Hi looking for advice on if this is worth it.
I know of someone breaking a e30 m52b28 and said I can have the complete engine box prop loom ect for m52 plug and play pretty much. How much would this cost normally, he said the lot for 1250 and it is a tidy install and all original gushes work. Just not sure if this is a decent price or not. Cheers

I'll post pics later when I next see it. But I know the loom was done by you (Danthe) and the engine is 70k. All I want to know is wether it's cheap, reasonable or expensive. I'll be helping removal and refitting it myself.

My conversion probably cost 2 grand, so I'd say that was a good price for a low mileage set up.

+1, sounds like a fair price to me, particularly if exhaust & diff are included too.

Also it'll save you a lot of time and hassle, took me many weekends to get mine sorted. I'd jump at it personally.
