BMW called M30 engines as "Big Six" (M20, just like mine is "Little Six"). This page is about an M30B34 turbo engine, originally in a 745i from 1985.
It's not a weak car even it's stock form (3.5 Turbo, automatic),
but this engine will go into a light chassis (e30), with manual gearbox and possibly motor tuning, more efficient turbo design, etc.
Here I try to put together what's needed to GenBoard it :)
