:/ M engines used to be beautifully simple.
Like VANOS?
VANOS big deal, almost all engines have VVT on one or both cams nowadays. Anyway, aesthetically the VANOS doesn't look ugly
Come to think of it, there were basic models like the 316 with the valvetronic system which is much more complex.
Of course. No frills motor with a set of ITBs on one side and nice tubular headers on the other. No rats nest of hoses. I don't need to post pics, do I?
So back in the 80s in the E30 M3 then as since then the M3s haven't been ITBs? They have been VANOS 6pots from the E36 onwards not 4pot ITB engines. Unsure about the rest of the M range though.
I know what it means and was under the impression the 6pots didn't?
E: I'm talking E36 mostly, E46 did yeh.
All have, e30 M3, e36 M3 3.0 and 3.2, e46 M3, e92 M3.
