CamB 48 Report post Posted February 14, 2010 I am sure one of the M30 experts can chime in, but I'd expect your best performance upgrade is to stick the later, more powerful 3.5 litre M30 in. The T28 is barely big enough for 3 of your 6 cylinders. It'd be like a butt plug. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellicose 9 Report post Posted February 14, 2010 Yep M30b35. But find an early one (E23 7eries, early E32 7 series) as later 3.5 engine mounts don't line up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM WORLD 1286 Report post Posted February 15, 2010 yup just drop in a 3.5l m30 from 1979 to 1987 etc models . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
