Have the above noted items still together. My coupe ran great but changed head to 1.3 motronic injection.Bottom end is the original M90 L-block. Head had been rebuilt along with the block. Carb set up for 3.5 engine-less than 2500 miles on it. Also have the original air cleaner and electronic distributor anyone interested? tried to load photos but says too large to process. -will try later [email protected] Costa Mesa CA

The four barrel Solex carburetor was installed on European 2.8 and 3.0 liter engines as well as some Mercedes Benzes of the period, replacing twin 35/40 INAT Zeniths on dual manifolds. The Solex four barrel can be found on the following Euro BMW models: E12: 525, 528, 530. E24: 628, 630, and E23: 728 and 730. An E21 320/6 may also be equipped with a version of the Solex. Neither E9 Coupes nor E3 sedans were originally equipped with a four barrel.http://www.seniorsix.org/faq/2_4bblconv.html

Adapting a square bore carb to a spread bore manifold has its drawbacks. Unless you do some serious carving in the plenum there are considerable obstacles to the mixture as it enters the manifold. Hence my choice of the spreadbore Q-jet.
