Does anyone out there know what this engine is?

Ive seen a few conversions done with these engines on youtube & they are achieving scary amounts of horses with these engines, they are turbo as well.

So, i'm making it a project of mine to convert my stock E34 535 engine to one of these BUT I want a manual box so if any of use out there know the engine number of these, whether or not they come out with a turbo + a box that would fit, help me out

Cheers!

that would be aM5 engine , M88 euro spec 315hp for 3.6l or s38 for crappy usa spec , lower power and compression ( good for turbo project) , just turbo std M30 535i engine , easy enough to get 280kw at the wheels .

over 400hp at the flywheel

std 535 e34 gets about 120kw at the wheels .

check with TOPCAT .

he just did his M535i e28 .

you need a getrag 260 or 280 box , or you could use a getrag 265 if you like changing gears all the time..

some pics of my M88 in my e28

ok awesome shot for that, if you know, how much can you pick these up for, complete engine with box, loom computer the lot?

[BM WORLD 1264]

about $10-15k if you can find one . theres LHD m635csi on trade me $18k

can buy complete M5 for about $20-25k .

best bang for buck is M60 4lL v8 but againd hard to find manaul box .

or turbo or super charge the std M30 3.5l
