325e engine is from the e30 or e28 it is actually a 2.7 but severly restricted and a 5k rev limit. its the economy engine

its the eta engine with 125bhp

only good bit is the crank to make a firebreathing 2.7

if someone has fitted m20b25 pistons/head and a better cam and exhaust then maybe

Karan's engine cost 5k+ to build and has a massive spec, n that made 213bhp last time it was on the rollers

i fink it was m/n reg bt the guy b4 hand said it was real quick

[Jhonno]

the most powerful engine as standard in an e30 was the m20b25 (2.5) and made 170bhp

[Jhonno]

is the engine twin cam?

[touring_thru]

is there any bmw engne that does bout 192/92 bhp

[Jhonno]

the m50b25 makes 192bhp yes

2.5 24v

not a straight replacement tho, but a nice conversion (was never available with the e30)
