the zafira is the wifes, 7 seats for the kiddies (no i dont have 7 thank f@*k) and the m20 was dying (crank rumble @3500 rpm) so im afraid she will have to go! BUT, ill be putting the wheels on the 535, and either selling her for a song for someone to fix up, or (sniff) b-b-b-breaking her, as i lowered her this year 50mm at rear and 40mm at front (i dont think the kit will fit the new 1) but id rather sell it whole, she should last a year for someone! and shes road legal till september next year. ill put her in the classifieds on here for a week or 2 and try her on the bay, even though my mint e28 m5 replica i had didnt even reach £100?

Well, then be thankful to God that your engine is on its way out - now you'll atleast be driving a BMW with a REAL engine :)

I'm joking, but, I sincerely think that you'll be much more satisfied with the M30B35. M20B20 is simply too small for such a big, heavy car.
