[QUOTE="kevster30, post: 392095, member: 10"] M20 engines are nice little engineering gems but require an experienced M20 mechanic to set it up right. Nothing wrong with a stock M20B25 as long as it is healthy and set up right. For an old school engine, it is still creamy smooth with a wonderful spread of torque throughout the powerband. Best engine IMHO for an e30 if you only have one under the garage. Then again you have to try an e30 with a M30B35 under the hood to truly appreciate the term 'automotive porn' :) ....or an e30 with a M50B32 :) ......or the most underrated engine for the e30, the M42B18, as exemplified by Fabian :) At the end of the day, most engines from BMW are fantastic engineering gems. You just got to set them up right and learn its characteristics. [/QUOTE]
