What did your m50 cost?

[slowe34]

Tried searching first, but just trying to get a general idea of what people have been paying for m50's.

So, how much and what came with/milage/trans??

Of course I know money will need to be put in to any used engine, but Im just thinking initial cost here. Thanks

first m50- $400 with everything minus a trans.
second m50- $400 with everything
third m50- free

I paid $700 for my motor, which included:

NV E34 M50 (w/ oil pan and dipstick)
E36 motor mount arms
ECU

Paid $200 for the m50 (block+head) with the wiring harness and power steering pump.. the rest I had to source

[Jand3rson]

Oh yeah, mine had the full harness and an adapter too, but we didn't use the adapter, my brother in law hard-wired the X20 directly into my harness.

So far, roughly $700. But with the turbo build, its about to get expensive.

[Jand3rson]

I think he just wants initial cost of the motor. I put easily another $1k-1500 into it and the swap after the initial purchase.

yep, just looking for what a fair price would be to pay for engine/trans out of a parts car or craigslist find.

I paid $300 for: m50, dme, harness, all accessories, motor mount arms, but no tranny. Found it in Portland craigslist.

Yeapp, same here.. Selling the m20 and other parts helped with the funds though :up:

I sold my M20 to pay for the M50.

I bought a 94 325is for $300, oil pan and dipstick was another $180.

[JdmEuroNorth]

$800, drop in.

$800 for a complete 1992 525i took all the parts i needed
sold the rolling chassis for $500 and my eta for $300 and i got a "free" m50nv with all wiring a/c and everything

[!kid]

Payed $280 for complete m52 engine is still on my engine stand. I am $1100 into the build with parts. Expecting to pay another 500 ish before I drop it in.
