So BMW drops a bomb called N20B20 : a 2.0l T engine producing 245hp. Since I've read it my concern about my w203 M111 E20 ML Evo has dramatically increased! Studying and studying how could I possibly overcome this monster I concluded :

the eaton m45 3rd gen which is used on this engine has a maximum performance at 14000rpms. Im currently running a 230mm crank pulley so i could get my sc pulley shrinked down to 87/88mm so as to succeed a hp increase while not surpassing sc's 14000rpms on 5300 engine rpms!

the formula is : crank pulley / sc pulley * 5300 = sc 14000rpms

the BMW guys will look at ur car and goes like

btw at that rpm how much power you get to the tranny? and after tranny to the wheels?

This is why bmw is so fast - not only because of its hp/tq but the way its power is being distributed. w203s engine-to-wheels system is a bit sluggish

After a detailed-checkup I found out that the bmw engine's oil pan is plastic!!!!! LOL I wouldnt trust such engine for all the hp in the world

Plastic impellers on water pumps too.
They disintegrate, clog the rad, and cause the car to overheat, at least back in the day, one reason I went to benz and not bmw.
Had a 320i. That was a reliable car.

a m111 have a m62.
I have put a 230K in my 190E with a 75mm pulley
I got 223hk & 360nm. With E85 I got 230hk & 375nm

Some M111 HAD M62.
W203's with M111 have M45, and late R170 SL230K's also had
M45.
Check out Subby on R170 benzworld forum for a hot M62 M111 powered car, with both pullies replaced and ported SC + other stuff.
E85 got more power? Interesting. Mine isn't set up to run that.

my hp are on the wheels, so about 255hp in the ebgine and about 270hp undrer good condition and E85.
