m20 here - my donkey only turns the alternator pulley, 4-5 days a week if it's sunny.

So there's TWO donkey powered cars lol, and quite a number of 540's. Has anyone got a 518?

The 5th, 7th and 8th ones down are M50 motors. There's the M50B20 and the M50B25, and the iX (4wd version). Have I missed something?

There's at least the M50B25TU. Not sure if the B20 had a TU variant.

Quite surprised at the large # of M60B40's around here.

Well spotted Bubba. I'll modify the poll to account for vanos/non vanos m50's. Shall I add twin vanos models too?

OK So how do I edit the poll then? When I try to edit the original post I can't get to the poll?
