[Mike325]

Man Joe. This sucks. I am sorry to here this. What are the plans now?

[JoeMadoo]

I guess i'll pull it back out. The bently thinks its a connecting rod bearing. I don't know how hard those are to replace :(. I guess this what happens when you buy a 200k engine and don't rebuild the bottom end.

Oh man Joe, I'm so sorry. I know how you feel.

Now you just have to fix it and be back on the road again!!

so are you gonna rebuild it or find another M30 to put in? I've seen a few on bimmerforums and e28.com

[JoeMadoo]

I dunno. I guess it depends on what is broken. what do you guys recommend?
