    M52 vs M54 and Gearbox

    Not really a heated battle, but anyway. It seems all of the information I find is quite dry.

    So, I have access to either a M52TUB25 or M54B25, price is roughly the same, M54 being slightly more expensive. My '90 316i has the stock motor in. I'm not fussed on which one to get but I'd rather have some solid opinions/experiences to base on whether to go with one on the other. I'd basically like to know what I should be aware of.

    Apart from this, I'd love to find a nice gearbox to couple with either engines, I don't want a sequential box, even though the price for an E46 SMG box is quite appealing. I'd mostly like a 6 speed, so I was thinking E36 M3 Evo box?

    Thanks in advance for your time :D

    Add M52B28, M52TUB28 to that...same price as the others...tough call.

      M52B28 is going to be less complicated with same/similar performance.
      For all things 24v, check out Markert Motorworks!
