Nice E36. I'm not in tampa anymore (moved to Jax) but i did notice that baybimmers went down. If you wanna make some descent power out of that M44 go with the downing atlanta supercharger kit. It's around 1500-2k and makes like 210hp iirc.
Another option is to swap in a M52 and convert to OBD1 with M3 cams, euro maf, injectors, tune, etc. Or just go S50/S52. Either setup is alot of fun
and here is a shot of my 92 325
