I think cars are more fun when the limit is lower. I had more fun in my car when it was just an m20b25 with 205 azenis on 14" weaves with bilstein eibachs and big sways than I do now with the turbocharged m20 huge tires (245's) and a better suspension. Now i have to drive twice as fast to be at the limit.

With custom ground cams, dinan chip, and exaust. Way faster then stock.

Why did you rebuild a 4 cylinder?

Why ask such a stupid question?

[jflip2002]

who cares if he rebuilt a 4 cylinder? I had my M10 rebuilt on my 84 318. A lot of us dont care too much about these high performance engines, and swaps, and so on. The M42 is a decent motor, at what, around 140 hp? Its not going to beat many things on the road, but its good with gas, and can go when needed (My M44 did at least).

Nice engine, and like already said, clean that damn engine bay.

Boom! lol

Because not everyone has an M50. And because the M42 is an awesome little motor, and because you work with what you have.

It powers his car, and he likes it. That's all that matters.

Because some people planned on doing an m50 swap and a few days later their tools get stolen and they have to drop their plans because they cant afford it and they justify not being able to by e-supporting someone who rebuilty a 4 cylinder on an online forum.

looks nice. did all the mad tyte drifting ruin your old motor?

No all the mad drifting was done with the re-built motor. Was not able to do that before re-build/mods. I also have a 93 turbo 5.0 mustang notch back that is where my drifting skills come from.:)

This is my first bmw I am new to them my 90 325is m50 build is under way.

I was going to say the same thing. The engine looks good, but it makes the bay as a whole look bad.

Yes I know this is a pic as soon as it was in there is oil/coolent in the engine bay and 3 months worth of dust.
