Sexy... I do like 24v power tell you the truth....
But as they say there is no replacement for displacement!
The bigger your dick the more fun you have
There definitely is.. Theo's old 3.5 made 200bhp on a dyno.. I can almost guarantee this 24v makes the same.. Plus has better economy and is lighter..

Jhonno, is that a M3 setup your running to use the TS's on?
E34 x 1 - V8 + lots of CF
E30 x 2 - Tourings (1 x M50, 1 x M40)
RS6 C5 - Stage 1 remap - 500bhp

24v +2
I've had 2.. and the m52 is by far the most impressive! endless surging useable power.. m30's have just missed the boat!
Bollocks to this 24v scrap!

^^^ That does look good. How much would it cost for one of those conversions?

Dan's was a 328 but as a rough guide my m50 conversion cost me about £580 all in.
and it's worth every penny - even though I'm allready looking for an M52

Was that for everything, including parts and labour?

Labour was free..... I did it! All the parts cost that - although DanThe made my loom up because I try and avoid electrickery!
Most of the parts were bought from DanThe actually
