Michael Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 From the purely financial viewpoint the “keep it all BMW†school of thought is correct. But as a BMW owner, I can tell you that those engines are temperamental, seriously lacking in the torque department, and definitely more show than go. So if you plan on selling the car, restore the BMW engine. If you plan on keeping it, yank that kraut boat anchor and drop in something more user-friendly. That said, aren’t there better options than a 2.4L inline-4? Like some sort of V6 in the 3.0-3.5L range, ideally with aluminum block – should be lighter than the inline-4, should easy fit in the engine bay, and would provide more torque – something that BMW’s traditionally lack. So where do you get all those nice cars? That car lot of yours is amazing! And I thought that Texas had nothing but pickup trucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
