Hello, I'm new to the forums and I was browsing around and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for so I thought I'd post a thread and get it figured out.
I recently purchased a 1985 BMW 318i which has the stock M10 engine in it.
After looking into it I'm getting a lot of mixed input between people saying the M10 engine is a good engine as it was the base for F1 in the 80's. I found a M30B35 engine on Kijiji for a reasonable price so the question I'm asking is would I be better off to keep the M10 I'm running and just rebuild and turbo? or would I have more power and speed from the M30B35 + turbo.
I understand the M10 is a 4cyl and much lighter than the 6cyl M30 and I've seen 4cyl engines pumping out 400hp..
