Picking it up tomorrow

[surebimmer]

I have two m50's in my backyard right now. Just waiting to find a cheap s52 to swap all the obd 1 stuff to it. Then into the m3. Have fun jean!

Cool, Jean.

Pics soon?

Which car is it going into, early or late?

[Jason89i]

True. Just wanted to make sure I wouldn't have unforseen issues by going with one from an auto.

auto's dont have pilot bearings. so, you will need one of those.

cheers, jason

Congrats man.

What are your plans for it?

[Jean]

Going into the white 325i once I prep it. I'll do something about cams/injectors/ecu later. For now they (injectors) are going to be sent off for cleaning/flow tested, and I am ordering new gaskets/hoses. Things I can remove w/o taking the whole engine apart are going to get hot tanked or blasted as well.

[Jean]

Picked it up, didn't pay close attention to the flywheel side of it (automatic) and it's going back tomorrow for another one. Doh.

[Eviltwin]

how heavy was that engine hoist?

[golde30]

so they sold you an auto motor even though they said they were going to pull a 5spd engine?

[Jean]

Yep, they'll make it right tomorrow. It was just too late for me to go back tonight. I already called them, and they'll get a 5spd out for me no problem.

I am not having a good day today.

Didn't you also say they were going to put an E34 oil pan on it?

They did, I have it :)

[golde30]

who did you get it from? B.A.R.?

[BigD]

They did, I have it :)

Gotcha. I misread it as they're gonna change it for you.

[Jean]

Gotcha. I misread it as they're gonna change it for you.

Yeah, I thought they would let me take the e36 m50 pan out and get an e34 pan for extra cash but they don't even want the m50 pan back and let me have the e35 m50 pan for what they quoted me :)

who did you get it from? B.A.R.?

No, another recycler not too far away from them.
