BMW M51 questions from California
BMW M51 questions from California
It seems there are turbo and turbo intercooled models, td & tds. I find references to two models of each, and some refrences to chiping, is there a mechanical and an electronic injection pump? Can anyone shed light on the differences? I find little information in english.
What transmissions were used? I have a couple (not sure, a few?) S5D 250 G from M50 gas and can affordably get a complete S5D 310Z from 91-92 525i a d just about any other common us model in the 15-30 year old range.
Will m50 flywheel work? I have bolted an m20 flywheel to an m50 with minor clearancing.
How much power can I get from a basically stock engine, no major modifications? I want something I can drive every day and while power is fun I'm more interested in getting it together.
Thanks in advance.

12-22-2013, 04:02 PM #1I know there are a few Europeans on here, perhaps a speed Finn or two. I have an e34 in the yard..actually my BMWs range from 68 2002 project to a 97 M3 parts car, but they all have the same problem, they requird some sort of slovent in the fuel tank...nasty and the thought of the stuff causes me to have epileptic seizures. I have seriously contemplated importing either a couple complete engines or perhaps if it makes shipping easier they could be broken down into individual components, ya know, to repair my bmw because those parts are so hard to find over here...
