    Cost of an S38B36

    Does anyone know how much a complete S38B36 engine is worth.. I have one and might trade to a euro S503.2L..

      Mileage, any leaks, any records?

      Complete B36 would fetch around 5-6000 USD, under 100k miles would get 7000+ USD.

          You could ask up to 8000 USD (or ~5500 € in your case.)

                in this market, you would have a hard time getting 6-8k. those 3 s38s on ebay sold for 6k, and they were complete and came with 2 getrag 280s. their condition was unknown, but you will have to look long and hard for a buyer willing to pay that much for a 90k s38. the s38 in my 88 M5 had to be rebuilt at 110k, so low miles doesn't guarantee anything.

                        Elaborate please.

                        As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
                        You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.
