I always wonder where all this 60kmiles engines are coming from? That is an average of 4000miles/year. But good to see the price. My engine will be for sale in a few weeks. ------------- E61 520d, slow and buzzy but my wallet likes the mpg..... |

Just getting the last bits together. Block needs still boring as I haven't picked the pistons up yet. Also cams haven't been ordered. But the rest is fine. Cleaned most of the bits and will get them over to Nigel maybe Saturday ------------- E61 520d, slow and buzzy but my wallet likes the mpg..... |

They're not cheap, our engines, are they? How much do you think you will want for your engine, Uwe? What cams are you going for? Which exhaust? What about Motec!!!????? ------------- John W 1990 E30 M3 Sport Evo 1990 E30 M3 http://www.bayareamotorsport.com/john_uk/  |

John, I think the stock exhaust is good enough for me. Motec isn't on my list at all. I am not trying to break the dyno high score at Bexley's. I just want to put an engine together. going to 2.5 was a logical decision (thanks to Nigel). If you work out the bits which need replacing, it doesn't make a big difference to go for 2.5. the crank is they only "extra" item. But it comes complete with all the bearing shells, so this saves a few pounds in the end. I don't know how much my engine will be (why u asking? need a proper replacement for your EVO3 I'll make you a special deal)------------- E61 520d, slow and buzzy but my wallet likes the mpg..... |

Uwe,
Ha ha ha......I bet you would like the record at Bexleys though?? When you say stock exhaust....you're not keeping the cats I hope? |

cats will go of course. I don't understand that Sport EVO owners do ditch the cat and spend money. The E3 is a metal cat and doesn't take much (or nothing at all) bhp away. If you have a working EVO3 cat, send it to Germany! They guy's over there are really keen for it as they need to have the cat working for cheaper road tax ------------- E61 520d, slow and buzzy but my wallet likes the mpg..... |

My cat went years ago. It's Milltek all the way for me.
Are you just cutting the cats out and replacing them with a straight pipe? My Sport had this solution before I fitted the new Milltek exhaust. It was pretty noisy. |
