That's a fairly significant amount, not counting the torque increase as well. That said, I wouldn't bother doing a 3.2 in my '95 M3 unless something catastrophic happened to my current motor and I had to replace it. At that point, why not go with the 3.2, the cost will be similar... -josh --- Frank & Kirsten <FranKirsten@msn.com> wrote: > Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2003 18:07:10 -0700 > From: "Frank & Kirsten" <FranKirsten@msn.com> > Subject: Re: [E36M3] M3 vs 325 Block > > What I'd like to know is what is that extra .2L > displacement really > going to get you in real world numbers.

Most "BMW people" would not know OBDI or II if they looked under the hood of one of my swaps.- they'd be hard pressed to notice the engine didn't belong there without digging around for the VIN. How will a minimmum wage employee who could care less decide to hook the Diag Computer to your engine cause it's OBDII even though the car is 1994? It's not gonna happen. I'm not suggesting anyone break the law, but to think it will get noticed is to give inspection stations a LOT of credit. Is it really federal law that emissions go with the engine? What a joke. At least it is here in Tennessee.

#5. .2l worth any power? - from Jon S.

Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2003 02:24:55 -0500 From: "Jon S." <treehouse@comcast.net> Subject: .2l worth any power? Well... on Euro motors, the difference is 35HP (manufacturer rated). And that's with no mods. Take club racing for example... If you want to place in C MOD, you'll need a built 3.2l, not a built 3.0l. (unless no one shows up). No real world numbers, but real world facts.

Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2003 08:20:20 -0500 From: David Bauer <dbauer@blkbox.com> Subject: Re: [E36M3] Emissions regulations go along with the engine used Ok, I wasn't quite sure on the facts so I did a little research. From what I read the Texas emission requirements are based on when the car was manufactured. It also states that the emissions equipment can be replaced with a system that is equally or more effective. "The owner or operator of the motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine shall not remove or intentionally make inoperable within the state of Texas the exhaust emission system or any part thereof, except where the purpose of removal of the exhaust emission system or part thereof is to install another exhaust emission system or part thereof, which is intended to be equally effective in reducing atmospheric emissions from the vehicle or engine." Now regarding my kit car comment, the manufacture date the car is titled with is determined by the engine. So in that special case the emissions requirements are based on the engine.
