The Highline used the late version of the M30 (220bhp vs. 218bhp). So
did the E34 but this was detuned to 211bhp, probably in an attempt to
stop it being faster than the 6 or 7. If you're looking for a replacement engine for your 6 then don't bother with the E34 motor. The sump is different & so are the engine mounts. Pretty sure the E32 engine drops straight in. Don't spend a fortune as BMW will supply a new engine for around £2k. ------------- AndyS Live each day as if it's your last - one day it will be. http://www.photostick.co.uk/view-933_BaurSig1.jpg" rel="nofollow">

Personal opinion - I'm on my 4th Beemer, and run 3 at present, including 6 of course; and though main dealer are okay on spares, they are very much my last resort. As to servicing and repairs . . . . well, err, I believe the expression is "don't get me started". ;-) |
