What's a 325i motor selling for these days?

[chrisd]

I ran across one for sale - is $400 fair? should I not lowball this guy?
"1988 bmw 325is motor. long block with accesorries, ecu included. approx. 150k mi"
no, I don't know what "accessories" are either, but is it in the ballpark?
thanks, y'all.

if everything works on it, i'd say that's a good deal.

yah thats not bad, seeing as i paid bout $700 cdn for a used motor for a 325e

which works out to be $526 usd,

besides you alwasy can sell the unused parts and get some of your money back ;)

Oh my god here is my guilt trip.

I spent $900 on my 325e motor alright yes i paid alot but i got my moneys worth i ended up with a VERY VERY strong running 1986 325e motor and they were not able to check the speedo as the car was pretty much t-boned in half but i bet from the running condition it is in it had around 100k on it like 140 or so.

But then about 5-6 months later heh i got a me a 325i motor and all the goodies to do a swap for no cost.

Re:

That's a good deal. DME's bring 75-100
"i" motors are $500 - $1000 depending on mileage.

thanks yall

I am going to go buy it. That means I have a year or so to build it, and then I'll drop the thing in.

Thanks for all the answers, especially "Check ebay." That one makes me feel dumb. heh.
