WTB: bmw motor
 

the only motors i have found to swap in are from the states and it would cost me about 550 us to ship it up here, and thats with an auto tranny :(

so im looking for a motor, bare minimum of an e30 \'i\' motor m20b25 i think the code is.

thanks all

cheers,

Dill


i want my bmw back on the road, help a buddy out :drive2

good luck with ure search! what happened to your previous M20?

oh its still in the car, its got some bad compression numbers and cyl 5 is way too low, i dont drive the car daily so its just sitting waiting for a motor.

check out the classifieds on maxbimmer.com, most of the guys are in ontario and iv seen quite a few engine like m50\'s and m20\'s on that site for sale

what would you guys pay for an m50?

where can i find specs on all these motors?
thanks for the quick replys guys

M50>m52 & M20 :D

its the m50 for sale on e30tech.com

its out of a 325 though, not a 5 series so i cant find specs

^they should be the same specs, same engine.

is it 150 hp or 192 hp?

edit: woo oilers!

the 2.0 liter was 150hp, the 2.5 was 189. i dont know about canada, but the 2.0 wasnt sold in the states.

the M52 was 190hp, but u said it was an M50, right?

yeah its a us motor though,

its this one

The m50 is the same motor in the 5 series and the 3 sereis, but only if the 5er is a 92 + 525i

lol its a 1994 motor, so i dont know what the numbers are on it

the lowest he will go is 1300 us shipped

which is like 1450 canadian

do you guys think its worth it?
