    M50 tuning advice

    Hello everyone,
    I have recently acquired a m50b25nv engine from a 92’ 325i, with 73k miles (according to the previous owner). Said owner then did a complete rebuild of the engine with a decked head, .120 mls head gasket and some arp head studs. What I’m curious about is with this bigger head gasket will I need to up the fueling to get the afr right or will the stock ecu/injectors be able to handle that minor of a change? Any advice would be appreciated

    I'd say that the few dozen cc that you picked up in engine displacement will not do anything significant to your fueling needs.

    .120 MLS is most commonly used to lower compression for forced induction.
