Is it a 24v head, though, or just a Hartge style rocker cover on a 12v head?

M20 24V or 12V over a M50 for me, old skool is where it at.
24V M20 had 100bhp per litre, thats 280 brake in a nice 2.8L N/A M20.

Ahh, they even had the 2.8 conversion done too!!!
Definitely the M20 in that case
Much nicer to keep the orginial engine in a sport too... 316, 318i and 320s are a deferent matter, lol.

No sorry RD only got as far as 2.7L in the M20. I just meant imagine slapping that on one of the new 2.8 builds.Dave_M3 wrote:Ahh, they even had the 2.8 conversion done too!!!

i read somewhere that the m50 24v head bolds straight onto the m20 block, however the valve timing etc needs to be configured for it to work.
personally i prefer te silk smooth m20 to the m50 only wished they were 24v now only to realise they were made although rare.
too tired to read what i wrote so excuse mistakes.

There would be no cooling to the head since the water channels don't line up, don't believe everything you read.87mtech27 wrote:i read somewhere that the m50 24v head bolds straight onto the m20 block, however the valve timing etc needs to be configured for it to work.

The bolts on but that's it.
There was a thread on an old e21 fourm were one of the guys is a BMW tech who posted a pictures of a m50 head on a m20 block that they had built up in the workshop, nothing but the studs and chambers lined up.
