Hi Guys
Just a quick note to mention that I bought an early M30 3500 Hi Flo Sport for my Bavaria back in 1987; drove it 10 years on the street, about 20 HPDE drivers schools, 190K miles total; then sold it to a Vintage Racer who raced for 5 more years on the same engine. Second M30 engine was in the family car until rear-ended, then swapped into next family car, then finally sold when the kids were grown. Incredible longevity with this amount of performance; and never any oil consumption! S52 projects underway…

…so, just finished looking over the new website…great job.
Reminded me how significant a “silent” modification can be. I neglected to mention that I’ve also put 2 Ultimate Transmissions in my cars, and never heard a “peep” from either…. quiet, smooth, reliable shifting, as a tranny should be.

Looking at putting an LSD and increasing final drive ratio. Mark Baer, from SCR Performance here in Colorado, steered me toward you folks. This is for a 2002 E39 540-6. I do autocross with it (I know it’s fat) and am leaning toward 3.38-3.62 gearing. Would appreciate any information you could give on your experience and products. Thank you. Jim

What can i do to improve a 1984 E30 ETA engine performance for a reasonable sum. I do not want to replace the engine, just some enhancements. Car only has 60,000 miles

  Hi Dave, without going into the engine, you’ll be left with the options of 1) Exhaust, 2) Performance Chip, 3) Lightened Flywheel with an Upgraded Clutch and 4) changing the Differential Rear Gear Ratio and/or 5) adding a Limited Slip or our VLS, Variable Limited Slip if you don’t already have an LS. We can go over these options in more depth on a phone conversation if you want. Send us a number and the best time to reach you and I’ll call. Sincerely, Teddy

  Hi Gordon, yes we could build the engine and send it to South Africa. UPS Air Freight Consolidated can send a covered palette of 36″ x 3″ x 30″, weighing 320 lbs, with a $6000 engine in it (Rebuild Price plus Core Charge) for an insured shipping price of $750. This price would deliver the engine to the UPS Service Center near the Johannesburg Airport – maybe about 45 minutes drive from Pretoria. Also, we are available to discuss the build with you on a phone call. Thanks much for your interest. Mary
