I just picked up a m52 out of a 98 328 for my car but my plans have changed and i no longer need it, it comes with everything, engine harness, all computers, steering column and key. The motor has about 80k on it. It also has the m50 manifold. Ill have pictures up tonight, waiting on a friend to upload them. Will ship at buyers expense, im asking 1500 obo. Best way to contact me is via email at boosted240sx@bellsouth.net.

I emailed you an offer weeks ago, if it was too low, at least email me back so I can counter.

sorry man i dont think i got your offer, i may have accidently deleted it thinking it was spam. If you can resend it, the price has dropped to 1100 for just the engine, no computers etc, 1250 with the obd2 stuff.

No interest in a cheap motor?

wait, how do you only have 33 posts but you have pictures? I'm seriously contemplating scooping this up...but 33 posts doesn't offer much faith. Anyway to verify accuracy of this post, or someone to vouch for it\you? Baton Rouge is a long drive to end up getting screwed...

My friend jon has been a long time member here, hes at a night autox right now but ill get him to post up when he gets back. He works at the shop where the motor is currently located. Just let me know if theres anything else i can do to help.

well I'm not gonna play games I'll just be straight up. I have my civic listed for sale in the Auto-Locator...so if it sells(95% chance) then I'm very very interested in buying your motor. How did you get the motor? It comes with everything to plug and play(into a 98 328is)? Vins? You stand behind it? Anyone you prefer to ship through to my business address?

I got it through a local who bought it from a running car for a 2002 project that never happened, it sat on the pallet for a couple months before i got it a couple of months ago. For 1100 if comes with absolutely everything, harness, ecu, key steering colum everything pictured. I stand behind it as far as compression numbers, thats all i can do, i have never personally seen it run. I've only dealt with yellow frieght before but im willing to work with any local shipping companies.

EDIT: shipping prices I found thru ups, fedex, and yellow freight were in the $500-700 range...is this typical\accurate?
