Right... I have a e30 m3 with a s50b32 with the 6 speed gearbox fitted in there. I have sourced the original engine and box, so now want to sell the one that is in there. I have no idea on what it is worth as a complete conversion or if I should sell separately. Can any help on what I should do or if anyone would be interested.

I just didn’t want to take it out in case someone wanted to hear it running

You could always take a video of it running in situ and driving (to show the gearbox, etc. work), then remove it...

As a full plug in option (everything needed for someone to just install to an e30), the S50 will be worth a lot. There was a full set up for sale on here a while ago for £9000 iirc.

Here is a current advert on eBay. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 3408673405

I would definitely recommend you get video of the engine running and some of the car being put through its paces to go with it. Also, obviously all the service history for the engine.

Good luck.
