BMW M Power 3.2L Engine

Has any body heard any comments about this engine? it seems like a steal.

"This engine makes 321Hp and 258 ft-lb of torque from the factory with stock reliability. These engines are sold complete with Euro headers, 6 throttle body intake, and all electronics".

It sounds good to me but i just dont want to buy a motor that is going to blow up because this is my second swap in the car this month. Is this a high reving motor??

How difficult would this be to install in a 98 325is. considering the motor is for a m3.

The M-power

Re: BMW M Power 3.2L Engine

to just swap the motor it should fit alittle tight
but ive seen s62's in a z4 the e39 m5 motor the tricky part will be getting all the electronics to work
your e36 is not at the same ews level as the new m3 so youl probly have to upgrade to that as well as the can bus this talks to the instiurment kluster the dsc stability control and the smg if equipped all that will need to be worked out as well its not just swapping motors anymore. make sure you look into this befor buying

I gave up on the bimmers and got a Jaguar-X type today. Lot more car for the money if u ask me. But BMW's are still my favorite just cant afford to keep one on the road at the time being.
