M50 vanos-$1200
M50 non vanos -$1000
M20-$650
M30-$650
M90-$1700

with transmissions anywhere 500- 890

Are these rebuilt motor prices? I got my M50 VANOS for much cheaper than that.

What the hell is an M90?

"M90 was the designation given to this engine before 1980 when it redesignated M30. This engine is based on the block Motorsport used in the 3.0/3.5 CSLs and shares the same bore and stroke (93.4 x 84mm)of the M88/S38 M5/6 engine. It produces 218bhp and 228lb ft. of torque."

Unless the guy who started this thread meant to type M60.

No such thing.
I'm sure he meant M60.

Prices seem a little high, but if they are complete motors with accessories, electronics, manifolds, and such, and most importantly a company backing them up, I would definitely look into them depending on mileage and condition.

the M90 is a V12 in the early ninety 7 series

Got to know all of the Bimmer engines

The M60 retail from them for like $550

You're thinking of the M70

[clutterbucker]

now THATS true

I wouldn't mind having one in the trunk and one under the hood. As well as two separate differentials with no transfer case, just a single computing system continuously controlling the power to each motor.

Edit: Scratch that, I want an S70.
