At college we have a dyno, but it needed setting up so helped a little in setting it up. On of the technicians was playing in his E36 (he doesn't believe the E30 is the right way) but anyway it's M50 and sounds OK (for a 6 pot).
He didn't get any accurate readings as he was setting up, but last time it made 192.5hp at the fly.
When I get on the road the M40 will be going on there for some powAAAAh readings

Just cause I have a 'small' one (engine I mean), doesn't mean it's any lesser than any other E30.

Right on, Max! It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it!

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the E36, it's a great car, end of.
Just prefer the E30...
