535er 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2007 (edited) 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!

BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted October 1, 2007 (edited) 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 Edited October 1, 2007 by Brent HARTGE535i Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted October 2, 2007 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
