uhh its well known. i've beat the redline in my m42 so many times i can't even put a number on it and its still going strong.
try that with an m20 and report back with findings, you will either snap your timing belt or break your rocker arms. ask me how i know.. :)sigpic

But then again I do maintenance on my cars at the right time so my timing belt doesn't just snap.
+not to many problems with the PRO3 group ether and they are under full racing conditions. I think it is your driving style or you just expect an M20 to take your shit without adjusting the valves or changing the belt. Can't really blame the engine for that...

But back to the original question, im in the same boat as the op and looking for something with a lot of torque due to old bad habits... (former muscle car guy) im trying to learn how to go around corners and work on German cars. Also college student, but with a decent amount of tools and some experience on older cars, just not BMWs. I restored both a 1975 Porsche 914-4 and a 1963 MG b in High school... well actually never finished the MG that was a pain of a car
