haha, I do prefer the m20 in some aspects of design, which would probably directly relate to the m30... I hate the freakin intake manifold and the spagetti factory that is hidden beneath!
oh come on its not that bad. The octopus is easy to work around. just watch your hands it likes to nibble
You cant tell me its not a pain to change the rear freakin knock sensor! lol. I just mean its much worse than working on the m20, and the angle isnt helping anyone!
I hope you 24 valve'er guys have fun when it come time for you all to do a rebuild. That's going to suck for some of you.
I can vouch that the rebuild isn't 'cheap' but its not too bad. Hopefully I can have 100k+ miles out of mine when its done. Even if the e30 chassis doesn't last that whole time I'll just have to find another BMW chassis to stuff the motor in :).
OP - it's your car, why not decide for yourself on what it will get? ;) Both are an upgrade from an m10/m20/m42. Both have pros and cons, and it really comes down to preference/what is available to you and how much you are willing to spend/your goals.
