Trivia Question: Was the s14 the only motor used in only one chassie by bmw?

[Aptyp]

518 or 520 diesels didn't come out til late 90's, right? Like e39s.

[TDE30]

Right, but I was showing YOU sir, that not ALL models are listed on RealOEM.

Sure, but if such E34 518tds existed, I am sure it would have been listed in said list, having different engine parts than the 524td/525td and the 518i.

Who knows, maybe it does exist though.

I believe there were only the 524td and 525td/tds produced as E34's.

THEY DID, Damn africans got all the odd models, that would be awesome to have. I wouldn't be all surprised if they would have 24v m20s driving around, those bastards.

s14 also came in 323iS and later 325iS in South Africa.

I thought the South African 325is came with 2.7 Alpina engines?!?!?

Yea aluminium.

in South Africa they didn't get the M3 so they specced up a 325i with some fruit and called it a 325iS

Bonnet, door skins and front wings are imported aluminium alloy. Car weighs 1147 kg with PAS, air con, electric windows, LSD, leather.

The suspension is Full M3 gear with alpina sways.

Engine is an early spec Alpina C2 2.7 motor - td crank, with alpina rods and pistons, with a stock 325i head, and a cam of unknown spec, its racier than a stock 325i cam, but less than a genuine alpina cam. Motor was produced alongside the alpina motors also. Modified motronic management.

500 produced in 03/1990, known as a 325iS.

in 03/1991 and 05/1991 there were two more batches produced, known as the 325iS Evo. Both identical batches.

But, informally, the 1990 cars are known as Evo 1's and the 1991 cars are known as Evo 2's.

The Evo 2 spec differs in that they returned all all steel body parts, had an adj front splitter under the m-tec 2 front, the engine was the full alpina motor, with alpina head, using larger valves, cam and standalone alpina management. They also got an M30 throttle body and AFM.

Power for the Evo 1 was 194hp and 265Nm, Evo was 204hp and 270Nm.

George, the first early variant of the M20 was also used in the E21 323i, it was the only 6 cylinder E21.

what about the 320/6?

2.0 M20

**edit** Aptyp beat me to it in post #37

I guess the US s50 was only used in the 95 m3's? The z3 m coupes and roadsters had the s52 for one or two years and then the s54, correct?

I have one with a bit of gray area - the X5 4.6iS had a 4.6L V8 designed by Alpina, assembled in Germany. It was used in other Alpina models but the 4.6iS was the only BMW that got the motor.

The M62 B46 was also used in the Alpina B10 (E39).

S38B38 only came in E34's

S38B36 came in the E34 and the E24 correct?

[TDE30]

S38B36 came in the E34 and the E24 correct?

Correct about the S38 B38 bit.

The E34 M5 came with either the B36 or B38, and the E24 M6 came with the S38 B35. The E24 M6 and the E28 M5 shared two motors: the aforementioned S38 B35 and the M88/3.

so E34 got S38B36 and S38B35 only while the E28 and E24 got the B35.

M88 was in the early euro M535/635 as well as the M1 so it's not so unique

The E34 M5 came with the S38 B36 (from 4/88 until 4/92) and with the S38 B38 (from 7/91 until 7/95). For some reason there was a period of time when both motors were available for non-US bound cars.

The E24 M6 and the E28 M5 got either the M88/3 or the S38 B35 depending on where the car was being shipped to. The M88/3 was a non-catalytic converter car and the S38 B35 was a catalytic converter car.

I am aware that the M88/3 was used in the E24 M6, E26 M1, and the E28 M5. I listed it to tell you that two different motors were available for the E24 M6 and the E28 M5.

the new Mini Cooper...

Actually up until 2007, the Mini Cooper's engine wasn't even a BMW engine, it was an engine designed by Chrysler and Rover. So I don't think the engine counts.

After 2007, the engine was made by Peugeot, so still, engine doesn't count.
