    That motor has been for sale for some time. I think the guy sold other parts on eBay. It's about 25 minutes from me.

    $3500 for an M54? You can get an S54 for that...
    It's just something to keep in mind for those that already are going to do an engine swap...

    Here's an M54b30 with 27K for $2500 local to me. The original asking price was almost $6K afew months ago. To bad I could not use this in my xi.

    good miles but pricey. Maybe an S54 would be better?

    The S54s that I've seen are $5K and up but I haven't really been looking lately either. I am on the lookout for a 03-05 330xi 6spd to swap the drivetrain into my touring. It's actually cheaper to buy a donor car from an auction than buying a engine, trans, and haraness.

    On a side note one of my friends blewn up the M56 in his 325ci and swapped it out for a LS1 out of an 06 GTO for $2K. That is alot of performance for $2K. Stock hp of 400hp.

    Good lookin' out Michele.

    Related story: I almost pulled the trigger on a 330 when I replaced my engine. I started making a list of all the stuff we'd need to swap and my indy mechanic thought it was going to be more of a headache than it was worth.

    In the late 70's I replaced the 2.0 liter in my 72 2002 with one I bought from an outfit in L.A. Had just 6000 miles on it, I seem to recall it was $1400. I was told it came out of a car owned by Mark Hamil aka Luke Skywalker. They claimed he was trying to commit suicide when he wrecked the car.
