[emdog16]

urgh... i want this

[tonybtonyb]

You can have it

[Kos]

needs a lot of work to get it running and driving

[mattrs]

Surely if your going to do it its all about the 4litre or better still the later 4.4!?

[Kos]

yep, thats very true but the 3.0's are cheaper

the car isnt worth more that the value of the gear box and a possible clean shell

[e30-EVN]

I was thinking the same?? 3.0 v8,, I thought that was a typo , what car were they found in, or are they ancient lumps?

[harry_p]

e34 530 had a 3.0 v8 at some point.

is the 3.0 lump physically the same size as the 4.0? if so, you could always just use the cheapy 3 to get the conversion up and running and iron out any niggles whilst building up a 4.0 to swap in when the time is right

[mattrs]

e30-dk, probably e34 or e39 530i's

Harry_p, I would think almost certainly that there only different internally so not a bad idea that!

Still needs work though.... I wonder how much he'd come down

[e30-EVN]

Yeah true, odd size engine mind isn't it. 3.0 v8

[dan-t-man]

only 3.0 litre and too many doors

[e30-EVN]

Nothing wrong with extra doors!! On a nice looking car of course

[mattrs]

The more I think about it the small v8 in an e39 was a 3.5 iirc so must be an m60 out of a e34! Probably barely 200 ponies not worth it at all imho!

[The_Haywood]

only 3.0 litre and too many doors

more doors = more whores

[mattrs]

lol

[pacerpete]

All I can see is a gearbox and £160 per ton for the rest ......

[bmw320iSE]

only 3.0 litre and too many doors

more doors = more whores

Would be funny though if it was finished and kept the hubbys on it and standard 318 trim

cha ching!

[coolbenz21]

Shame its not a 2 door. Or i would try and get it.

[mattrs]

If the guys realistic and lets it go for what its really worth, then don't let the doors put you off too much!
