Anything is possible! Of course the only limitation is the size of your wallet

yeah man, the wallet determines how much mod you can do. Here is what a 6-cylinder 2 litre engine is capable of :

Type: six-cylinder in-line
Capacity: 1990 cc
Bore x stroke: 80 x 66 mm
Compression: 11 : 1
max. output: approx. 275 bhp at approx. 8,800 rpm
max. torque: approx. 230 Nm at approx. 7,000 rpm
max. engine speed: 9,000 rpm (as per regulations)

But of course, you may have to rebuild every 100 hours or so, or less

As said elsewhere, if you want power, go for 525i before buying the 520i since the cost is the same (except for the road tax).

Flash... as a friend.

I just want you to avoid the problems that I've faced. Not worth it la..M20B20 E34..?? no need la. Just get the M50B25.

Take Lionel as an example...He is satisfied with his M20B20 E34...He knows what I mean. Thats why he is saving up for the M50B25.

OSflanker too...he kept the his B25 stock.

Useless la if you rojak..!! If not I do liao.. B) Thats why I'm still running on M20 short block and the piston stock.

BMW is not stupid la..

The most underrated of all the MOD that ppls do is trhe DME la. Keep it stock and you'll be fine.

Yesterday, I almost booked a Myvi la.....

525i enough play liao, esp on Malaysian roads. On track, diff story lah but then I have the Kookaburra One and also 14,000rpm machine.

Zog, dun book the MyVi lah, just take the Kookaburra and restore the interior, put in aircond and it's ready to go pasar

That is the problem. To find a good example M50B25 E34 at the price I can afford is like trying to strike a jackpot. A few weeks back, I thought I found one such example. Price is good too. Everything looks and feels ok... except that when on idling for 1/2 hour so with the aircon on, the temp gauge was at 3/4. Scrutinised the engine again and found tell-tale oil leaks around the gasket area, which the dealer tried to hide by cleaning the engine very well. Guess the engine had suffered some damage from overheating problems. Gave it a wide berth. Darn.

Guess I can live with the 2.0L, well, I have been driving 1.5L and 1.6L cars in the past and they were no tyre burners.

Friend, in other words where got such deals When a car is cheap, there is always a hidden catch la, unless the owner owe a loan shark some $$$ and desperate for $$$. The recent ad by DD on a e34 525i is a good buy!
