[Badbeam]

I was searching on the internet and found these kits for e36 325s and the price was decent and was wondering if anybody has one or heard anything about the company. Here are some links

It says it is for the M20 motor, the M20 motor is from an E30 3-series, the M50 motor is in the E36...

I wouldn't put it on my motor...

I didnt see that until you pointed it out but he bottom link doesnt say m20 and I seen the kits on some other sites and it said e36. But I am going to check it out some more to see if its for e30 or e36s.

a link like homemade turbo for bmws? it's not hard to design your own turbo system. actually, it's quite easy. just takes some fabrication.

WTF. I emailed TSI about their kit asking them to clarify what engine their kit is for. THey responded by telling me that the kit is for the e36 m20 325i cars. Is this guy for real. i mean if im correct the m20 comes in e30's only. Am i correct?

the picture is wrong also, the manifold is for a 4 banger. Sounds fishy to me.

i hope that guy you talked to didnt design that kit. i thought my T3 60 trim was small...but shit a t25 is barely enough for the 1.8's its on in some DSMss.

okay heres the deal. i emailed the company asking them wtf is up with their ad. I told them that the m20 motor is found only on the e30 3 series and the e34 525i. They emaile me back saying the following

hello,
the M50 engine is a 2494 6cyl 24 valve engine found in the following cars e34 520i, e34 525i, e36 325i, e36 M3, e36 M3 evo.
the M20 engine is a 2494 6cy 12 valve engine found in 91-95 e36 325i cars. this is not the same M20 engine as a E30 from 82-91 this
displacement and head are different.
Hope this helps

hello again
send me a fax # so i can fax you direct bmw #'s
as for the s50 in a M3??? this is wrong the the e36 m3 comes with a 2990/6/m50 or a 3201/6/m50 not a s50??
you might want to check a BMW booklet, as BMW DID MAKE a e36 325i with the M20 engine.91-95. We are
a german based company so why wouldnt we sell euro spec bmw's??

Send me your fax#, ill send you the BMW pamplet..to help you.

i told him that the kit they sell is advertised wrong, maybe its because its for a euro spec bmw. im befuddled. is this guy really saying that the m cars came with m50's? what? to my knowledge the m cars come with S engines. s14, s50 s52 s54.

wtf is going on?
