The M10 was definitive... in the sixties.

The reason Jean is laughing at your statement is that you have it backwards, the M10 came long before the formula 1 motor.

Hang tight bubba. Though you may be correct in what Jean is laughing at..... that ain't my statement. Reading is your friend! ;) It's called a little more info for those who don't know!

Why the hate on MS? I've used them on previous cars with great success.

The M10 is an excellent design based off a Formula 1 block.

[i]I have a 85 318I, It's a great motor

First question, is valve tick usual? It's been ticking, I am 99% sure it's valves, I was told if I adjust them they may be a tad quieter but not silent. They all do that, it's called valve-lash

Second, when should the timing chain be swapped, and is there anyway to tell when it's getting old, or the tensioner? When it gets so loud you hear it, and it ain't valve lash

Tip: Get a Callaway turbo set-up.

It's a great engine 4 more horse power definitely put a blower, or turbo on it. The M10 is an excellent design based off a Formula 1 block.

Callaway? Ok, so he can be stuck in 1986.

Based on F1 block? eehhh.... lets get the fact straight.

The great "1500hp" f1 engines use 2002 blocks.

OP, get a megasquirt, a bb header or goodntight and a ebay t3/t4 if you want to blow some stuff up. Any real turbo setup takes serious dough, and you will probably end up grenading it soon if you dont sink enough money into it.

Whoops. I actually asked myself if it was 360 (or 359) or 460. :p My mistake.

[Good & Tight]

Guys it only made 359rwhp not 470 but actually over 400hp at the flywheel.
I still make manifolds for $420 shipped, made from schedule 40 pipe and will work with A/C.
The cheapy boostbrothers manifold will not work with A/C.

[Dillinger]

Both Boost and ITB.

[Erick]

Having driven 250Whp E30s, I cannot imagine 470.

In an M10 too :p
