Hi All, 316-318 E30 have become very cheap to buy in Europe, and I was thinking of buying yet another and upgrade it to a fast(er) toy... I have the following...

Hi Bob, Thanks for the reply. At this point it makes sense to keep the original engine block which is for all practical purposes new with only 30.000 Km. I've...
You have a 4-speed transmission? I think that is limiting your top speed more than the current carburetor. Look for a 5-speed to exchange with the current...
