hey guys
i'm new to engine conversions however i've always been keen to get more horsepower from my bmw and now's the time.
My question to you all is whether i should upgrade my current 4cyl M43 engine to a 325i 6cyl M50 or a 328i 6cyl M52.
Other threads say that the M52 is only going to give me one extra horse power than the M50 and i'm guessing that it's a heavier engine so is it worth it in terms of power to weight?
My other dispute is that as my car is a 1992 model and the M52 is a younger engine whether or not the electrics would match up with all this talk of ews and etc.
On the other hand as the M52 is younger, did bmw design it a bit lighter than the M50.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as i'd like to start looking for my new engine.
Thanks in advance:thumbsup
