S50b32 321hp Euro m3 motor -$5000

[noid]

Having lived in england a few years back I have made connections there. It seems one of my old mates has a s50b32 that he no longer has a use for as his plans for a track car have changed (note the engine has never been put into any other car has only been taken out of the m3).

With the engine you get all of the accessories, Manifolds, mass airflow, Air filter box, Oil cooler and lines, All pipes, Fuel pipes, Starter motor, Alternator, Coil packs, Aircon Pump, Air Pump, all belts, full engine loom, ECU, EWS and chip for key, Flywheel and clutch, exhaust manifolds, throttal bodies and plenum.

The mileage on the engine is 120,000 and comes with service history!

You have to worry about nothing apart from picking it up from my house in Burlington Ontario once it gets here. I will take care of everything. All you have to do is wait roughly a month for it to come. Or alternatively if you live in another province or the states we have two options:

Option one: I can forward it directly to you from England (included in price), or I can get it here and ground freight it to you (+freight price).

Price - 5000

Edit: Would also entertain trades for an e30, can be a 318i, 325e,325i doesn't matter as long as the shell has ABSOLUTELY AND COMPLETELY no rust.

Pictures are never pointless. I'd sure want to see pictures before I kissed my 5 grand goodbye.

As requested: this is the actual engine.

Are compression numbers available with the service maintanance?

[noid]

Yes I will try to find out the compression numbers and include them.

one thing that you are not mentioning is that the easiest way to get this motor into this country is driving into Canada and installing it in the car then drive it back into the country...
Complete motors are just like cars here in the US,
Customs will ask if this motor was available here, if you lie and say yes,
you are taking a chance because if they run the VIN then they will confiscate it for lying....
you can say it is for racing purposes but they tend to not believe it,,,
if you seperate the top end from the bottom end,
you stand a better chance getting it in but pay for twice the shipping...
it's not just a ship it to me process,
there is customs, a broker agent, and taxes involved all with seperate fees....
the fool proof way is to drive across and install it,
the second is driving across and pick it up and hope that the agents at the border don't ask,
the third is seperating it and shipping it in two different containers at two different times..
US is tough on this type stuff...
some make it through, some don't and that needs to be mentioned...
Research it....

Nonroad Engines
The EPA Standard Form 3520-21 (PDF) (4 pp, 96K, January 2010) is a declaration form used to import all types of nonroad engines and heavy-duty highway engines into the United States. This form also applies for engines already installed in vehicles or equipment.
Note: This form can be filled out electronically, except for the signature, using Adobe Acrobat Reader. Also, highlighted regulatory cites in the form are linked directly to the daily online CFR.

Vehicle Requirements and non road engines are different. I dont see the need to lie about anything, you fill out the form, pay any broker fees/taxes, and your set.

so you are not going to run it on the road?

so you are not going to run it on the road?

If your putting it into a us vehicle you can be exempt under:

16. Partially complete engine. Importing an engine not yet in its final configuration covered by a certificate of conformity (or an engine that will be installed in a verhicle covered by a certificate of conformity), or importing an engine that will be installed in an application not yet subject to EPA emission standards (see Code 17), subject to the provisions of 40 CFR 1068.325(g). This also applies to an engine covered by a valid exemption. A certifacte holder may also import a partially complete engine from its foreign facility to its us facility as described in 40 CFR 1068.325(g).

More over if you want to import for track use you can do that also. I dont see why they would "believe it" if you indicate its for track use on the form its for track use.

I had no problems importing a U.S. spec s52 from the U.S. into Canada. I really do not understand what you think the problem is BDK you will have to pay duties on it obviously but why do you think it is such a problem?

Canada is substantially more relaxed in it's laws on importing things like this. That's why Canada is a common half-way point for importing cars, motors, and other awesome things from other countries. Of course it was simple for you to take a US motor back to Canada. But the opposite would not be so easy.

FWIW,
and I know that very few of you know who I am or was when it comes to Euro parts, but pre-911, I was bringing in more toys than you know boys.
in 2000, I brought in a total of 39,000lbs of parts from Germany, Italy, France and UK...
from these Motors to E28 Mtech kits, to S38B38 to a dozen hardtops and everything and anything, I pretty much had it at one time...
I have supplied many of the SE engine builders (at that time) with the euro b32's either directly or indirectly..as well as some cali builder's....
I was a known shipper and had it worked out...
I had one of the first if not the first IX tourings stateside...

you will be just a new shipper....

Partially complete engine. Importing an engine not yet in its final configuration

that's what I said,
separate the top end from the bottom end and ship it in two different containers and you can meet this criteria as I said before...

why wouldn't they believe you?
why do they search your car at the border?
because they don't believe you, it's their job not to believe you, think about it...

I quit bringing parts in because shipping tripled after 911 and it became troublesome...
car parts especially motors are good places to hide bomb materials and my loads started to be xrayed which would cost me an additional $350...
your's might too who knows...
do what you want,
I don't care but if you think that is as easy as shipping a steering wheel your nuts......
this is real money not $100, and all the facts and all the risk need to be on the table when you enter into this "deal"....
I have seen known Service shops get motors hung up in customs because customs didn't believe they wouldn't drive it on the street...
like I said do as you want but don't be naive about what you are doing....
best bet, import to Canada then into the US, that would be the safest IMO...

[Adrian_Visser]

Well I stand corrected, pardon me for my ignorance.

[noid]

Whatever the case may be I am more then willing to accommodate buyer's requirements for shipping.

[BDK]

if it were me and I had to have one,
I would ship it to Canada whole,
seperate it there and ship/drive it into the US in two containers...
