I saw one of those with a Metric Motors tag in a 240D in the wrecking yard. It looked like a brand new engine, but I think the valve cover had a hole in it and the camshaft was broken. Such a shame. It still may have been a good engine if the valves and camshaft were replaced.

Mark82--short block means something like just the block without the head, while a long block would be a complete engine and possibly with injection pump.
