Last call anyone need a m42 drivetrain, removed from running '91 318is with 244K on working odometer and original clutch? Come pick it up in Burnt Hills, NY. $100 for motor and $100 for trans. $150 takes both including driveshaft.
No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.
Still available? Are they mated? I might just want the tranny but for $50 more..... What is the status of the motor minus high mileage?
Yup still available. Pick-up in Burnt Hills, NY. Motor was running (have video somewhere) and car was driving OK. Original clutch, so that's shot, but otherwise shifted OK. IMO the motor needs full reseal, plugs maybe coils, etc. Knowing I was going to pull it out I decided to 24v swap instead of investing in the m42. You can check my build thread for condition of car it came from. We did not check compression before pulling.
Someone else in NY state is/was also trying to sell an M42 on here, and ended up reducing it to free, maybe you shoud PM him and see if he had any interest in your neck of the woods.
still interested, still across the country. I might be able to use the engine harness/sensors and possibly the trans... Any idea about splitting up and shipping those parts to 80917?

Certainly...sorry shop has been really busy. If no local takers, I am going to donate it to them, let them part it out and will share contact details.
