My only beef with the M20 is the sewing machine noise it produces.

Having said that, I'd love a charged S5x/M5x in my e30 for some tire spinning fun.
The sewing machine sound is caused by either valves needing adjustment, or the lifters are worn. BTW, the white E30 in your signature looks sweet! I had an '89 E30 325is in red/tan interior combo. I still miss that car to this day.
