      facts of potential interest:

      m54b30    HP: 228 hp @ 5900    TQ: 221 lb·ft @ 3500
      S52B32    HP: 240 hp @ 6000    TQ: 240 lb·ft @ 3800

      s52 makes 5.3% more horsepowers and 8.6% more torques

      cost 100-200% or more dollars? 😕

        If all you're doing is looking at those figures then you're missing the point of the s52.  That'd be the same as comparing an s54 and n54 and declaring the n54 a better engine.

            Now place those 2 cars on a race track and tell me who wins.  Or drive them side by side and tell me which is better.  This has been played out over and over and it's always the same conclusion, M cars trump non-m cars.

                I was watching them race side by side. The 330ci's were walking all over the e36 m3's and it had me quite surprised

                                My son got his first BMW for christmas from my Father in Law.  It looks like n54's run in the family.

                                      I had a scan tool manufacturer tell me that Taiwanese made SD cards do no work in their scan tools, only Chinese made SD cards.   We tested this theory and sure as shit, the Taiwanese SD cards wouldn't work.  Has anyone heard of this?

                                        I had a scan tool manufacturer tell me that Taiwanese made SD cards do no work in their scan tools, only Chinese made SD cards.   We tested this theory and sure as shit, the Taiwanese SD cards wouldn't work.  Has anyone heard of this?

                                        i don't know why they are butt-hurt about Taiwanese cards, but SD cards definitely carry manufacturer, serial number, etc in their memory. i've heard of certain cards not working in certain digital cameras, but manufacturer origin isn't the reason, afaik.

                                          I'd agree, it should be manufacturer specific as in something in the bios
