Hi, Derek and welcome to the forum. You have a good looking car there. About 90% of the forum members, however, are from the UK and use right hand drive cars. There are several members in the US and Canada but we are spread out all over the place. There are many visitors to the forum whose attention you might attract with your ad. You don't have many miles on the car for the year which is a plus. It will probably be difficult getting your asking price with an R title. The repairs might have been relatively minor but people often shy away from them because they are afraid of what problems they might inherit. I do wish you luck with your sale. Your timing is perfect as summer is around the corner. Frankie

Were these limited in the USA? should be 316 BHP?

S52 engine Jim

As Swamper says...

The North American version of the car used the 3.2l S52B32 engine, whilst the rest of the world received the more powerful 3.2 l S50B32 variant.

It was due to strict emissions control in the US

• 321 hp (DIN) at 7,400rpm and 258 lb/ft of torque at 3,250 rpm
• Double VANOS continuously variable valve timing on both INTAKE & EXHAUST strokes
• Bore of 86.4mm & Stroke of 91mm, the S50 B32 ; Displacement 3201cc.
• Lightweight pistons , Dual-mass flywheel , Larger inlet valves then S52 , Second oil pump
• Compression ratio to 11.3 :1
• Individual throttle plates for each cylinder & Graphite-coated conrods
• Can be identified by the "BMW M Power" inscription on its cam cover
• Advanced BMW/Siemens MSS50 engine management

S52 North American-specification ( 1997 - 2001 )

• This engine was rated at 240 (SAE) @ 6000 rpm & 236 lb/ft of @ 3800 rpm. (1 bhp is 0,96 SAE hp => 250 BHp)
• 6-cylinder with a cast iron block, aluminum head and 24 valves

• 325 HP DIN @ 7400 rpms & 261 lb/ft of torque @ 4900 rpm. ( USA = 320 HP DIN )
• The small loss in power can be attributed to the more restrictive placement of the catalysts on North American-spec cars in order to improve cold-start emissions
• High pressure Double VANOS continuously variable valve timing system with faster operation at high rpm
• Bore of 87mm & Stroke of 91mm : Displacement : 3246cc
• Modified camshafts
• Compression to 11.5 :1
