Yes as you speak,, the Skandinavians incl. the Finns are making the most
,,,,,, AWESOME ,,,,,,, E30´s in Europe today,,
their skills for Forced induction are on higher level than someone can imagine,,
S50B30 + B32 and S38B36 are most common but you see also B38
but thats rare,, offcorse the M30 is very populare ,,even the M70 is used
but my favorit engin is M106 (( the 745 Turbo))
easy install,, every thing is on the engine,, just CHIP and little modification and you have EASY 500 hp and 700 nm

then new mobil vs 500 1,8 L ((2x1 L bottle)) new gasket seal ,, and rock on
