My 325i Sport

This car is going to HAUL some serious business now!

 

[Gizmo]

So when stripping the motor this weekend we discovered that none of what was promised was infact inside the motor.

I was told it had a 2.7 unskimmed head, E36 328i crank conrods and pistons (which would make it a 2.8 litre).

It infact has a reground M20B25 crank and stock 325i pistons with E36 325i rods and a skimmed 2.5 litre head and the motor isnt in great shape.

Cambelt is tired, needs a head gasket and rings are worn.

So much for the motor having had a rebuild....

Only new gasket on the car is the tappet cover gasket.
:thumbdo:

Moswanted sold his Avus blue 4door m3 to a fellow fanatic who brought the car to me just after he bought it, it was in a shocking state and felt like a rebuild driving down the road. The parts list of stuff needing replacement was longer than my arm, I fixed a few things but the owner decided to cut his losses and sell it as it was going to cost waaayyyyy too much to get into a satisfactory condition. So Rhett, you weren't the only one burned by Moswanted's dodgy BMWs.:nonono:

Hey there Rhett,

How is your motor coming on bro....its sad to see it in someone elses hands, but I know its at a fine stable!

Just to pick up after reading your thread, the owner of your car took you for a sucker, nowadays, when someone says - this and that has been redone, Im like, ja, whatever!

I was burnt the same way, and realised selling my car would be too much of a loss, hence the drive to push for a simpler and quicker option...327 Chevy.....!

To date, the car has cost me over 60k and its still not running....the motor and goodies were the only real value in the car, but i happily gave it up...and I could honestly tell you what was in it, cause after also been spun a k@k story, I was also misinformed about my motor and its internals...but the best way to know what you getting into, is crack it open and check it yourself.....!

Im happy to see that my old motor will breath some life into your car....Keep it up....!
