[QUOTE="SachSeelan, post: 1064193372, member: 67487"] Hi Sonny, Saw ur post on bmwcm, wrong place to ask about 1jz, haha, all in the name of passion.. Anyway, i think it really boils down to your budget and what u want in terms of a car. Since you are already at it, might itself move to 2.5, as i believe to really enjoy the E46 driving dynamics this is the minimum requirement. Anything below 2.5 on a bimmer, i will consider it a point A to point B vehicle only. The Inline 6 M54 has been a proven all time favourite in many aspects including FC, best of all is its pulling power. Now, if this is your second car and you are looking for some serious fun, whack the 1jz in it, its a diff league all together, still taboo to some fanatics. Stock standard will Give you the thrill you want. But i cannot promise u it will be cheaper to maintain, coz if you get addicted to the turbo snails, upgrading will neva end! Do some research bro, even in bmwcm, there are 2 separate threads discussing extensively on E34 n E36 jz machines. Haha i fell in one of those traps .... Good luck. In terms of cost to transplant, you are surely paying more for the M54. Half cut plus installation and all should be near 15k. 1jz should be around $10k. [/QUOTE]
