is 286 hp (210 kW). The S50B30 has a bore of 86 mm and a stroke of 85.8 mm, with a total displacement of 2990 cc. The engine has a maximum permissible speed of 7280 rpm +/-80, and a permissible constant speed of 7000 rpm. It used an ITB intake system with an oversized MAF and a tubular exhaust manifold. The cylinder head was unique and the VANOS system was more advanced than the one used on normal M50s.
Applications:
1992-1995 E36 M3
