MGL 4 Report post Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) Manual BMW 1990 525i e34 for sale! Brought this to fix up as my daily, but its been a month since I got it, got the head off it, and i'm just not going to get it done. Its a fairly high spec model - A/C, trip computer, fully electric. But its cloth interior and the paint are all pretty shabby. Wof expires february next year. reg on hold. When I brought it the cooling system was pressurising. I've removed the head, I think it just needs a skim or a bit of a weld up, as you can see where it blew into the cooling gallery. Included with the sale is a full head gasket set. including new head bolts. waterpump has been done recently. Payment must be by the weekend, but I dont mind it sitting here for a week or two. $1250ono Edited October 8, 2013 by MGL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeff002 23 Report post Posted October 6, 2013 I think engine swap is easier way than fix a cracked head. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MGL 4 Report post Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Pretty sure the head isn't cracked though, needs a weld to build up part of the combustion chamber wall where it has thinned out due to water being used rather than coolant I guess? $1000, any takers?
