Wrong choice of engine

[Kos]

dont buy it

buy a 2,8m52 do all the bolt on mods,( use the search function for all the info) and drop that into your e30

you'll have about 230bhp

Christ, a 2.5 M52 is bad enough... but a 2.0L

for the love of god... dont put that 2.0 in.. as kos says get the m52b28 ... m50 inlet, bbtb, map and shes good for 230bhp.... £700 for a 2.0 engine in my eyes is daylight robbery.
