That might require some suspension upgrades...

This is true haha

To be honest I am up for any bmw l6, whichever is cheapest/most reliable

To be honest I am unsure as to what l6 I'd like, any is fine, there just seemed to be more available haha.

The plan is to put it into an MGB GT

Thanks a lot guys! The plan when buying the engine would be the following:

-Replacing coolant parts (alloy parts where once were plastic)

-Replacing gaskets and seals

-Replacing pumps

-Replacing all filters etc

Since I'll be swapping the engine into a non BMW, I figured it'd be best to do all these things at once.

Hello everyone,

As I mentioned in the general discussions, I am looking to purchase an M52 or similar in the near(ish) future. Before I swap the engine into the car, I would like to know which upgrades are most recommended. I am not going for power, I am going for reliability.

I am currently aware of the two following reliability upgrades:

- Replacing thermostat housing with aluminium.

- Replacing waterpump pulley with aluminium

Are there any other big things to replace that will improve the reliability? At this stage I would not be interested in replacing cam, crank or pistons.

Thanks again for the help,

Maunde

Yup FCP Euro, VAC Motorsports, ECS Tuning are the best sources.  They do OEM or aftermarket.

You can get seal kits.  Upper and Lower.  You can also get hose kits and service kits that include the pump etc.

You may want to look at some upgrades too.

Jump on their websites and input your vehicle details.  Go from there.  Just remember it's in USD and you will need to pay GST once the stuff arrives.

Hey guys, thanks for the heads up! I will check those out.

Are there any particular parts which would be different from the US BMWs? Cheers

Hello all,

I am new to the forum as well as the mighty BMW engines. I am interested in purchasing an M52 or similar in the future, and would like to know typical costs that one could expect for a rebuild. Not a full rebuild, but including the following:

All seals and gaskets

Pumps (water and oil)

Other consumables. 

Has anyone done a similar rebuild and would know the costs? 

Appreciate the help greatly!
