Hey guys, haven't been here in a while and I'm not sure where to put this. If it's in the wrong place I'm sorry.

I found an engine I want in Belfast, and I've been emailing the guy for a few weeks now. Time came to pay and all he will take is a bank transfer. I'm not sure if this is a common way of paying over there, but I'm not comfortable with sending a few thousand to someone I don't know and can't get to.

I'm looking for someone to go check the engine out for me, make sure everything is legit and all. I'll be happy to compensate you for your time.

Thanks guys
-Byron

Babs is from that neck of the woods, but based on the state of his sport I wouldn't be trusting him to do an inspection :D

if the engine in question was one of a few advertised on FB then it could be either a S50 that keeps popping up or an S38b36 thats been put up for £2000.

either way i'd be very careful.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

I'd be weary, 95% of e36 m3's are and were heavily abused here.

Fair point.


OP, what is the seller's name?
