[QUOTE="535i, post: 287899, member: 83"] Based on my personal experience - the best engine is the V8 4.0 M60 Torque curve starts from circa 2,000 rpm right to redline. Very 'docile' when stuck in traffic jam. Available parts (a bit pricey) + quite straight forward to maintain it. Esp if you convert it to manual trans S38B36 aka M5 engine is a high performance engine. In simple terms - it needs to be driven - hard ... It hates traffic jam (so will u ... !), high maintenance, rare & expensive parts + not many mechanics knows how to fiddle with the M car esp S38B36. Power comes after 4,000 rpm ... Then again, u can always go with M3 3.0/3.2 engines, M50, M30 or even M20 ... How deep is the pockets - that will be the questions ... [/QUOTE]
