The engines should be identical in terms of preparation. In terms of engine health, I'd say it's a crapshoot. An auto owner might be someone who changes oil every 15K. A manual owner might be a teenager. Or, the engine might be well maintained! -
Forgot to ask, other than the wiring harness there is no other difference between the auto vs. 5spd m50 correct? Maybe i'll ask them to include a flywheel since they did ask if it matters to me if it's an auto or 5spd.
I am thinking one from an auto might be "healthier" but one from a 5spd car might be "easier" to prep/install or the same?
I just don't want to regret something once I pick it up I guess.Leave a comment:

F%$!, no maf and ps pump either... and it's from an automatic grrr. Paid the deposit on it today, and going back to pick it up tomorrow with a truck. It's got a 6 month warranty though, so once I do a tear down for clean up if there are any problems they can replace it.Leave a comment:

Picking it up tomorrow
Finally, bought an e36 95 m50 with 86k miles. Needs alternator, starter, oil pan and ecu. Found the alternator,starter already and going to try and make a deal with the seller to swap the oil pan from another m50 for extra $
ECU will come last, as I first want to get all the gaskets and hoses replaced and just clean everything up.
Wish me luck, I bid on it but haven't seen it yet. Good thing it's local though.
:grin:
