[e30pdee]

For those who swapped, give details what motor, built internals or stock. And how much it costed

For those of you who did a rebuilds, how much did it cost, stock bmw internal, built internals what ever detail you can get in throw it in here!



Just want to get some insight from ya'll and maybe give some insight to other that mayvread this thread in the future!

Discuss away!! :hitler:

how about you research the cost of the all the parts it takes to rebuild a motor and go from there.

and if you have to ask, you cant afford it.

[e30pdee]

alright just shit away i guess, that helps too. im contemplating the idea, i can afford it. i would just like to see would be more cost effective and get an idea of what others went through

[pandaboo911]

one million dollars

You would get a better understanding of what we "went through" by researching everything you need and making a list of the endless websites you have to go to and compiling a price and then figuring out whether it is more time to cost effective instead of just asking for a price. We go through hell to do research. You want to know what we go through, then start researching. Plus everyone puts different add ons and what not to their motors so giving an average price is almost impossible.

ill take that fair enough, ive done a bit of research but probably not nearly as much as you guys. im just not too knowledgable about 24v swaps compared to 12v rebuilds. is there anywhere else i could look too besides the forums to get some extra knowledge?

[Court M3]

on e30performance.info on of the members has a 12v rebuild list with parts and prices

[F34R]

Research build threads man, junk yards help with buying the engine. Prices range from 200-6k+

[Thizzelle]

i thought for a basic setup is about 1k, junkyard engine swap

one million dollars

2 BJ's and a big mac

Your sanity...

[PeteD]

It really all depends. If you haven't done it before, best advice I can give is buy a complete running motor. It will save you many headaches, especially when it comes to trouble shooting the motor to make it run.
