M30B35

the M30B35 found in the e34... good engine? any common problems... whats the fuel consumption like?

 

[Nic_s]

From what I've heard they are pretty strong motors, will last you long time. It's pretty heavy on fuel though. Think it uses about the same as the 540 M60.

What you planning??

 

[moranor@axis]

shhh :rollsmile:

Powerfull, not that fast from pull away with a automatic box, pretty durable, if kept in a good condition it will last you along time, but consumption is heavy. I got only 5.5km\L on my 535i in any type of driving, driving miss daisy, normal driving and drove it like it was stolen. :thumbs:

I would love to know what you are planing.:=):

not all that exciting, but looking at maybe getting this...

 

[Gerhardm32]

Mmmm.... do we get to see a 323i maybe getting a M30B35?

na after the tune on my car it will be getting almost the same torque and power figures will see what i get though... without eating as much fuel :rollsmile:

im sure there is alot more power to be got from M30B35 with decent compression...

 

[Gerhardm32]

Sounds nice

Alpina B10 was tested in Car magazine years ago - the M30B35 had 187 kw or thereabouts .Will check later at home on performance figures of e34 .

 

[rick540]

Very strong, and torquey and seriously reliable but they eat frikkin fuel and it's not a very smooth six at all.

Still I like them

 

[moranor@axis]

seems fuel will be the only issue...

Yah I think I remember that mag, it was a red one. If memory serves;

0-100 @ 7.74sec
1km sprint 27.8 @ 194kph

Potential in an M30 should be high seeing as it's only producing 44.2Kw/L, and I think Moranor likes boost :rollsmile:

Car mag January 1991 :Alpina B10 manual 0-100 7.79 , 0-120 10.55 , 1km 28.15 at 194 . 187Kw at 6000 revs and 325Nm at 4000 .mass 1660kg .
October 1991 : Alpina B10 Auto : 0-100 8.79 , 0-120 11.63 , 1Km 29.16 at 188 .
Both had 235/45x17 on front and 265/40x17 rear :thumbs:

I really want an e34, but the problem is this one eats fuel and is quite a bit slower than my current car

What I find strange is the S38B36 0-100 - 6.3Sec, uses less fuel than the M30B35, has more output per liter than a Ferrari testarosa S38 -> 64.4Kw per liter Ferrari -> 58.9Kw per liter yet it's loosely based on the same M30 engine.

So the answer is if you want an E34.... get an M5

This kind of says it ( And no I personally dont drive like this that's why there's youtube)

And the 3.8 just eats a 540i/6 for breakfast

And here's some silly Americans

In fact once they get the legs on the highway the 3.6 and 3.8 basically run away.

Ok lol there's my toung in cheek brag for the day, that's stock but it's so easy to bump a 540 power up to way above this

 

[moranor@axis]

im thinking a 540 with a short ratio :rollsmile: parts on the M5 scare me... i wish it was easier to find 6 speed boxes for the 540

True the parts are scary, but Ebay often comes through.

then again engine den has a 1UZ+WIRING+COMPUTER going for 7.5k :fencelook:

Yes - buy that and mate it to Nicwes' busted 320:idea:
