Hello all,
I have an 87 325e. The car runs great. Odometer stopped working at 218k. But again, still runs good. However, I have the itch for more power. At first I thought I would do a stroker. But I do drive this car almost every day. I have another vehicle to rely on when this one is down. But I hear that the strokers aren't ideal if the vehicle is driven often. Then I started thinking about an S52. Then, yesterday, I was offered an M50 that is bolted to an auto transmission for 300 bucks. Pretty sure the ECU is gone from the engine. But the rest is there. I have heard the M50 is not worth the work/money. I really wanted to keep a naturally aspirated setup that's why I was leaning toward the S52. Would it be worth it just to grab the M50 and modify it to make more power? Any and all opinions are welcome. Thank you.
