£2k is a fair whack for an M30, but it is quite an M30 if its Andys old one.
As with every conversion though, people will always think they can build it themselves cheaper... but considering what's included (Alpina spec donk, Emerald, LSD etc etc), you won't be building the same for £2k!

If I was thinking of an M30 conversion, I'd be looking at buying this - other than the sensible 'while the engine is on the floor jobs' (cambelt, waterpump, clutch etc), its built, ready to bolt in and drive 8)

I would sell the diff separately and price the engine conversion kit at £1500. That should see it gone.
