hi all am new here dident see a newbie section so thought id post here im planning on getting a e34 with one intention to turbocharge it. but am torn beetween wich one 525i m50 which ive read is a better head or 535i m30 which has more cc but only a 12v head i will be running after market managment[k3] but would like to see what the standard internals will take your feedback and experiance/suggestions will be much appreciated
welcome to the forum Steve....:thumbsup
Ive moved this to the intro section for you mate. If you post your question in here http://www.bimmerforums.co.uk/forum/f80/ im sure one of the turbo gurus will be along to help soon...:thumbsup
Hi, I'd do the turbo conversion to a M50 myself, the M30 is a heavy old slug but a turbo would liven it up a bit, M50's go well with turbos bolted on, you could look into a supercharger as a different option to a turbo.:thumbsup
Keep us posted and post a pic up of the car you finally get.
If this helps at all... my friend (who recently passed away) swore on the M50 over the M30 as he actually got rid of his 535i for the exact reason you asked. (think he prefered the M50 anyway as he rebuilt one from the pan upwards lol)
cheers i know the m50 is just like most modern engines so will be east to play with is there a bigger version of it ive seen a 2.8 i think but not sure if it is the same
cheers steve
