              Go with the M42.. sure, it don't have the same bottom end grunt as an M20, but better mileage, and it is a new motor..

                I have a M20B23. Blows the doors off an M10. And for only $200.

                  ^Or just do that! I am too lazy to Google, what's the difference between the 23 and the 25 (bore or stroke?)

                    2.3i (143bhp), 2.5i (170bhp), 2.7e (125bhp)

                    More power than an ETA, not as much as a 2.5l

                      If it doesn't sell, it's going to replace the M10 in my E21. It's originally a E21 323i engine pulled from a 323i that got a 2.5l plopped in to replace it. I started out wanting to turn my 320i into a 323i clone, but am rethinking that.
