Markos- you are on point here.

I have 5 m30b35engines on stands right now
Each will go to Star Machine for rebuild.
My cost will be about $6000.00 for each one with parts, purchase, machining and reassemble.

Now you need a custom harness, new injectors, entire intake from e12 and install.

Of course buying a car, shipping it, pulling the engine and towing the carcass away comes with a price too…..

And some praying that the engine is good.

I don’t sell or install used engines.
That rabbit hole goes forever.

I don't invite problems into my life.


Try a wrecking yard with a warranty or follow Marko's advice and buy a running car.

@aearch,

I’m not sure where you are pulling the “around the world” comment from. Especially when you are posting ebay cars and motors from Ohio.

The 535i that I posted is in northern California (as mentioned), 4 hours one way.

You said you wanted an s38. I found you an s38 90 minutes away. You said you wanted a B35. I found a cheap running B35 based e34 - four hours away.

I already explained why I wouldn’t recommend a B34. My match making time has been exhausted. You are on your own from here.

Doesn’t seem weird to me. Show me another 226 VIN’d D-JET-based CSI motor for sale in the US. I sold just my d-jet harness, and injection equipment for $1K five years ago. I sold the short block to a friend for $700 five years ago. I kept the head which was worth around $300. I sent the distributor to Japan for $150. These were forum prices in 2017. $3K in 2022 is not excessive.

IS THIS THE MOTOR I WANT?
IT JUST UP IN OREGON

I don’t know what motor your want, but an M30B35 is the motor of choice for most m30 swaps. The motor I posted was in CA, not OR.
