I have an engine that was set up to install in an E9. This was installed into the car but never fully set up with electrical. The engine has a good history with no issues. It came from an '85 735i, so it takes the earlier passenger side motor mount without modification. The motor mounts are correct for installation into the E9 as shown in the photos. It has several shims between the mount and the rubber/poly motor mount bushing to allow for clearance of the tii brake booster. The driver side has the bell crank for the throttle body linkage.

The starter is present and it is the compact starter which may or may not be an upgrade. The oil pan is from an earlier M30 and clears the E9 subframe quite nicely. The M30B34 stock pan will not clear. The oil pickup was also swapped out. The accessory rack was also changed to reflect the requirements of earlier alternators as shown in the photos. The fuel rail is stock B34.

The intake manifold has been modified to allow for the installation of a vacuum line to the brake booster. This engine can be wired to accept any Motronic wiring system, including Motronic 1.3. I have a couple harnesses available for $200 each.

Engine is located in Pomona.

$995.

Boat anchor.

The worst engine choice besides stock USA 3.0.
Low compression
Grandma cam.

The good ones are:

733i engine
m30b35 engine
b34 euro engine
m90 engine

Well, just suppose someone has a spare turbocharger from say, a Volvo, sitting around and one of these boat anchor engines. Would the two make a reasonably good combination?
In that case the low compression might be a better setup, but I've no idea about the cam or indeed if the compression would be low enough to prevent damage, though I suppose you could limit the boost. Just wondering.

Sounds like a monstrous waste of time and money.
