 BMW World - BMW M88 Engine
The M88 was based on the M49 engine used in the BMW 3.0CSi.
The M88 produced 277 bhp in the version built from 1978 to 1981 for the BMW M1.
From 1985 to 1987 the M88 was used in the 5 Series M5 Sedan and from 1983 to 1989 in the 6 Series M635CSi Coupe.

 BMW M Registry - FAQ E23 745i SA (M88)
The most likely explanation is that the M88 powerplant, developed originally for the M1 sports car, is a fairly noisy unit that develops its peak power at a relatively high engine speed.
The M88 engine in the South African 745i is an evolution of the 24-valve inline-six developed for the mid-engine M1 supercar and is identical to the unit used in the non-catalyst versions of the E24 M635CSi and E28 M5.
It is worth noting that the M88 engines fitted to early examples of the South African 745i are simply inscribed "BMW" on their cam cover in place of the later "M Power" designation shared with the E24 M635CSi and E28 M5.

 BMW E26 M1
BMW then began a most complicated assembly procedure with M1's being worked on in various stages at Marchesi in Modena, Ital Design in Turin and Baur in Stuttgart.
The M1’s engine was derived from BMW's Typ M88 unit as used in the immortal Group 2 CSL Batmobile's throughout much of the seventies.
Although retaining some traditional BMW styling cues, the E26 was a complete departure from any of the marque’s previous road cars, prominent features at the front seeing large retractable headlights (used for the first time on a BMW) integrated with trademark kidney grilles.

 BMW M Registry - FAQ E28 M5
BMW Motorsport built four different versions of the E28 M5, three at the M works in Garching, Germany (European-spec in left-hand drive and right-hand drive, plus the North American version) and a South African-spec model for the home market assembled from Complete Knock Down (CKD) kits.
The M88 and S38 engines are evolutions of the 24-valve inline-six developed for the mid-engine M1 supercar.
Because the intention of BMW Motorsport was to hide the performance capabilities of the M5 within a standard-looking 5 Series body, there are few external items that differentiate the European-spec E28 M5 from any other E28 sedan.

BMW initially offered the Evolution M3's with a valve cover and plenum painted white with Motorsport stripes.
These were manufactured by various vendors for BMW, all with one recurring flaw, they turned yellow with heat and age.
They were also sold separately for a short time by BMW but at a high price, since you were purchasing both a new valve cover and plenum PLUS the special paint job.

This was back in the days before BMW "M," when the soft-of-buttock need not apply; M cars were serious cars for serious drivers.
The company is legendary for taking BMWs to the next level of performance, and in the 1980s personally imported Hartge cars represented a huge opportunity for American driving enthusiasts.

 Changing Primary Timing Chain Tensioner For a 95 E36 M3
The VANOS is often thought to be the culprit (and many dealers and mechanics will insist that this is the problem) but in most cases with the above symptoms it's the primary timing chain tensioner going bad.
BMW obviously realized this and sometime ago changed the design of the tensioner.
For all early BMW Motorsport engines, BMW used the same tensioner.
