And valve cover. This is seriously fucking confusing the shit out of me. Look under the hood at the vacuume routing sticker. It will say e,es or i.

wilkommen to my world...lol...it also has all the wiring and exhaust parts as well (well...whats left of the exhaust anyway) and runs great (minus the oil pan drip...i have the gasket, just not the time)...

I vote eta with i motor swap.

maybe the person went to some official place and got it all taken care of and official.

just a wild stab in the dark.

Yay, and maybe goats live on Mars.

SAWEET!!! i want martian goats!! :crazy:

there is one casting that i found on the drivers side of the block...it has an 84 stamped into it...

But running the VIN produced M20 B25?! I mean, wouldn't it have to be manufactured that way? It says '84.. hmmm...

Maybe you got some special version from Europe? Why would someone go through the trouble of swapping in a B25 and new cluster? I'm still confused with the results that the VIN produced.

as am i fwappy, ill run out real quick and get a shot of the door tag too, maybe it will have some more insight...

I can see how this is going to end up.... Your car is worth millions...billions... It is the rarest E30 on earth..... It is the only E ever produced with an I motor....BMW will be contacting you in a few days to purchase this mistake.....It's like that dollar bill with the dole sticker on it....a rarity....don't let big business get their hands on this one of a kind collectors item!


Seriously, first guy that can explain this VIN is the only one on this board that isn't a noob.

im thinking about taking it to the BMW store when im in cincinnati and seeing if i can get a "professional" prognosis on it...all i know, is that this is the best thing i ever traded a computer for!

What there's no hookers in your town looking to get on the intranet?

First off i know this thread is a bit old, but rather than make a new one i figured id just ask the question here. So did anyone figure this out, cause i found another early bmw with the same engine code claiming the m20b25.


ps i did search but this is the only thread that was related to my search that came up, if i suck at search i apologize ;)
