Item Interest

Hi Guys,

I bought an 08' M3 DCT with a rod bearing failure. So I'm looking for a good running S65 engine with less than 55k miles. I would prefer an engine that is local, but would not mind getting one shipped. Any help is appreciated.

Location: Pasadena, CA

Thanks,

Hovig

look at deansbimmer (i believe that's his username) on here, he's from houston and he's the go to guy for anything bimmer!

just for a heads up, you're probably looking at about 10k for a full motor

Thanks, I will PM him. I found a couple engines locally, but they've been sitting for over a year and I found that suspicious, so I'm still looking.

Luckily, S65's have been dropping in price.

Check this one:

It's $7599 or best offer... offer him $6500

Thanks guys. I am working on an engine right now which will be available later this week.

FWIW- I find that the only S65's dropping in price are high milers, ones with questionable history or that have been sitting for a long time subjected to the elements. For quality running engines and those with known good history or paper trail, you will still pay a good amount for. I go through the engines I sell to inspect/test them, install new gaskets, and upgrade rod bearings to BE and ARP bolts. I do these things as a preventative measure to ensure smooth sailing for the next owner, and they always sell for a slight premium.

Thanks for the link. I saw that one and a couple others that are on ebay, but it has a bit more miles than I would like. The car I bought has 53k miles, and I was hoping to get an engine with the same or less miles. However, deansbimmer has an engine he's sorting out with 61k miles and I may just buy that one for the peace of mind, knowing he's gone through it and tested it.
