      Those mods really wake up the M42. It will still lose a drag race to a Sienna, but you will still be smiling

Its really simple. If its likely had a head job then you timing chain and guides are likely new so no worries on those.

            You should buy that turbo. I hear the guy that is selling it is really cool too.



            As for keeping it NA I totally get it, it's exactly why I'm selling the snail. Another thing to add to the list if your car doesn't already have it, LSD. I went with a 4.44 smallcase, but it's a bit high strung for most people. The 4.10 ratio is a little more reasonable.

              What's your dash and head-unit situation look like?

                    It was very temping but its never just buying the turbo the money I would need to spend on engine management and fuel upgrades i'd be well above a 24v swap. I was looking into and I'm going to throw in the mustang injectors and get that chip mentioned above when I paint my spare intake manifold. hopefully that will make all the difference.

                    currently I have a 4.10 lsd swapped in pretty sure its a small case as well. car came with an open diff

                    Dash is blah original dash and its cracked I just hide it until I find a decent dash locally. Right now the big decision at hand for me is a 370mm Mtech 2 wheel or renown with white stitching I feel like this would complement better but I like obtaining more rare sought after parts so idk.


                    but here you go also had the parcel shelf matched with the same bmw headliner material.

                    along with spare tire cover with some flare lol.

                    yea I like how adult like it looks, but I do miss having it especially since I paid for it.

                    Thanks I'm glad I'm not the only one that enjoys it. I've had some of my lady friends question my sexuality lol

                      Not to bash on renown but they are just another ebay wheel with more options personally I’d the mtech wheel. Either a 370mm mt1 or 2

                        I feel you on that I've never wanted anything but a mtech but I'm getting tired of waiting for a wheel to show up decently priced. also I don't like having 90s airbag tech in front of my face the bags are like sandpaper!

                          Have you thought about italvolanti?

                          This is mine in my 318i. I love it

                              Thanks man they are a great wheel you wouldnt believe the brake clearance they provide at lease 4 inches of clearance from the spokes im sure a 6 pot would fit with ease.

                                Never! It is not stock per say and I only say that because it is the wheel found the DTM e30 m3’s from back in the day. You can usually find them on ebay regularly by just searching italvolanti. It it is padded steering wheel I love them they are my go to wheel for these cars other then your tuner wheels like alpina,acs, hartge and then of course the m tech wheels.
