BMW People: I need help with this E36

[DinanM3atl]

So it's an S50b30 not an S50b30US...a different VANOS (continuously-variable), slightly different bore & stroke making 0.3:1 higher compression, and ITB's giving it 46 more horsepower.

...then AC Schnitzer gets a hold of it and magically adds 60 more horsepower! :boobies:

To my knowledge the Euro M3 motors are not even in the same engine family as the US stuff. Sure the S50 is a bored and stroked M50 but I don't think you can compare it like that. The Euro M3 engines have more in common with the S54 than the S50/S52 of the US. I could be wrong.

Either way there is a tuned S50b30 and lots of CF in that ACS car. it has 3 racing seats also.

2 in the front and 1 in the middle of the rear. It is a 3 seater IIRC.
