I believe Alpina427 (?) on the E36coupe forum is the man to ask. He does big bore throttle body's to compliment the improved flow. You'll need an adaptor to fit the 328 throttle body to the M50 manifold.
Overall, it's best to get all the parts as a kit from the same source. I'm told the complete conversion will cost around £400 + the cost of a remap (£250 from Tim E for BMWClubNE members). You'll gain around 25bhp or so. However, you could just go out & buy a 4 door M3 with 286 or 321bhp |

Aye, a decent M3 will cost a few quid more to buy and a shed load more to run.

Yes and it will cost the same every year just to maintain it

that is so not true IMHO
If you of course run for every little worn-the-writing-off-the-face switch to the dealer, than yes. sure it's more than the rest of the e36 range, but not that much more. |
