Well, I think a sleeper 733i would be kind of interesting..... a 20g at 11-13psi, with a good tune, 255 pump, 650 injectors, a good exhaust, shrick cam, and extrude manifold with a nice fmic..... Would it be somewhat quick, or just a slow turd due to the weight of the 7 series? I for one think it would be cool, a luxurious car with enough balls to kick a wrx maybe. Or, just get a 94-95 325i?
The poll starts.....

I say your M30/3.3 with a 60-1 ot T70 with some 550 injectors and 13psi will give you approx 300 or a little more to the wheels. The 20g is a little small for that motor....I had one on a M20 and it was hella small for it but nice and snappy

So with that being said what the heck are you waiting on?

Do it!!

We need more m30 guys! There are too many 2 valve haters as it is!

Well fellas, I ended up with the E30. Unfortunely it got wrecked by another man. I am currently buying a 328is to replace it. Sorry I didnt update, I just have been so busy.

Turbo the 7 series but remove as much weight out of the car as you can

I have seen some powerful M30/3.3 motors running around. There was one that had a GT40R that was laying down something around the 550 range, I think it was in a older 6 series. Defintley doable!

I am working on a Bi Turbo System for my e32 735i. Agreed this car may be too heavy to get under 10 sec qtr. But hot damn it will spank most Ricers.


Vac Stage three race head (Bluprinted, port and polished) Hi performance valves and springs. Shrick turbo cam (285 degree)
I need to build my own manifold, Also should i go water or air cooled? i currently have a GReady after cooler. But the engine bay will need some trimming to get it to fit. Any ideas?
