m30 3.5 86, plus automatic transmission and other e28 parts

[Gloomster]

I have an engine pulled from an 86 535i with 200k or so on it and in perfect working condition. I also have an automatic transmission plus lots of other stuff from the car for sale. I am in Orange, CA. Asking $375 for the engine, let me know if you have any questions.

Paging kronus, or maybe me.

[kronus]

Oh god I wish I had the money for this right now.


Would you take a <140K eta motor + G260 as a partial trade?

[kronus]

BTW, that's an M30B34, it's not 3.5L as far as I know.

Does it come wiht all the shit necessary for the swap? if so... You may have a buyer

You'll need an E34 oil pan, proper transmission, ECU, mounts, etc.



Heavily considering this. I wish it was a B35, but hey, beggars can't be choosers.

hmm. Maybe.. I just wouldn't want to get killed on the cost for all the other stuff..

If you are worried about the cost of "other" things..just wait on it. Sorry to the OP (I know you want to sell it) but nothing goes to plan but it is fun when its done. Mine has taken about 2 years, because of budget reasons, to complete and I'm just getting everything tied up

Yeah... Thats why i was hoping it was complete, so me and a friend could knock it out over a summer break :D

Well, you'll need mounts, which are >$200 from Funk. (or weld up your own)

A 5-speed that fits the M30 (G265, hard to find and pretty expensive)

E32/E34 oil pan

bunch of modification for the shifter linkage, IIRC.

so look at about $1000 over the cost of the motor

Yeah, i was looking into it.

All yours

[Gloomster]

Yeah, it is a 3.4, my mind just goes to 3.5 because of the naming. I do have the ecu for the car, and the engine is complete. I do also have an early e28 manual transmission without the detachable bellhousing that would hook up to the engine and is actually smaller if you wanted to fit it into an e30.

Sorry, I was in the process of sending you a message right after I typed up that response, you should have it now. :)
