i just got my car and found out that the piston rings have been worn out for some time now.... and the oil leaked past the worn out piston rings and the whole nine. Anyway, i have to replace my engine, how much does a new or refurbished engine for an e39(six cylinders) typically go for?

New or "New to you"?

Salvage yards have engines listed from $2000 to $5500 for running examples. You pay shipping and it's cheaper to ship to a business/shop.

Email me, I can help if you're looking for a used engine.
