that is a good price if you can hear it running and its not mixing or making any nasty noises make sure you check fro smoke when reving

what about already out of the car? as i know of a few good ones and might buy them and sell them on? what would they fetch for engine and box (do you need an m50 box for the conversion?)

You'd probably pick up a shabby 1991/92 E36 (or E34) for about 250-400 quid and take the engine out and sell the bits :D

The engine should be smooth and roar! (love the M50 winkeye) - At least it won't rattle like a shagged vanos.
Previously owned loads of old E30s, E34s, a few E36s, E32s, E39s and an E38.

Currently in a diesel Audi - miss me old E30's....
