    M50 Motor project

    Ive got a M50 motor project that I started that I think I'm ready to move on from. I started with a motor that was pulled from a 94 325i auto with 200k. I then took the motor and fully disassembled the entire thing and took the block to be checked, cleaned, and ridge reamed to have the lip removed from the top. I then got the block back and painted it with Dupicolor engine primer and semi-gloss black paint. That's about as far as the project got due to a semi-cross country move and a loss of available resources. So now I have a garage full of motor pieces and rebuild parts waiting to be used. I sourced a large number of parts for this build that would go as well.

    Piston Rings
    Main Bearing Set
    Rod Bearing Set
    Rod Bolts (53mm)
    Head Gasket Set
    Bottom End Gasket Set
    Motor Mount Left and Right (M5)
    Knock Sensors
    E34 pan
    Ebay SS Headers
    Engine Stand that the Block is on will be included
    To go with the parts that came with the motor
    OBD1 intake
    413 Red Label ECU
    Threaded Starter
    Underdrive Water pump pulley (UUC I believe)
    OBD1 engine harness that was chopped by previous owner(doing LS1 swap) at the connector to the chassis. Someone with some time would be able to make this mate to an E30 connector and have a super clean wiring setup.

    That is everything before you include the actual motor itself which was absolutely complete.
    Bought parts alone cost in the neighborhood of $1500 before you include the motor itself. I would like to get $1200 out of the complete package. Shipping would be super difficult as everything is in pieces, though could be arranged if buyer wanted to put the money into that. All offers will be considered though if it doesn't sell I might just have to restart the swap project for myself again another day. Feel free to ask any and all questions and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

      It has the pan, pickup, dipstick tube, motor mounts, and motor mount arms. The wiring harness can be used but will require some work. It does not have a trans mount, brake booster, or throttle cable.

          At this point I'm trying to avoid the part out. I don't want to be left with a handful of random parts that I can't put together into anything. If I do get to the point where I am willing to part out I'll be sure to send you a message.

          Something I just remembered, I have a set of pink top (21.5lb I believe) injectors with this motor, not the normal green top(19lb).
