This is another idea too, buy a low mileage good running M116 and drop it in...

Or I suppose a M117 could too but I think there would have to be electronics change overs. EZL/ECU for sure.

I think my shop charged me somewhere around 600-800 to swap in a different M103 in my 190E. I figured $2,500 all said and done to buy a motor, address whatever seals/external things that you should do while its out and drop it in.

Or buy a rebuilt motor.

Adsit lists on at $5600 but they provide no details (suppose I could call) but I have not heard many good things about them. Idk.

Metric Motors is $8900.
