=== M20 - e2i Conversion ===
The '''M20 "e2i" conversion''' is a popular modification for BMW enthusiasts seeking to enhance the performance of the M20B27 engine found in "eta" models by integrating components from the higher-revving M20B25 "i" engine. This conversion combines the torque-rich characteristics of the eta engine with the improved airflow and higher RPM capabilities of the "i" engine.
 
See [[M20 - e2i Conversion]].
