Could anyone give some advise or any help at all on things i can maybe do to the engine(535i) before it goes in, all the new fixings and mods are in so its just the engine mods? Also some pics would be good too!
Many thanks Tim

Hi, Have a look at www.e30.de.
andy335touring has a modded 535i engine in his car and might be able to help.
however it's not a very tuneable engine, you won't see much more than 250bhp without forced induction and whatever you do will cost big money.
if you don't think the m30 will be enough power before you've even installed it then why aren't you putting an m-power engine in instead? the m30 is a lot of power for little money but if you want to tune it then it'll cost you more in the long run.

You should be fine with a standard E34 M30 3.5ltr with a chip,drop it in and see.
You can allways drop in a cam and/or head work at a later date,but its not cheap !
Where are you based Tim ? May be you can pop over for a ride ?
