m88?

[eyagel]

mmm cant wait, all i have to do is find one..

[euroshark]

the m88 is the same block as the m30 just better in every way!

Actually it's the same block as the early M30 Euro blocks which are different than other M30 blocks, and from what I've read in this nifty book sitting next to me, the blocks are identical. 93.355mm pistons (those do differ for the 4 valve head), 84mm stroke, same forged crank and same rods.

Thats the block that is sitting in my E30 right now!

what do you mean maintenance hos?I hear that the M30 single row timing chain virtually never needs to be changed throughout the lifetime of the engine.

huh? I believe they're single row, and they're maintenance hos.

The M88 has dual row timing chain? i thought that was only in the S38

[FredK]

Single row timing chain = :(

Or at least that's what UNCLE told us.

[eyagel]

is it just me or is that site in a different language.. haha but thanks for the help.. is the m88 really that much better than the m30..

[fastm30]

yes the m88 will work in a regular e30. the m88 is the same block as the m30 just better in every way! people have been swapping m30's into e30's for years. go to http://www.jaredsquires.com/ndp/335i/m30/index.html. all the information you will ever need!
