It'll be a 3.25, medium case. MOST M30 powered E28's came with LSD. Some didn't though, so its always a plus when you find one. Good score. Got pics of your 533? I used to own a Schwarz over pearlbeige, 84 533i. It had Koni's, Eibash spring, Koni sways, E32/E34 brakes, 16's with 245/45's, etc. Total animal of a car, I loved it.

Yeah it was! I actually really miss it. What I don't miss, is the holes the driver's seat put in all my work jeans.

Best $150 car EVER!

LSD FTW!

Yeah, thanx i love it i have some basic pics on my album, Im loving the heated seats these chilly mornings. How hard are the big valve heads to get a hold of? Would i have to achieve a different stroke because its for a b34?

Forget about doing a head swap. Just bolt a B35 into it, and enjoy!

wouldnt the difference be like 10hp? i guess more than the head alone, but if i want to force induction, the bigger valves will make more difference than the change in displacement no?

If you want to go forced induction, leave the B32, and cram some boost down its neck.

If you want to make NA power, bolt in a B35 with a chip. Stock B35 is 208hp, to your 181. And torque is substantial as well.

Thanx al, good point

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much work to make it drivable! Who could forget about bleeding the brakes....and your denial about the master cylinder.....

I still laugh about the time when we picked up those wheels
