Wanted any recommendations on replacing my m20b25. "Toasted" current engine in my 89 325i E30 vert and am itching to get this thing back on the road.
Mechanic quoted several k for a rebuild and 1300 for a used engine through him (before install etc.) He's a bmw specialist and raced 2002's and e30's and I trust him for sure, but exploring options for my wallet's sake.
Tight on cash and between headers and chipped ecu etc, deciding not to just got with a different type of engine.
Looking for personal sale used m20b25 and found one with a "rebuilt head" for 500ish (comes with drivetrain and other shiz). Should I be hesitant about this, at this price after a rebuild?
