2.3 cam or 2.5 cam?

[yrureadingthis]

I don't know if those are correct for the lift numbers. I found them posted on another site. I have a 2.3 cam. just to lazy to pull it of the motor and measure it. lol

they can't be both quoting the same thing so you can't compare the lifts, one of them must be cam lift and the other valve lift atleast that would be my guess.

So, does anybody have some solid info on how these cams differ?

I never knew there were two 323i's.

there is something wrong with those lift numbers

1 is cam lift, the other is valve lift. Many people dont know the difference so its why you'll see people posting figures like that. The factory manuals only list cam lift, they never use valve.
