E36 320

[Prinze]

Hi All,Re the title, are there many owners of this variant? I have been reading this forum and seems that most people either has a 318,325 or 328 and not much of the 320. Reason I am asking is that I would be viewing a 320 this weekend...year 92 iirc. Just wondering about the engine parts for 320. Would that be compatible with the rest? stuff like radiator and such. Appreciate some feedback. Thanks :top:

Hey Prinze,
engine parts FROM WHAT I THINK shouldn't be much of a problem as it has the same M50B20 engine as the 520i...however, as the car you're viewing is a '92 model then check if it has VANOS (M50TUB20 engine) or not...

Tom, how do I check whether it is Vanos or not by looking at the engine? are there any tell tal sign that? just in case the owner also don't know..:wink:

With VANOS. Flat if without it.

Roger that. So I guess all interior and exterior would have not difference right?

I believe 93+ starting to have Vanos.
So, the later car might have some updates too.
How hardcore are you ? if you intend to ForceInduction it, without Vanos is just fine too.

That's a tad too hardcore force feeding!:top: But i think the 320 should be enough. I am on a lookout for either 318/320 manual. seems really hard to come by. really tempted to just get an auto one and convert!

good luck finding one. Is not easy but well worth it.
I am driving a 325i manual. Ori. M-tech too.
