  • BMW 520i E34 150hp M50B20 (without VANOS) 1990-1992
    BMW 520i E34 150hp M50B20 (without VANOS) 1990-1992

    Uprated engine parts for the M50B20 six-cylinder of the BMW 520i E34, in the non-VANOS form built from 1990 to 1992. Valve timing relies on CATCAMS Sport camshafts and their mechanical cam followers, specific to this version of the block. Head sealing is handled by a COMETIC gasket, while ARP covers the three critical joints: head studs, main studs and con rod bolts. Big end and main bearings are offered in ACL Race and King Racing, from standard size to repair sizes up to +0.50mm, with the pMaxKote anti-friction coating on the King Racing range. A 1000cc Fuel Injector Clinic high impedance injector completes the fuelling.

  • BMW 520i E34 150hp M50B20TU (with VANOS) 1992-1996
    BMW 520i E34 150hp M50B20TU (with VANOS) 1992-1996

    Uprated engine parts for the M50B20TU six-cylinder of the BMW 520i E34, the VANOS version built from 1992 to 1996. The VANOS timing takes its own CATCAMS Sport camshafts and mechanical cam followers, which are not interchangeable with the earlier block. Unlike the non-VANOS page, this one also carries uprated valve springs, available in SUPERTECH and in CATCAMS. A COMETIC gasket seals the head, and ARP supplies the head studs, main studs and con rod bolts. Big end and main bearings come in ACL Race and King Racing, from standard size to +0.50mm repair sizes, and a 1000cc Fuel Injector Clinic injector covers the fuelling side.

  • BMW 525i E34 170hp M20B25 1988-1990
    BMW 525i E34 170hp M20B25 1988-1990

    The M20B25 is the only belt-driven 12-valve engine of the BMW 5 Series E34 range, and this page gathers what we hold for it. Forged pistons come in WISECO, WISECO AP and WOSSNER from 84 to 85mm and 8.8:1 to 11.6:1, with a second WISECO AP set intended for a build using the longer-stroke M20B27 crankshaft, at 8.5:1 and 10:1. ZRP forged rods measure 135mm centre to centre. The head takes SUPERTECH intake and exhaust valves, SUPERTECH 7mm collets, a COMETIC MLS gasket in 85.0mm or an ATHENA O-ring at 85.5mm, and ARP head studs. Vernier cam pulleys are available in KENT CAMS and CATCAMS.

  • BMW 525i E34 192hp M50B25 (without VANOS) 1990-1996
    BMW 525i E34 192hp M50B25 (without VANOS) 1990-1996

    Uprated engine parts for the M50B25 of the BMW 525i E34, in the non-VANOS form built from 1990 to 1996. This is the best stocked head page of the range: intake and exhaust valves in SUPERTECH and FERREA, in standard size and +1.00mm, with an Inconel option on the exhaust side, plus SUPERTECH guides, 6mm stem seals for both sides and 6mm collets. The bottom end takes WISECO and WISECO AP forged pistons from 84 to 85mm at 8.8:1 or 11:1, and ZRP rods at 135mm centre to centre. Head sealing is COMETIC MLS and MLX or ATHENA O-ring, with ARP studs and bolts throughout.

  • BMW 525i E34 192hp M50B25TU (with VANOS) 1992-1996
    BMW 525i E34 192hp M50B25TU (with VANOS) 1992-1996

    Uprated engine parts for the M50B25TU of the BMW 525i E34, the VANOS version built from 1992 to 1996. Two figures separate it from the earlier block: the ZRP forged rods measure 140mm centre to centre instead of 135mm, and the forged pistons are WISECO only, from 84 to 85mm at 8.8:1 or 11:1. The VANOS timing takes its own CATCAMS camshafts and cam followers, and this page also carries uprated valve springs in SUPERTECH and CATCAMS. The head shares the rest with its sister page: SUPERTECH and FERREA valves, guides, 6mm stem seals and collets, COMETIC or ATHENA gaskets and ARP fasteners.

  • BMW 540i E34 286hp M60B40 1992-1996
    BMW 540i E34 286hp M60B40 1992-1996

    The M60B40 is the only V8 of the BMW 5 Series E34 range, and our selection for it is deliberately narrow. Valve timing comes first: CATCAMS Sport camshafts, their mechanical cam followers and CATCAMS inner valve springs, completed by a set of dual valve springs. Head sealing is covered by an ATHENA gasket. To be clear about what this page does not carry: no forged pistons, no forged rods and no ARP fasteners are listed for this block today, unlike the six-cylinder pages of the same range. If you are building a M60B40 and need a part that is not shown here, ask us and we will source it from our suppliers.

  • BMW M5 E34 315HP S38B36 1988-1992
    BMW M5 E34 315HP S38B36 1988-1992

    Parts for the S38B36, the 3.5 litre straight six of the first BMW M5 E34, built from 1988 to 1992. WISECO forged pistons run from 94 to 95mm at 8:1, 9.4:1 and 12:1, and the ZRP forged rods use an I-beam. This is also the only one of the two M5 pages to carry the head gasket: COMETIC MLS at 95.0mm in fifteen thicknesses from 0.76 to 3.56mm, or an ATHENA O-ring at 1.30mm. The head itself is shared with the 340hp car: SUPERTECH intake and exhaust valves, guides, 7mm stem seals and collets, with CATCAMS camshafts and cam followers.

  • BMW M5 E34 340HP S38B38 1992-1995
    BMW M5 E34 340HP S38B38 1992-1995

    Parts for the S38B38, the 3.8 litre straight six of the second BMW M5 E34, built from 1992 to 1995. Three items belong to this page alone. The ZRP forged rods use an H-beam, where the 315hp car takes an I-beam. The forged pistons come in two ranges, WISECO in 95 and 95.5mm from 8.5:1 to 12:1, and JE Pistons in 95mm at 8.5:1 and 10.5:1. And ARP head studs are listed here, not on the 3.5 litre page. Everything else is shared: CATCAMS camshafts and cam followers, SUPERTECH valves, guides, 7mm stem seals and collets.
