    Just curious if anyone has seen this before.

    I have never seen something like this before. I thought it was just an m20, but then I saw the carb and intake mani. I'm cornfuzzled.


    Every day I wake up we drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN
    Every day I wake up to a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in.
    Lobsterbacks attack the town again
    Wrap all my things in aluminum
    Beams of darkness streak across the sky
    Pink rays from the ancient satellite
    Every time I look out my window same three dogs looking back at me.
    Every time I open my windows cranes fly in to terrorize me.

      So is it a custom mani then? I only understand the FI side of the m20.


      I'm thinking of testing her out too.

        I had one in an E21 i had a couple years ago!
        E21 320 was available in 2 forms,4 pot carb or 6 pot carb.
        Bit gutless from what i remember but think they originally used Pierburg carbs which are reputed to be shit.
        Thats all i know sorry.

              They had FI at that time also. US spec 320 had FI as did the 323i at that time. Some M20 for the stoneage had carbs. There is a triple sidedraft set up for M20 on ebay.de from time to time.

                Whats the big deal ?

                Its just an older E21 320/6 ans yes they had a carbed M20 as stock .

                Biggest difference is they use a conventional mechanical distributor .
                I actually have a complete E21 323i injected engine in storage ...it uses the same distributor set-up .

                    E30Driv3R, I will.


                    I guess it's not that big a deal. I just saw it and was interested. Within 30 mins I got more info than expected. I'm more taken aback by that. Thanks guys.

                      When i first got my car, i thought that ^^^^^^ setup would look cool on an M20. Anyway, i'd go and look at the car just for something to do.

                          My old 320/6, had I kept it I would have most likely gone fuel injection.
