| the e30 m20 (6 cyl) is a good car. You can get them loaded up nicely, and they are pretty quick. They are 170 hp. The engine is very well engineered, and lasts a long time. There is lots you can do with them. If you get tired of the performance, converting to a m50 (1992-1995 325 motor) is reletively easy, and yields a nice power increase.
