E30 M3:
       An excellent choice - Replaces the peaky nature of the stock engine with the wide power curve of the M50.  Broad power in any gear makes driving sheer pleasure.  The car's outstanding suspension and brakes make this engine change an immediate success.  Power like the car ought to have.  Much more cost effective than stock S14 rebuilding or replacement.

E30 325i :
Outstanding- More torque at every RPM level gives excellent drivability under all conditions.  Higher horsepower will make increased tire size and handling improvements desirable.

E30 325e:
Just what the doctor ordered - A huge increase in driving excitement.  Higher horsepower will make increased tire size and handling improvements desirable.

E30 318i:
Outrageous - take a fine commuter car and turn it into a monster!  Handling and brake improvements will be necessary! Do it...
