    FS in MA: S50 US engine, ~145k miles

    Preference given to local buyers who can pick up.




    I have a 1995 S50US B30 engine up for sale with some swap parts and the 24lb injector/3.5 HFM power package. $2800 It is currently installed in an E30, but can be easily removed should you want to buy it soon.

    The last mileage recorded by C a r f a x is 125,194 in 3/2004. I bought the engine from an M3 owner in upstate NY in April 2006. At the time I talked to him, he said he put 20K miles on it after he purchased the car. So, the total mileage at the time of the swap was roughly 145K. The top end was extremely clean and the cams showed no real scoring like some S50 US engines that have been run hard. The engine was from an automatic car.

    I ran this engine for 13K miles. It now should have around 158K miles on it.

    The VIN is WBSBF0320SEN91045. I have the CF that I ran prior to buying the engine. Just email me and I can get you the document.

    Maintenance:
    When I did the swap, prior to dropping the engine into the car, I installed new valve spring retainers. I R&R'd the valve spring retainers with new pieces I ordered from Circle BMW, as well as the valve keepers.

    The following parts were also replaced at the time of the swap:
    Valve cover gasket, spark plug well gaskets, valve cover grommets
    Genuine BMW composite blade water pump
    75 degree thermostat
    Ronak aluminum thermostat housing
    Intake manifold gaskets
    Throttle body gasket
    Exhaust gaskets
    NGK spark plugs
    Oil pump nut secured with drilled oil pump nut and safety wire, and Red Loctited for extra insurance.

    All coolant hoses, including the $70 spider hose.

    S52 timing chain tensioner was installed 33K miles ago, by previous owner.

    The Vanos was rebuilt with the Beisan Systems gasket around 1500 miles ago.

    Compression Test, cold:
    Compression test performed 12/10/2007. THIS IS OLD INFO. I WILL UPDATE SOON.

    Procedure:
    Start car, idle for 2 minutes. Remove E30 fuse 11 (injection electronics). Remove coils and all 6 spark plugs. Insert compression tester into sparkplug hole. Crank car four times, read gauge. Some comp tests usually crank the engine 8 times or so. This is not really an accurate representation of engine health. The readings should stop changing after around 5-6 cranks.

    Results:
    Cylinder 1: 180
    Cylinder 2: 185
    Cylinder 3: 190
    Cylinder 4: 185
    Cylinder 5: 190
    Cylinder 6: 180

    Interpretation:
    Even compression across all cylinders, even when engine is cold.

    What is Included:
    Longblock
    Silver label 413 DME with TMS EWS delete chip, 24lb/hr inj, Euro HFM, and said parts (inj, HFM)
    E34 525i oilpan (E30 swap), pickup tube, dipstick tube and dipstick
    Maintenance parts as described above
    Fuel injection system (manifold, TB, fuel rail with 24 lb injectors)
    Dual mass flywheel, throwout bearing, clutch disc, pressure plate. Clutch is 13K miles old
    Complete wiring harness, uncut and attached to all sensors, ready to plug into a 318is or a late model 325i (airbag car).
    Accessories (alternator, power steering pump)
    Exhaust manifolds, E36 downpipe to 2.5" 200 cpsi Arvin Meritor Metalcat. You must figure out the rest of the exhaust)
    Bimmerworld 3.5" silicone intake boot, K&N air filter
    A1 Cardone E21 320i brake booster, new at time of swap, modified for the E30.
    E34 throttle cable
    E28 M5 hex engine mounts, few thousand miles old (installed in July)

    Transmission and driveshaft are not included.

    Damn , I really need to think about selling off some of my stuff .


    Fred , shifting your focus towards something with a bit more displacement and a few more throttle bodies ? ;)

        Nah, I'm shifting focus towards going slower, maybe doing some HDPEs and Auto-Xs next season. :mrgreen:

                This engine will be up for sale very soon.

                It now has around 158K miles.

                I am willing to deliver within a 300 mile radius of Massachusetts, or thereabouts, for $160.

                  Fred is legit for anyone that isn't already aware. He delivered an m50 plus a boatload of goodies to NJ for me a couple of years ago.
