Hi Everyone
I'm urgently after a BMW 320i e46 2.2l 2001 M54B22 engine, complete with block,sump,head, etc.
I bought my e46 in pristine condition, had it for 8 months now, and suddenly lost power, using water, etc. took it to my mechanic who discovered that the previous owner had removed the head, replaced the head gasket, over tightened the head, didn't use a torque wrench probably, and subsequently 3 of the studs ripped came loose, ripped the thread, blowing the new head gasket, sending oil in the water and vice versa, and completely screwing the motor up
Thought this to be unreal as the car had only done 128,000km when I bought it, and only done 6,200km since... Breaks my heart having spent so much money on a nice looking car that looks mint but the previous owner didnt tell me what he did to it.
So if anyone has a motor lying about, I'm desperate guys... got the $ to pay for it, just need the Beemer back on the road...
cheers and thanks muchly
Marc
