if its cheaaaaaaaaaap then maybe worth the risk

me, I'd go for a complete if tatty but running M5, then you'll have all the required parts, there's a lot to be said for an engine you can hear run and feel go

Fowler and M5Pilot both have strong 3.6 M5's for slae @ the moment

me..... I'd leave the M20 in there and strap some wrongness to the exhaust manifold :lol:

Hi

Have a 3.8 M5 coming in to be broken unless get a sensible offer for the car...it runs but have offers on gearbox and diff at moment

Best offer for the car was £1500...will let you know if break and then engine is available
