    BMW Data

    I believe that when the E36's and Z3's started using the m42 from the E30, it was rebadged as an m44.

    M42 Oil Type... What should I be using?

    looking for advice and help

    In my opinion, an E30 is the most fun you can have driving a Bimmer. For 3500 buck, a 325e/es (1984-1987) would be a good starter car. There's tonnes of torque, and with a chip and K&N air filter you can get about 200 ft/lbs. BHP isn't too high (121) but the thing will lay rubber, no problem...

He says they drop two "terds" into the rad at the end of the assembly line to stop any leaks on the new cars. You...
