Slightly off topic but after the inlet comment, BM do some really nice 'standard' gear on the M's - Check the manifold :

BMW M engines could be fitted in cars costing 150-200k and nobody would complain.

though he did try and failed as the sump and steering rack gave him all srt of problems,
yet the e30 shell dropped straight it

Bit of both me thinks, csi bottom & m3 top x 2.
Have a look on here near the bottom :
http://e31.net/navmodelle_e.html
The engine picy is
Also got a picture of it (the macca engine) out of the car but cant find it right now, that does look sexy (and like 2 m units).
Hope it doesnt suffer from the same vanos issues

That's atleast what's being said on norwegian beemerforums and some of the peeps there have tried a lot of different engines in e30 and e36..
Like the big sixes in e30 (the M5 engines) and v8s and so on. There is even a e30 with the v12 in it.. and it is roadlegal and has been seen on Gatebil

But i must say, the e39 V8 in an e30 is pretty cool, althou the car could and should have looked a little better.. but that's to each and owns taste i guess..
Imagine that v8 in a e46 with a supercharger...
now wait a minute, that's a good idea.. i'll go out and make one right now..
where are those lotterytickets again?`...

I can't help him out....
That level of info is not public, so even if I found it out (which I could, I dont know it but people here would) I cant tell him!
How sad is that!
