Now that I've had the head off the engine I feel safe in assuming that the exhaust valve head just happened to drop off and break the piston and then the rod went through the cylinder wall.

That practice has been going on since carfax started. Charging $1 will likely result in about uh 0 requests when it can be had for free. Most people feel it is a way to give back to the same source they have saved money with, answered questions, advice etc from the list.

Oddly enough, BMW itself has done both. In 1981 they cooked up the E12 M535i. It was the first volume M-car (thus I neatly sidestep the 1980 M1), although by the standards of the day 218 bhp in car weighing not very much at all was certainly true to the M recipe, if not M cylinder head design in particular. E30 fans will remember that BMW did the reverse in 1988 by installing a destroked E30 M3 engine into a standard Italian-market E30 bodyshell, and calling it a 320is. Question is, by BMW's standards what defines the M-factor? An E34 520i has more M-factor than an E46 sedan, as the E34 M5 shared its production-line bodyshell and drivetrain configuration (five speeds, six cylinders) whereas an E46 four-door M will never see the light of day outside BMW's doors. I would consider shoehorning an M engine into an E46 sedan to be more sacrilegous than doing the same to an E34 touring, for example.

That's what I get for listening to the owner and not checking my ETK before posting! :-) > Why not, a 3.73 you can get off a 325iS (E30) can't > you? After driving my old 528e on a 500-mile (one-way) trip at 4,000 RPM and 100 MPH, I've decided a 3.46 is about the extent to which I'm going to go with an e28. The difference between the 3.46 and 3.73 will be fairly negligible except for the increased RPMs on the highway. I'm trading a friend of mine straight up for his 3.46 LS, so that's another deciding factor. :-) > The numbers for the M3 are sort of reversed, 240hp > and 236 torque, although > Mr. Conforti claimed the 3.2L made more than the > claimed 240hp. Sorry. I pulled them straight from Dinan's website, but I may have swapped them. > Then do it!

If it was, I'd drop a US M30B34 into my car with the 8:1 compression ratio and turbo it!
