    The weight of the m30 is distributed , so it's not all at the front of the car or anything like that.

    With some work to the suspension, e30 can handle just fine with m30... obviously if you are one of those who does a swap (sohc or dohc) and keeps the stock worn out suspension then thats your own problem.

      Jean, what is your suspension set up? What are your spring rates?

      Mine has vogtland springs (225 front / 360 rear) with bilstein shocks. Feels good, I guess the firmer spring rates in the front work well with the extra weight.
