Should I jump on this M50? Now with Pic

[Massimo]

yeh i did, I have the valve cover i just don't have it on, it has some dust and dirt in it because I had a dirty rag on it, maybe even some dog hair. lol

Will see what it is like in the coming weeks when I pull it apart to store it.

[Vivek]

Ohh that head's not looking too great. But you expected that, right?

[Massimo]

1.) Can we get into the shipping/flipping business please? Holy shit those are priced high!
2.) I'm jealous of your rhd. "A picture's worth a thousand words." I knew your e30 was rhd, but seeing a picture of it-with an M50 next to it put a smile on my face.
3.) Your sig took away that smile, it gives me a headache lol. :D

1: no there are rules on age of cars that can be imported I think it is something like 10 years.

2: its ok but turbo charging or creating a 4 in1 exhaust is difficult because of teh stuipd steering shaft. But I like being able to drive with my right hand and shift with my left.

3: That is what happens in upsidedownland you get headaches and it turns your simle into a frown. lol

Oh btw it is a 2lt M50 from a 1992 320i

Are prices always crazy high across the board for all cars in general?

well E90 M3 is about $160,000, and M5 is about $250,000.

Good news pulled the engine for $300 yay, phone is fucking up though so pictures to come soon. So if anyone is insterested it was at the local U PULL IT very uncommon to find a M50 there so this was a great find.

GEEZ well i guess I'm getting trade price.
Australia is hopeless for Bmw parts.

Yeh maybe, I have used AVS Euro Car Parts a few times I can sometimes get stuff cheaper then what I get them in the states which is nice.

But on a whole yeh we suck for parts, I order directly from blunttech these days.

[jules325i]

Maybe, but if I am going to have a choice of engines then I would go with a M60/62 I am only going for the M50 because it is there and it is cheap.

I have looked at Peninsula BM webpage before, I needed a fan clutch for the M42 they quoted me $280 for a second hand jobby, that put me off as I bought a brand new one for like $80 shipped from pelican parts. Maybe ill have to give them a go again sometime.

If you don't end i buying it.
and are still in the market.
Give peninsula BM a call they are in melbourne and offer great products at good prices with warranty.
I work at a bmw specialist garage we have purchased many engines from there with no problems at all.
