Starter replacment on a e30m30

What's the deal with the M70 over a B35 starter?

A little bit more powerful. And most of all, sounds like a turbine spooling up. Bad ass.

Another good option is to weld the nuts on to the front end of the starter. Then all you need is a 3' extension to go above the trans from underneath the car. Hit those bolts with an impact and boom, they come right out. Plus when you're ready to re-install you don't have to line up the bolts with the nuts, they're attached :)
