    Default Best Looking BMW Engine Bay

    in personal order of best looking. for me the intake manifold is a major criteria. a clean valve cover without stuff all over as well.

    M70

    M20

    M42

    M10
    can't find a decent picture on the net.
    M30

    M50

    M40


    I don't know the M engines.

    Its so clean, you can see through it.


    Oh wait, just got uglier


    Thought I had one with an engine in it, but I guess not

    Oh, Jeff, is that your e31? (don't recall the colour). If so, it mighty f'in clean for a Michigan vehicle.

    I've never seen a four cylinder in an e34. It looks like a smudge on the transmission

    $hit, dropped my socket. Oh there it is.

    Not mine, borrowed those links from the for sale page on Wuffers site. Mine has a way to go to get to that point.

    I have one. it is always a shock when I open the hood of my 518 after working on my 325. but you get used to it.

    as a pure mean of transportation... it is the best car ever. why?
    lowest taxes on a E34. E34 is my fav chassis. lowest fuel consumption. very confy.
    seriously.. on long trip I take my 518i. besides with my 518 I'm never trying to take over other cars or I don't try playing around. it is a more relaxed driving experience. and the sporty seats of the 325 really hurt my back.

    And, must be easy to get around when working on it I can really appreciate the fuel consumption as well.
