S14, S50, M50, M44, S62 are all types of BMW engines.
Z20LET, C20LET, X14XE, Z18XE, etc etc are types of engines as well.

E30LET is not

E30LET implies that it would be a 3.0L, the picture shows a 4 cylinder.

But that head doesn't look big enough to support a 3.0L and I dont think I've ever seen a 3.0L 4 Cyl petrol engine before.

arhh...I'm more confused now than what I was when I started.:(

Maybe there is something in the name...E30, thats a model of BMW isn't it.

Why you would ripped out the beautiful M5 6 cylinder engine to whack in a 4 cylinder engine baffles me

Unless.... what they are really talking about is a first series M3 with originally has a 2.3-2.5L 4 cylinder engine.
