If you can replace the capacitors in things before they die, they may not get the chance to damage down-stream electronic components. Once you replace the caps with good quality caps, (Rubicon or Nichicon), you're usually all good. Resistors can die also, but that's more rare.

@shades2 yeh I got mine just as it was becoming faulty and it came good, still is today.

Nice engine.

I had 2.0 in my e30 for one year..than i swaped in 2.8(for week) and finaly i got the same 3.5 and I am satisfied. For that money can't be better ;)

yeah I got a BM E30 323 that has a bad engine, I love the way we can fit the 3.5L engine to them :D

Very affordable and strong engines the M30's are!

@BimmerM5e39 Fuck Chevy V8, what kinda BMW fan are u?

[Aussie50]

If I do eventually put a improved engine in I will consider a V8 conversion, but i'm not sure how the on-board electronics will like a Chevy V8.

I still have the short block that we pulled out, I may just put upgraded internals and high comp head on it.

What about a chevy swap V8 mate
