What would you do to your car if you had 1k?

Surley the s50 would be the better of the two to spend on. Is the S50 the 3.6 or 3.8 engine?

I've no idea, the s50 is the e36 M3 motor mate, so 3.2.
You're thinking of the s38 in the e34 m5's, more grunt but no vanos etc and heavier, not that the s50 is light!!!

Ah gotcha. As usual getting myself in a muddle.

The S14 is a strong little engine but I think the s50 could have more potential to get the power from. If I remember correctly I think there is a 1-3bhp gain from the carbofiber airbox. Personally I would go for a new exhuast ststem for the M3. I think it was you that said they are nearly £900 for the BMW one ( if you can get it) so I would get a copy made in a light high grade stainless made up.

Also you could get the head polished. Maybe get some sonic cleaned injectores installed too. but I understand how you got very little you can do now as it would be extream mods for little gains.

New clutch fitted (been in my cellar for a couple of years), new centre section and back box, all fluids changed inc brake, diff and gearbox. Wheels to be refurbished and two rear tyres.

Might be over budget a touch

Save some more and do a E36 M3 EVO Conversion.

[blingsta]

Ha ha guys, I might have a butchers in halfords and see what's available!! Told you to keep it to yourself shaz! As for the e36 m3 conversion?? Why waste money on that when my m30 3.5 will pee all over it if boosted
I'm gonna have a proper think bout this and spend wisely! Although I like the beer and hookers idea .

Like the sound of that

I'm sure you'll choose the right option

[E30BeemerLad]

And a LS1 will shat on the rest

Boosting a 20 year old M30 donk won't last long unless you rebuild first

[gooner1]

Bodywork. Boring but needed.

[johnl320]

blue one- rear arches and paint

black one- timing chain, and as many bushes/bearings with whats left

Thats a grand on each car before anyone starts quoting prices

it has been ...

I think the best option and also the one that wifey would like best is if I tidy the car up and sell it,

after all, that was the agreement I made with her in order for me to be allowed to buy it.

[E30BeemerLad]

lol, I was supposed to be just tidying the touring up to sell it on for a quick buck when I bought it, well that was the excuse I gave her She knows the score though
