Guest Ari Gold Report post Posted February 2, 2010 http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-269296617.htm Thoughts on this, people? To my mind, that sort of money should buy the whole car, seeing as you basically need a whole donor to make the swap as painless as possible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greenday-rulz21 4 Report post Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) Agree with you Ari. Doesn't even come with the loom and they don't know how many k's its done. Was gonna post this yesterday but I thought it might be opening a can of worms! Edit: I now recognise the photos, I remember that car. It was completely destroyed from memory, posted up here before.

CamB 48 Report post Posted February 2, 2010 I agree - that seems to be about the going rate for the wrecked car (dunno - ask 1quad1) and you might as well have the opportunity to use/sell the other bits... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andre3000 55 Report post Posted February 2, 2010 10g for engine and all asociated running gear + 5g for the gearbox. This exactly what i was looking at, except from an m3. Its a f**king expensive package but you really get what you're paying for. Try getting a ZF for anything less than 5g, i did, it was so impossible to find i went toyota instead.

For only another $5k you get the rest of the car and an extra gear!!! +1 However it is an auction and offers may/may not be entertained. Im sure the seller is a member Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenday-rulz21 4 Report post Posted February 2, 2010 Obviously being sold on behalf of the owner through RaceFX. Sure they would negotiate but not a lot of people have that kinda cash lying around anyways. So I personally expect it to be there for a while but I'll probably be wrong!

I paid $1500 for my ZF that went into the 328 (same as M3) from a wrecker. They're out there if ya wait long enough. The price they're asking is almost twice its value imo.

Greg111 13 Report post Posted February 2, 2010 15g for the whole car would be alright, so you have the loom etc, daylight robbery if they manage to sell just the engine and box for that amount. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1039 Report post Posted February 3, 2010 unknown k's its over priced by 7k .. its had the vanos replaced recently at least You also need the DME, engine loom, EWS modules, loom and key. To get you started. You could nearly buy in a re-cond s50 crate engine for that money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3_Power 636 Report post Posted February 4, 2010 You can ship a used s54B32 with a gearbox for that money .... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
