The blue block is an M30... I think your eyes are making you see 4-pot wrongness even when there's 6 holes. :P
M30? Is that what the 'M' in Z3M stands for then! :idea:


:poke:
What you talkin' 'bout, Willis?

To be honest, I don't know what I was on about either... The blue block's an S50?

I thought the blue block was your stripped Z3M engine.

It matters not, find an M40 or better yet M42 and get that Z3 back on the road.

Thats about it other than if people are mentioning mums and dads from their paths then my 2 house mates have an old Rover216SLI, grandad car but with honda rightness means best £200 runaround ever, and the other is in a Thurlby 888 Derv astra, which we fondly refer to as his van just to piss him off.

Oh and car trailer ...
