OK I've decided to part out this engine versus rebuilding it. I've had it in the garage on the stand now for probably 2 years, it was pulled from a non-running 92 525i with ~190k miles. I ran a leak down test and the intake valves are leaking, and the rings on 2 cylinders. So at the very least the head needs rebuilt, could just need a valve grind. All parts are up for sale, about the only things missing are the coil packs and throttle position switch. I've got the wiring harness, ecu, maf, and all the other electronics.
Here are some pics of the engine

Here are a few prices for the larger items
m50 swap oil pan, pump pickup and dipstick tube-$350 shipped
Wiring harness-sold
Red label ecu-sold
Maf sensor-$35
M50 obd1 intake manifold-$130
Everything is for sale so just ask about a particular part and I'll get you a price.
