3 Series Article in European Car magazine...

[bmwm3n528]

Just got finished reading a article in the most recent European Car magazine about the 3 Series, e21-e46. Pretty informative article, enjoyed it.

"BMW tried reincarnating the venerable 2002, still golden in the hearts of enthusiasts, with a 318is model in 1990 and 1991, using the new dohc 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine dubbed the M42."

Anybody seen this yet?

All kidding aside, the M42 is a marvelous engine....but M20 torque owns me :twisted:

e30 = legendary for its reliability, dependability, and the dynamic change of adding a few suspension pieces.

or something along those lines.

I've got a 25 dollar gift card to borders, time to go pick up a few magazines.

My M42 is straight up owning me right now. ;) The motor is bulletproof... except for one problem...

my favorite was in the secrets of the 3 series. "the e30 is the most durable and reliable of all 3 series cars" and "the e30 chasis will swallow any contemporary bmw engine except the v12's"

...except the v12's

Thats a lie :D

Well, it will fit, but it won't exactly "Swallow" you kinda have to force-feed it.
