S52 w/ .140 AA headgasket, $113k miles

[BMW Maniac]

Built engine installed, so I'm pricing this engine to sell, because I don't want it to hang around the shop. This engine came out of my boosted 97 M3.

S52 engine from a 97 M3 w/ 113k miles
.140 headgasket from Active Autowerke
OEM flywheel w/ SPEC Stage III clutch!
Oil pan is tapped for oil return line
Newly installed oil pan gasket
Oil pump nut welded
M50 manifold

There is a leak from the lower timing cover gasket (new gasket will be included)
When the engine is pulled, I'll find out if there are any other issues and adjust the price accordingly!

$2000 OBO plus shipping from Kentucky
I've never shipped something this bulky, so I prefer local sale but will ship

Compression Test results:
1 - 142
2 - 148
3 - 155
4 - 155
5 - 151
6 - 160

Pics to come this weekend. The compression test was done on a engine that was not fully warmed up, but assured the motor is healthy. There are a lot of misc parts that I had to install on my new motor, so this will not be a plug and play piece.

Parts NOT included: ECU, harness, oil filter canister, pulley's, alt, ac compressor, Throttle body.....

Questions, just PM or email me at Hoova0797@hotmail.com

Free bump for Alex... Motor is in great shape!

Hey, just wondering if the engine is still available. Thanks!

[BMW Maniac]

Yes, motor is still available but WILL NOT come with the OEM flywheel. I have the one that came with my built motor, but I cannot guarantee the condition or that there will be no issues from using it......

[chisox12]

What kind of flywheel is it, and what might the issues be?

[BMW Maniac]

I think it was a dual mass flywheel that was modified to handle the extra horsepower....I'll get more clarification form the original owner.

Leak down test:

1 - 8%
2 - 6%
3 - 9%
4 - 4%
5 - 5%
6 - 5%

Overall, its clear to say that the engine leakdown wise is healthy.

I'll be home at the end of the month and the beginning of the next month for a little bit...would like to get this out before i leave on the 5th of October!

[chisox12]

If we can figure out a way to get it shipped to Corpus Christi, TX I will take it!!

[BMW Maniac]

It was decked and balanced by the shop that did all the machine work on the block and head....no issues with it.

I'll get a shipping quote for you...give me your zip code. I won't be able to ship it out until I get back, as well as all the other parts associated.

As far as payment, you can paypal me at Hoova0797@hotmail.com. I don't accept credit card payments because I don't want to pay the paypal fees. So, you can either do echeck or bank transfer. I figure shipping is going to be around $300 if not more for crate, packaging, etc...so how does $2300 shipped sound?

[BMW Maniac]

Also, I have a brand spanking new, never installed TEC3r for sale as well.....retails at over $3100, selling for $2500 shipped!

[chisox12]

Zip code is 78418, 2300 sounds fair to me. I'll have to pass on the TEC3 for now. I can do either the transfer or the echeck, just let me know when you find out about shipping and I will send the $$.

[BMW Maniac]

I'll find out as soon as I get back. I'll look to ship it before the end of the first week in October. When the engine is prepped and ready to ship, I'll ask for payment. Echeck will delay the shipping until the funds clear, but with transfer, I can ship it out immediately once it is ready.

Thanks!
