need new engine blew mine last nite.

[busyphil365]

:eek: Well guys I blew the engine last nite. Its a 92 525 m50 5speed. If any one is doing a part out or know's some one for a decent motor i'm looking. Please let me know anything you guys know. I need to get this taken care of quickly and painlessly as possible. Thankyou

How did you blow it? Overheating or pop the block?

[StealthBimmer]

Ive got a m50 from a 91 525i, same engine.

140k on the clock, maintained well. No oil pan on it though (you can use yours anyways)

$500 + shipping

You may be better off finding one in your state. I would call around to local yards.

*cough*

S52

*cough*

[busyphil365]

s52? educate me please. I would assume that this is an engine code. is it just a better engine than the m50? and what would i have to change to make this work or is it just a direct swap?

[strad]

S52 is the engine out of a 96+ M3 It's gonna cost you a lot more to go this way than to get an M50.

e36 m3 motor

^^oh damn you beat me to it^^

[sfgearhead]

You could also look for a later M52 (2.8 or 3.0) to swap in for a little extra oomph, but extra work. Depends on how much time and $ you have.

yeah this is my daily driver. fortunetaly i also have my pick up so ive got a way around. the pick up just ends costing more in gas and it ends up being a pain if i have any more than 1 other person with me. But to the point i'm looking for the simplest fix. just a good replacement motor to get it back on the road.

how'd you blow it?

[briant2828]

i have an engine that came out of a 1995 bmw 525 had 160k km's so like 100k miles but i think its alot better if you buy one in your state shipping from canada would kill. good luck email me if interested brian_tetreault1@hotmail.com

So... how did you blow your engine?

[busyphil365]

yeah pretty much being stupid. Tryin to act cool for my cousin. He drove us home he was my DD and well a few miles from home i had him pull over to show him how its done. well lets just say i should have stayed my a$$ in the passenger seat. I def. caught the wrong gear..............red lined the hell out of it and it popped. thankfully we were almost home so it limped into my neighborhood and died. We had to walk a few blocks but you know thats what you get for being stupid. plus it has somewhere around 285k on the clock. so it was time anyway.:(

[4500 RPM]

285k...it was time I suppose. Remember to keep the intake manifold of the old one, OBD-II guys love that thing.

so will it or will it not? Or do I need to try to stick with the m50 from the 92-95.

[StealthBimmer]

It will, kessler is snorting something that bin gave him

91 and 92 used a non vanos m50

93-95 used a vanos m50


So unless I'm missing something that kessler would like to explain???

[E34ührer]

Pretty sure Kessler meant to quote this guy:

by chance does anyone know the approx. weight of the m50 engine for shipping info.

alright guys need a little advice.

1. guy in wisconsin has motor with 145k for 500 + shipping no warranty (well maintained)

2. bavarian auto recycling has motor with 165k for 750+ shipping 2 year warranty

3. My brother has a hook up through a local shop. motor has 77k + 170psi across all cyclinders. + 6 month warranty . delivered anywhere i want $1100.00

What do you guys think? choice 1,2,or 3

[E34ührer]

I vote 1 or 3. 3 is more attractive to me because of milage...but 1 is half the price.

77k on an M50 is just beginning to stretch it's legs...

[Binjammin]

1 or 3, leaning towards 3. Never number 2.

[busyphil365]

Yeah guys i'm def. leaning towards # 3. but i'm wandering why everyone is saying never #2. it does have a 2 year warranty. also what do these motors weigh so i can find out shipping price. that will def. help with the decision.

Deal with BAR and you'll find out.

[busyphil365]

Deal with BAR and you'll find out.

that bad huh? well that eliminates option 2.

who knows the motor weight? because were down to option 1 and option 3. if its going to be around the same price when shipping is added to option 1. then option 3's the winner.
