    Its no that much different than standard ;-)

    Anyway like those bmws are standard, engine wise, anyway. Probably running diffirent manifolds and cams at the least.

    I know what to do to bmws do to get more power.

    You'd be surprised how much more i can get out of my 540, just by fitting the intake manifolds off the earlier M62 V8.

    Its probably harder to tell on NA engines when they have small mods.

    Wouldn't surprise me if they had a few alpina type tricks on them i.e different crank, mahle pistons, etc.

    and the old 325s are probably 327s. (325/525E[2.7] block with the 2.5 head)

    I know plenty of theoretical stuff about them, my dad had a modded e28 525e and then an e32 735 with a few bits done to it, but its mostly just what my mates at my bmw independent have told me. Its them that you'd want with you, what they don't know about bmws aint worth knowing.
