Hi guys, wheres the best place to get a S50 M3 engine and loom?

Any good breakers in the essex area?
Or any specialists that sell recon engines?
What sort of prices will i be looking at?

Cheers for any help.

Can't remember the name of the place but will have a look later but it is a just Bmw's and they quoted me Ԛ£2500 for the engine, loom and all the excessesories to get the engine running and Ԛ£700 for the 6 speed gearbox.

P.s Try Google with, "Bmw Scrapyard's", i think that's what i done :D

I got my 3.0ltr from BM Bits Canvey Island.

Engine, loom, ECUs, 5spd gearbox, clocks, prop, diff and some other bits for well less than Ԛ£2k.
