Make you sick dont they? There I was looking for a head for the 320 so I could have a play and keep mine on the road and they only had 325's in and wanted Ԛ£250 for a basic engine, just happens I spotted an MTEC 2 wheel, and after asking for it they gladly took it off for me, me being a hapless public AHEM, (VW and Audi mech for years) and then charged me a grand total of.......

Ԛ£20, yup for engines couldnt get rid of them but a rare as buggery wheel and they let it go soooooo cheap, well bout time I got one back. Chuffed to buggery.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE.

to be honest. the bubble has burst on the m-tech 2 wheels. normally can be found on ebay for Ԛ£50 or less now.

good price none the less.

swindy. what do you value the 2.5 engine at? i part these out for Ԛ£300+ so would say that Ԛ£250 is a good price!

Well would you fork out Ԛ£250 for an fngine that has sat in an open yard with no protection and every man and his dog has had a poke at? On top of that you cant hear it run? I dont know, I personally wouldnt, if I heard it and it sounded sweet then yes I would, but you could spend that again just reconing it, is it worth it, I gotta think two ways. If you put your word to your engines then fair play.

Got to agree, there can be nothing worse than humping a great lump out of a car & replacing it it with something equally as bad I like to know what i'm getting ps Cheers Jon hope to have mine changed before to long

ICV yes, as long as it's the same shape ( L type and T type) AFM no, won't work on a 325i.

Sneaky bugger, got to admitt I have sneaked a few items out in my time but not that much, they to make some sort of living. Shame really. I could gutt the 325 H reg in my scrappers, couple of bits missing but hey it was a minter, drove in because of NO TAX!!! did sound mint, but wasnt in the market for a 325 engine at the time, ah well hind sight eh?

MERRY CHRISTMAS
