Well that's the thing, I've had it running on a b30 ecu as the original one got water damaged and it did seem to work fine but can't guarantee perfect performance. If you want just the bare engine it's self I'd probably say $1000 and if you are wanting all the accessories $1250. Thanks

Hi, I've got a m60b40 from an e34 I can sell. It was running well before removal, it is high km's with around 300k. Located north of Auckland. Cheers

I'm thinking of selling my 330i next year, it might tick some boxes for you. It's higher km but with good service history, I've spent a lot on the usual M54 things. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-Kw4RsE4FKP9GdL8LFC_DJ_DqObRDxkt

Hey. I was selling the set of 1 front and 2 rear on trade me if you saw that, can sell just the front one for $150 if you’re interested. Cheers

I’d probably prefer to sell it as a full conversion, but for reference last kit I sold was $1500. Unfortunately not many people would see the value of this engine, which is why I’ve held on to it. Thanks

Hi, probably not at this stage as that will require removing the ecu chip as well.

SOLD Complete Engine and gearbox with all the accessories removed from a 1990 535i, car had 162k miles but this car had extensive work done at 145k with the engine being fully blueprinted. See here for when it was last for sale Car had been manual converted since then and unfortunately was written off a few years ago, I brought it with the intention of putting the drive-train into another car I've got but haven't had the time. Was running before removal and has been stored in a container since, it's in very good condition and features the miller maf conversion. As for the gearbox I was told by the last owner it had less than 200k km, and has an aftermarket single mass flywheel. Unfortunately the oil cooler was damaged so that would need to be bypassed or swap to standard oil filter housing as well as one engine arm, for this I can include another pretty much complete M30 with a suspected blown head gasket for asking price. Also not pictured is the driveshaft which is included. I'm after $4000 at this stage, hard to find an engine in this condition and would be an awesome swap for the E30.

@Kees Awesome score on that diff! Those seats used to be in my 540i, they weren’t plugged in so no idea on the heat working and I think it’s fair to be hesitant to try it with all you went through.

They usually have one under one of the front seats, but who knows if these are the original seats and if that’s something they did in SA.

Been in the same boat, ordered back in March and a lot had to be ordered in. Two items didn’t arrive and are now back ordered with no eta from BMW, which I finally got told that after 2 months of waiting. Items canceled from order and money was refunded, still waiting for rest to ship though.

@Kees That's an amazing transformation even so for the km's, mines half that but has had a hard life with some previous owners. I do think they're a great wheel for the E34 and would be perfect for my touring (going for M5 look), but my pick will always be the style 5 RC035. It was a decent order, mostly out of stock so hence the long wait. But most of the delay was with the upholstery as I got the headliner and boot carpet re-covered.

@Kees Wow your car looks so clean! Love the colour and the wheels 😍, I keep missing out on throwing stars. (Good to see you have the covers the correct way haha) That will be good, mine has been off the road since mid last year and hopefully will get a wof soon. Parts orders have been a huge delay for sure, one order of mine didn't even ship for 2 months.

@Kees Very cool indeed and I'm lucky to have them, don't worry lots of people say they're jealous and want to buy it including me before I brought it off my mate 😂. If you need any E34 parts for yours let me know as I have a lot stashed!

@Kees They are amazing that's for sure and you are 100% right about no one wanting to let there's go, I know I don't plan on selling mine anytime soon. I love the E34 too, have way too many parts for them now. Here's mine, both manual 😁

I was obsessed with wanting one of these when I was first getting into cars, never did see a manual one when I was looking but that was always the dream. I'm glad I didn't get one as a first car because that would've most likely been a bad idea, but I still always look out for them on the road and have definitely seen the one with the custom plate before. I still think I'd be into one if I didn't have my 540i manual 😀
