635 CSI M52 Conversion Possible?

[BMWE30325]

as above would it be very hard to do or similar to the e30 conversion?

[ajay]

Im sure its possible with out too much dificulty but an m52 would not output as much tourqe as the m30 that the 6 series comes with.

[e21Jason]

Been done on a e28 so possible yes

Only if you want to spend lots of money to go slower and have a car that is worthless after all the dramas

In a nutshell!

Why bother when you could have this beast instead?

so is the 3.5 better engine than the m52?

No, not at all, BUT it is a much better engine for a 635

M52 in a E24. How wrong would that look?

Congratulations Yuri, have a cabbage.

The turd that you have spent many months ruining is a sorry piece of scrap

The factory put the V12 in to build the 850 development mule. There's been a few of them done.

M52 is pointless. Best conversion for a b34 is b35.

Shouldn't that be an Asparagus?

5.0 V12 in an E24 just oozes rightness!

Rover sd1 v8 powerhouse!?

[Andyboy]

2.8 Ford Cologne V6 for the win.

[Speedtouch]

Nah, what you want is the 2-litre Ford Pinto lump, as some Irish bogshoite fitted in an E36.

Preferably with a very worn camshaft, so that it clatters in an agricultural way.

[cecotto479]

Fiat twin cam?

[Speedtouch]

Actually, that probably wouldn't be so bad in a 635CSi, as they are extremely torquey in 2-litre form.

[Phill172]

Always wanted one with a e60 35 diesel......

But big car either v8 or v12

[sweep]

Crossflow......

[Dan320is]

A series or CVH.

[anothere21323i]

Another boat anchor - BMC C Series......

[duracel79]

Sounds like a great idea to put an M50 into an E24 ........................












With a Turbo

[Andyboy]

A Rover 2300 straight six with a single turbo blowing through three Ford VV carbs on a cast iron log manifold.

[Speedtouch]

Now you're talking, though I would personally prefer to use the Austin Princess 2.2 straight-six.

[Andyboy]

Aah, the redoubtable E6. She'd benefit from some headwork but surprisingly, not a bad engine. The Rover unit was okay (the 2600 was very pokey) but the oil drain back valve scuppered many - it used to block, starving the head Nd cam of oil. Standard Leyland dealer practice was to unscrew the valve and give it a distance test* before fitting a replacement head with the valve omitted. Worked fine and increased the oil supply to the cam.

*see how far it can be thrown.

[Speedtouch]

Let's not forget the AMC Pacer engine; a vast 3.8/4.2-litre boat anchor that could only muster about 100 bhp and return 17 mpg average. Party on - NOT!

And then, there's the Ford Zephyr/Zodiac lump - I saw a VW Beetle with one hanging out the back of it once; the handling must have been lethal!

Still, both worthy candidates for dropping into an E24...

Big Block Mopar

Here's a very, very nice S54 installation into an E28 that might give you food for thought..
