ok. So is the m52 just an alloy block version of the m50tu?

If this is the case, surely the weight difference between the alloy block and the bigger iron block of the 3.5, would virtually negate the 16bhp difference? Plus the technological advancement of the vanos system?

Do I could source any of these engine from; early e34's, later e34's, post 1989?, early e36's too?

Still lost on the m30? Links show m50b35?

Somebody please spell it out for this spastimicated think country bumpkin!!!
