180k is a lot of miles when all you need is the bottom end?

Would expect that the crank will need a grind,new shells,new rings....but the diff will sell to someone doing an M30 swap or possibly to someone doing M50/E34/E36 gearbox....no more than £150 IMO.

My mate got a nice clean one of these with T+T for £300.

As said the one in the link is worth £150-£200 tops but id want a good poke around the engine before I parted with any pennies.
