Found a wrecked E39 on craigslist, picked it up for $380. Took the M52 and ZF, sold the rest. Made my total $3000 swap cost me like a grand once I sold some parts. I still have like a couple grand in parts off it. Just takes time.

Legit man. A little bit higher in price but worth it to know its been tested and runs good before you buy. Only problem is it wont come with all required parts for a swap.

Jeeeeezuz, did you have to pull the engine from between the front seats?!?!?!?!


on a lighter note, I thought the 3 series was a compact executive, not a compacted executive

You can ask for all the acc. And just be patient and keep looking until you find the right price for you. I've seen s50 go for $900 on that site.

eBay, found one that had all the accessories and a transmission with reasonable mileage and a "make offer" option.
