whats with that distributor coming off the oil pump drive shaft?

Well the early m20's that came on e21 323's had a distributor and ran L-jet fuel injection, that engine obviously isn't running L-Jet though. Where the fuck is that picture from?
I mean that's an IX drivetrain... WTF?

[OOMPH!]

[Conrad311]

hi rez?

[AndrewBird]

That isn't e21 suspension.

[Conrad311]

its definitely an e30 ix setup im just wondering if they used an e21 m20 as a mock up for this demonstration or something? maybe it was pre-production?

i cant find any bigger versions of it unfortunately :/

L jet injection was used early e30 euro 323i

L jet injection was used early e30 euro 323i

In 1983 I think.

Is that m3 roll bar links? Or is that standard iX stuff?

Was there an '83 IX?

Good eye. I saw the missing reservoir and just assumed.

The iX didn't come out until '88, and by then the m20b25 had been around for about 2 years. But that seems like the most logical explanation

Looks like M3 to me. I think iX had standard sway bar end links.

Nope, started in '88

No, but there was a 1986.
