    M52TU Aluminum block engine- $1950 (blown head gasket) NC

    I've got a complete M52TU from a '99 528i- aluminum block and head, double vanos. I bought this to fix and swap into an E30, but have since found an S50.

    Engine was pulled from a '99 528i at ~130k due to blown head gasket. I have not done any further diagnosis to confirm that this was the problem, but this is what the shop that replaced the engine told the owner. Engine is complete with most accessories but no DME. See pics for an idea of exactly what is included.


    Asking $1950 + shipping. Located near Raleigh, NC- local pickup welcome.

    Please do not ask me for shipping quote, I will be glad to strap this to a pallet and drop it off at any local (Raleigh/Durham, NC area) trucking or shipping company, but you will need to make the arrangements with the shipping/trucking company.


    AFAIK, this block is NOT compatible with the M/S 50/52 head (coolant passages do not line up), BUT the internals are a nice upgrade and drop right in- forged crank and coated pistons.

            with blown head gasket? I thought the Alum. can get soft with blown head gaskets and not hold up.... The dealer local told me that... they have a ton of bad blocks from switching out them from blown head gaskets...
            Those that think they are, are not as they really are...

              Bump.

              $1200 + shipping takes it.

              I recently got a shipping quote of ~$375 to ship this to CA.

              Someone needs this!! ;)
