Not sure if srs

Finally! A M20 vs M42 thread! I always wondered which was better, but no one has ever debated this before.

[JinormusJ]

because ignorant bubbas think they know better than BMW AG.

they could spend less time and money and buy e36 m3 and get way more car.

the e30 platform is a shitty, unsophisticated, seriously out-dated deathtrap.

hth

You need to turn in your r3v Man-Card

I dont get why so popular for guys to swap out their m42's. 325's are way more common than 318's...Ruining the 318 species.

Ah, isn't that because of the natural balance of a straight-6er though?

I can't attest to the buzziness, as I have to fix my drony ass exhaust to actually feel engine nvh :/

[irish44j]

buzzy meaning more vibration/NVH. And the M42 does have plenty of that. It makes my old M10 feel like a Lexus engine, lol. I personally like how the M42 kind of sounds like a Subaru. Could be because my DD is a WRX though....

[lolcantturn]

What does "buzzy" in reference to M42/S14's mean? I never felt that my M42 has anything "buzzy" about it

[peytonracer4]

the m42 is buzzy and doesn't feel like a bmw. yes its definitely fun ESPECIALLY above 4k rpm but it feels like a buzzy 4 banger. because it is.
m20 is much smoother and has a better power delivery. it also sounds better and feels classier.
neither is really a "performance" engine. an s50 swapped into an e30 is about as close as you're going to get to a fast performance e30.

I like girls

You're all bitches until you daily a stock M10.

Suck. My. Knob.

You're my bitch until you rallycross a stock M10 :)

ok, don't. It's pretty slow.

of course, I did beat 3 6vyl e30s at EVERY event last season. And an M42 car. :)
