Sorry guys, Euro spec M20s also suffer from the same "elastic" throttle response, and yes we do have a higher CR
The AFM certainly dont help and the Maf conversion improves things a bit but its still noticalbly there, I found a larger bore Throttle body improved things a lot , certainlty a cost effective mod.

Hmmm
I always thought going WOT from idle just kicked your WOT sensor on before your AFM was fully open and that controls fuel so your ecu takes a crap on itself for a second until it adjusts and by then you're at 1,200 and it doesn't matter. I can hear a loud clank from my AFM slamming open because of this stupid Cone filter.

the euro model M20s do not have any different of a motor on the later model US cars. I know this cause I live here in germany, and have owned about 30 or so different E30s. I think the problem is, from what I have experienced is that the CAM lobes are getting worn. this has a huge effect on the response. I had a problem with this on my old 320i motor, and It broke a few rocker arms not to soon after when I reved it high. The lightened flywheel does help some, but not really when you are excellerating, just with the motor at no load. if its not the cam, the germans tend to say it is due to low compression.

Most all the Euro models Have higher Cr ratio's.
Plus the latter 325i have different exhuast manifolds, and Cat-less downpipes.
Getting better throttle response is the whole reason I'm trying to use pre 85 eupr 525e pistons for my 2.7 build as they have an 11:1 cr ratio. Meaning I'll get around 10:1 with an I head slapped on top.85 325e 2.7 ITB'd stroker
