E30 Shooting Flames

vdvpj · 04-10-2018, 04:45 AM

I attended a Cars & Coffee event last weekend (in Belgium). There was a group of classic BMW's, among which this nice e30. He clearly modified the engine, it made a lot of noise and even shot some flames.

Is that a s52 e36 m3 engine in there?

They didnt get our s52 in EU(notice no ITBs). Thats probably an m52.

Your correct no ITB’s for US model but the 3.2 engine was called S52B32 and S50B30 for the 3.0 Ltr 1995 m3 US model. The m52 was in the 328i. Though supposedly the 328i and 3.2 m3 engine used the same intake manifold.

You guys seem to know a lot about these engines!

So you're saying this is an engine from a 328i E36?
