    Haven't posted on here for awhile for I have been busy for the past few months working on 2 other e30's engine rebuild and an M42. My bronzit had to take a back seat from the M50 upgrade.

    So I go ahead and open the Bronzit's 173 DME to install the ebay performance chip I bought. The housing looks to be untampered but much to my surprise, it had a BMP Performance Chip. Got all excited and swapped the DME from my AWII and went for a test drive. Now my autotragic shifts at 5500rpm and has reached to almost 6500rpm (I can't post how fast I was going for safety reasons.) The ebay chip made better results though than the BMP so I settled for the ebay chip. Lucky Dan gets the new 173 BMP chipped DME for his hardwork. Woohoo! It is now 1:44am and we are both happy with our joy ride. Now time for bed and dream about it some more. LOL.

    Bernzpeed's M50 Tear down

    Engine is from a 93 525i Vanos. It still has the VIN on it.
    I know that it's only 90 hp more than the M20 but it's 90 more hp than the M20.
    Took photos so I remember where everything goes.

    Nothing really exciting going on but I bought an M50 engine last Dec. and I am just trying to complete my shopping list.

    I was busy overhauling an M20 for awhile and now I'm about to do an M42. (I hate it) But anyhow, it's been cold and wet outside so I decided to do something indoors.
    This is what I ended up with...



    To finally complete my keyless entry that I got a year ago.
