soarer260@hotmail.com 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2010 Right, so I've been looking around the last couple of weeks for options to upgrade my stock M50 Vanos intake & exhaust camshafts The options seem to be M50B30 US cams... but they seem extremely hard to source being from US models. The other, Schrick cams, and I'm guessing a few other after market cam manufactures but what is a good local solution here in New Zealand for upgrading cams without importing stuff from the states etc? Also has anyone done cam upgrades on their Vanos M50, with dyno results, some I have seen show good figures, but I think its better telling from more local results rather that ones from USA or Europe. Any help would be good. Cheers Mike. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

my_e36 43 Report post Posted January 31, 2010 Are you sure it's M50B30? I did hear of S50B30US cam swap (US spec M3 cam). http://www.dtmpower.net/forum/australia/15...2us-debate.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
