Michael. 2312 Report post Posted April 16, 2014 Just curious what the expected market value would be for an S50B32 engine with complete loom and all basic parts, including the 6 speed 420G gearbox, in good operational order with 100,000 - 200,000 kms? I see one sold recently on trade me for $6,000 less the gearbox... Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My thoughts are it would be the most cost effective to buy a tidy later model evo M3, and whip out the motor, on sell it and retro fit the M62+420G that way rather than spend a fortune doing up a non M3s suspension, brakes and drive terrain, not to mention the chassis reinforcements I've crunched the numbers and it would be more cost effective than how I've done up the 325i to near M3 specification.

FIAT 131R 223 Report post Posted April 16, 2014 S54 is the way to go and just by chance I have a couple in my lock up. 6 speed manual or ZF 5 speed manual gear boxes available. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
