Hi,

I'm just wondering whether anyone knows where I can source an E34 engine?

Any breakers etc?


Thanks :D

Best way is to trawl fleabay and buy a complete car,that way you get to drive it home...so you know the thing starts and runs properly,frankly,I would be wary of buying a lateish E34 with EWS,caused me no end of pain... I paid £350 for a complete,running car BTW.

Someone was posting the other day about an M50 from an E34 touring,problems sealing a spare pressure take off point on the steering pump,may be as well to swerve one from a touring.The extra take off was for the self leveling rear suspension.
