After a lot of parts gatherings and finding out that I didn't have a good head at all, I made some call and found a complete engine in a 98 318ti that was wrecked. I know the history on this car and chased it to the current owner. (local salvage yard) After much negotiation, we agreed on $650 and I bought it all complete with all accessories and trans but I we had to pull it. Since the car was wrecked and the wiring was already cut, we just cut everything loose and pulled it out complete in about 45min. I got it home and put all my original accessories on it and put it in. After running for a while it smoothed out and runs perfect. I did a little background on the car and found out that the engine only has 49,869 miles on it. I think that was the deal of the century. I now have a 5 speed for sale and an M42 short block for sale. I will post some pics of the the car when I get the new back window in and the car cleaned up. So for I am in the car for a total of $3800 including tags.

hmm the exhuast manifold on e36 cars is different than e30. I am planning a 2002 swap and I am thinking the e30 manifold is going to run into some things. Do you have an extra manifold? that you want to sell?
