BMW M3 S14 Engine
This S14B23 inline-four was removed from my 1989 BMW M3 and commissioned a rebuild that included boring the block to 94mm and painting the inside of the block with Glyptal. A replacement crankshaft was ground 0.010? before being installed together with new bearings, forged IE H-beam rods, Carrillo pistons, ARP hardware, and a baffled oil pan. The cylinder head was refinished, and a Cometic cylinder head gasket was fitted. New timing components include the chain, rails, tensioner, and hardware. The exhaust camshaft was replaced by a BMW Motorsports unit, and a new distributor was sourced. Also included in the sale are a wiring harness, airbox, ECU, starter, exhaust manifold, MAF, flywheel, fuel rail, fuel injectors, and more. The 2.3L BMW S14 inline-four features dual-overhead camshafts and two throttle assemblies with two butterfly plates each. The catalyst-equipped S14B23 produced 192 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque.

Thu, 09 May 2013The automobile's natural technological evolution has gone from basics like wipers and headlights to high-tech infotainment systems that map your route, locate the nearest Starbucks, report weather and traffic, and stream personal music libraries. Yet many of these systems are difficult and distracting to use. So we wondered: Of the infotainment systems out there, is there even one achieving its connectivity goals better than the rest?
Jaguar SUV: The rendering begins
Sun, 31 Jul 2011Jaguar SUV - two alternative views So we know that a Jaguar SUV is going to happen. We know because Adrian Hallmark – Jaguar’s vocal and opinionated Global Brand Director – said back in December that Jaguar “…need a crossover and we need to stop being a saloon-based company.” And although Adrian has sometimes managed to speak without engaging brain first, what he says should be taken seriously – even if there are perhaps those at JLR who would rather there was a 3 second live delay on Adrian’s musings at times. So the confirmation that an SUV or SAV or Crossover – or whatever you want to call a high-riding Jaguar – is going to happen means we can all speculate on what it will be and what it will look like.
