Here's my question; I bought an Eurospec M3 last week, but I'm wondering if it is OBDI or OBDII..... The car is from Dec. 1995 ('96 model) and it has the 3.2 L engine. How can I check it?

It all has to do with emissions as far as I know. Probably the BMW Motorsport department was on its top of production capacity!Originally posted by BaLAnCe17@Apr 4 2005, 02:21 AM

There are a lot of differences between the engines.
The S50B30 (euro 3.0) has 286hp. The euro 3.2liter is called S50B32.
So we didn't get the all aluminium S52 at all.
Both S50B30 and B32 are based on the M50.
Pretty much everything in the head(ported, polished, larger valves, harder springs, etc) is different, the individual throttle body intake and internals differ too.
And on the OBD thing, we didn't get OBD-I. OBD-II is mandatory from like '02 and I don't think E36 got it all here.

Hey P, you bitch I didn't know that it was the 320hp modelOriginally posted by dutchbmw@Apr 3 2005, 10:21 AM
I don't know sure if we have OBDI or OBDII, but I guess we have. The only different thing could be that customers (in europe) can't read them out. I'm not sure about this point but I think it is. Our models have also a cat and O2 sensors.
Yes, it's the blue beast I posted in the lounge a while ago. I would really appreciate it if you could find any information about that!
Here's a pic of the car I'm talking about!

I would be happy with to and I will be more happy when you ship the motor to me after you crash it. Just kidding Maybe if get off my lazy ass, I might come visit you and we can take that thing for a ride.
Yeah he got it last week. I think that he wishes that he would have got a M3 since I blow the doors off his 328 on the way back from chic-town. When are going to take more video of you doing burnouts with the M3? later P
