Sadly, I don't know enough about the stock 2.0. Start out by deciding your goals. If you're shooting for 400whp, you're better off swapping in most cases. If you'd just like a little power increase you may be fine with the stock motor. In general the M20/M50 are probably OK up to around 250whp, maybe more. The S50 should handle a good bit more, closer to 375whp, possible more if you push it. After that you're looking at a forged rotating assembly, which can get pricey. It’s possible.

Is the original a m20 engine? and also would it be clever for me if I am looking for a larger turbo and more hp to swap the engine to an m50 ? i am quite a fan of e30's but I have no practical or theoretical experience withing this subject unfortunately.. kindest regards Hey :) Great information.. i was just wondering if the original (e30 320i,stock) 2.0L could handle a turbo ?

Here's a great link: http://www.rtsauto.com/e30-bmw-m62-v8-swap-3/ As far as brake swaps go, I would avoid spending too much. New rotors, pads and fluid should suffice for most street driving. If you're planning on tracking the car, brake upgrades may be worthwhile, just remember, if you slap a large kit on the front and keep the rear stock, your brake bias may change and have a detrimental effect on braking.

My cousin also has a e30 and he told me he put a m60 off A 340i I think. I can't remember. Well he then put a brembo brake system. But as i said I'm 16 so brembo is a little off my budget. If I would do that swap would u recommend a different brake system or can I keep it stock. Sorry for the late response. My cousin also has a e30 and he told me he put a m60 off

I should first say that the BMW in the video isn't mine. If you're looking for 300whp from the M20 your best bet it to turbocharge it. You could piece together a kit as you go along which helps defray the cost. Buying used parts from the forums (e30tech.com and r3vlimited.com) will also help. The M20 with a headgasket and headstuds should be able to hold up to 300whp. Hi Gonzalo. I should first say that the BMW in the video isn’t mine.

I have a metallic blue E30 and I want to give it some balls the inline six is great it just doesn't pack enough. I'm just 16 so I'm not full of money but I want a lot of power like 300 horses sounds really good. Any suggestions Nice color.

It was bought with the chip and H&R/Bilstein combo. I never got to drive a "stock" iX, so I don't know the lowering height difference or the difference the chip made. I wouldn't expect the chip to add much though. It can certainly work in an automatic, but I would contact Turner Motorsports to verify. Alen, I have since sold the car.

Mine is a 1989 model with Racing dynamic kit. I was just wondering how much lowered is your ix now with H&R and Bilstein? and about the chip did you notice a difference? would I notice a difference in a automatic transmission?
