He turned probably turned into a businessman after you assumed he would do 20+ hrs work for free...always two sides to a story.

If you can't do headgaskets, why would you try swapping the engine yourself? Not hating, just trying to follow your 'logic'...

I would scrap it, personally.

work wont' increase value of car as it'll just be considered "maint."

Learn to work on your own cars otherwise get something with a warranty.

Ask your dad for another one? Its obvious your car didn't stay fresh as fuck.

1) Swap an M20 in it.
2) Profit.

Just found a 67k motor with compression and leak down test done. I believe that's called winning.

Shitty fucking engineering, when Jean was taking his brothers TU62 apart I think the only thing that came out of my mouth was " that's fucking retarded ".

Any specific remarks? A 540i6 is the front runner for my next car.

[lolcantturn]

put an M10 in it

[Raxe]

Cut your losses and scrap it, there's very little market for E38 parts and the only thing worth money is the engine/tranny anyways.

I like where this is going.

Search up for all the pics that Jean took while rebuilding it, I couldn't believe how many " we'll just do it cheap and shitty " shortcuts they built into that motor.

[freeride53]

New engine, obviously the answer.

[Charley]

Sell it for parts, e38 aren't worth much nowadays. I bought my 98 740il for 2k. At the first sign of engine/trans problem, I will sell it for parts.
