Looking for a S65 V8

Hey All,

I know first off that this is a long shot. But I'm looking for a used 4.0L S65 V8 Engine that's complete and in good condition.

Looking to replace the blown S65 engine in a 2008 e90 M3 Manual Transmission.

I'm assuming if there are any good candidates out there locally, that they will be in the 6-8k+ price range which I'm prepared to spend.

Text or Phone calls are the best way to get a hold of me.

9058755229

Thanks,

Tyler

Use to be someone on kijiji selling a low mileage motor for $8k.
I believe that's probably sold...

The seller listed above seems to be the same seller that's performing all of these "part outs" on kijiji. So again I've already emailed him, I'll wait to see what he says. Thanks Gordon!


I'm hoping to find a S65 running in a M3 that i can see/ hear running.

If you want a quality known good S65 with good history and favorable inspection then I think you'll need to adjust your budget upwards and your search nationally.

If you want to stick to your budget and get your hands on a core to do the RB's and refresh yourself then there are a few listed on eBay that might work. The market value on a desirable motor is going up. The cheap ones are junkyard motors in questionable condition sold by people who don't know anything about S65's.

I know of a couple of solid engines that have been gone through and refreshed with new bearings if you're interested in spending a little more to get a better product from someone who knows these motors.

+1

I'd buy one from mporiumbmw (ebay) or the one that Mike Benvo has for sale right now.
