Good deal on E34 for m50 swap? (SF Bay)

03-18-2011, 12:07 PM

1991 525i. owner says 65K on replaced motor passed smog a few months ago. replaced all cooling components..... BAD transmission. i think i can talk him down to 700-750.

Should i jump on this? BTW I'm pretty sure the guy will not have proof of mileage on the motor. should i just do a simple compression test?

What do you think?

So not a good deal? or is this going to turn into another "which engine should i swap" tread?

Not a bad deal no. You could probably part it out and make your money back.
