I've heard good and I've heard bad about m62's. I'm looking to build I high torque high revving motor that is NA. I have an 83 533i. It's either that or an LS swap I can't decide but I'd prefer to keep it BMW for a motor if possible.

Looks dope but my question is for the money is it going to b worth it? I wanna keep it simple but powerful, basic mods like and intake set up (possibly ITB's if I can find them) a chip, and a nice full exhaust. I want something powerful but reliable. ( as does every other human with a little more the a fraction of a brain who drives a car)

swap
I'm doing the swap now. Got the motor yesterday. Have a 1983 BMW 533i with auto. I got a 97 740il with the 4.4 m62. Getting ready to lay everything out. Contemplating swapping the complete subframe. Or at least changing to a rack and pinion steering to avoid manifold issues.2006 745I
