M20’s are super reliable, and the b27 in yours will probably never die.

@@DatBimmerGuy so long as i fix the problems it has now. im the first driver since 1999, so it has ALOT of minor problems.

Timing belt advice spot on but the tensioner pulley and water pump should always be done at this time.

I would add one thing, the water pumps on the M20 are behind the timing belt and they are fairly inexpensive so if you replace them every other timing belt change you will save yourself from a really bad day later on.

100% correct. I guess I forgot to add that little bit in there. And pumps are usually due about the same time as the belt itself anyway🤷‍♂️

There was actually a recall for this exact issue. BMW still services the E30 and would do so if you took it in.

With m20 engine. How it feels when you drive it. I would love to know? ❤bimmer 😊😅😂
