@plytagalvis You get horrible weight balance with the M30. In a M635CSi you got 57% of the weight on the front wheels, which is a horrific amount. The E30 is an even lighter car, and therefore the weight balance is even worse. It's a pity, since the E30 got such a nice and low weight. It would be a track day killer with this amount of power.
@535E34 I have measured my 4 cylinder E30 318i (with M40 - the lightest engine except M10) and it had 60/40 weight ballance!!! I think that the suspension is engineered for that ballance and there's no problem, as there are original Alpinas with M30.
E30s have great handling, but they are very far from 50:50, that's why many racers push the motor backwards, I have seen even a 318is with that modification.
Nice video!

How is the handling with M30?
I've read a lot, that big&heavy M30 upsets the handling of e30 greatly, because nice front/back weight balance is lost...

@Overdrive872 That was interesting, never heard that before. Stock m40?
535E34 2 months ago
@535E34 yes, stock M40 sedan with almost no options. It weights 1080kg total, measured at calibrated scale.
I am upgrading it with M42, disk brakes,medium case differential,anti roll bars and will measure it again, I think it will become 20-40kg heavier.
