I was gona start this kinda thread as well for the M50/M52 boys to brag/talk/big up (whatever you wana call it) about there cars.
last weekend on my way to ants house i served up a V64MOTION it was de-badged, but you can tell a MK4 golf with two pipes sticking out on one side, could not have been a V5, as this V6 did hold its own untill silly MPH when he had to make way...

my touring will kill m50/m52's all day long if thats what you want?

i know your ford engine will kill an m50/m52s the comment was not aimed at you, it was for all the other posts that were of topic and were a waste of time to read.

Looks to me like the E30 wins that, hands down!!

Personally I think the M54B30 is perfect engine to swap into the E30. Light, plenty of power, fuel efficient, and new technology

Too bad they are still too expencive
