I am the second owner of this motor which expired with approximately 69,000 miles on it. I experienced a fuel injector failure which resulted in hydrolocking the engine and throwing parts out the top and bottom of the block. The block is beyond repair and could not be submitted back to BMW as a core (which cost me an extra $1000).
The engine is complete save for the throttle bodies and throttle actuators plus the expendable like belts, hoses and plugs .
This would make a great engine to learn to tear down, use as a mock up, build out as art (which it most certainly is!) or salvage parts from (like the intake plenum, heads potentially, flywheel, oil filter housing, or maybe the pumps) .
