    E30-M30 Engine Swap - Complete (Northwest Arkansas)

    Hello R3V! The time has come for my swap setup to move on to someone else for additional love! The setup ran very well and I feel as though I speak on the behalf of anyone who's driven anything with an M30 that the torque is soooooo nice and feels right at home in an e30. I pulled the engine and trans because I'm turning to the dark side and seeking out components for a domestic V8 swap *cough* LS *cough.*. I would really, really prefer to sell this off as a set rather than piece it out but I'm willing to make exceptions. I'm mentioning it here and I'll mention it at the end of the post again but I'm located in Northwest Arkansas and I don't have any way to ship something this large. What I've got is a hoist, though, so we'll be able to get it into the back of a truck or onto a trailer!

    -M30B35 from a 1992 735i. The donor car was an automatic and the engine had about 210,000 miles when pulled. Didn't do a complete rebuild but did compression test on all cylinders, replaced all freeze plugs, water pump, oil pan and valve cover gaskets, and secured the oil rail bolts with the drilled-bolt head and wire kit. I've included a link to a video of it starting and running before I pulled the engine (https://youtu.be/mAuNrtcrVBA).

    -Getrag 260/6 (5-speed manual)

    -E34 535i OEM clutch, pressure plate, and dual-mass flywheel

    -Brand new factory e30 driveshaft, guibo (e34), and adapter plate

    -Garagistic motor mounts for M30 to e30

    -Condor Speed Shop poly motor bushings

    -Radiator (Nissens Part # 60602A)

    -Coolant reservoir

    -Can include e34 ECU and wiring harness, just haven’t completely removed from car yet.

    Per forum rules I know I need to list a price and from what I've been able to see online for everything I feel like somewhere around $2,500 is a fair place to start (but please help me manage my expectations if that seems off!)

    I'm located in Northwest Arkansas (Cave Springs, Arkansas, to be more precise) and have NO MEANS OF SHIPPING. I'm going to try to check this listing and my PMs daily to not leave any questions/comments unanswered. Cheers!

    Bump. Happy to send additional pictures/info. I also sent an invitation to the R3V Facebook group but I'm awaiting approval and will list there when I'm able to.
