            If you own a modded E30 you've been a poor man one time or another.

                        I don't hate vanos, I just don't see the point. It's more to maintain, it's more to tune, the power band is not consistent, and that bubble on the head looks retarded.

                        Ok i do hate vanos, I would much rather have a 3.0 m50nv which I don't understand why anyone would call that a poor mans s50 swap. S50's have vanos don't they?

                        S50 is really expensive, why not build a 3.0 liter m52 if it makes the same power as an s50 you would have to be retarded spend money on an s50.

                            What's wrong with the m54? My mom had a b25 for like 80k miles and it was a pretty decent motor. Ran good, good tq, pretty reliable.

                                                    I mean she owned in from like 36k miles to 138k, and it didn't have many issues by the time it was killed in an accident. She'd still have it I bet and it would have had like 200k by now

                                                    My M3 has 194k on it and it runs awesome

                                                        Maybe she just didn't know it had a blown head gasket.
