Bmw Update.. The Real Problem!!!!!
 

Today my mech. came to my job to get a toner drum and gave me the news. You need to come in and have a talk with me....... The bottom end is bad :eek: :eek: The crank is causing all the timing trouble. I wanted to cry. :(
What to do what to do...........................................
Figured I would share

1) Rent yourself a cherry picker...

Sigh... sorry to hear about the problem Dan. Looks like major trouble... :(

Planned on it after I got another car but now.................
I don't know what to do I like the car but I would like to keep it good on gas mileage untill I can afford a gas guzzler

Why don't you get the engine that was made for that car, The M5 Engine? Its a pretty easy swap.

Find a 3.3 liter or 3.5 liter (the original BMW Big Six, as used in everything from Bavarias to the E34 M5 in final 3.8 liter 340 hp form.....) from an E28 and drop it in. Now that you have this option, why drop another 2.7 liter "eta" engine in?

Well I can find other 2.7 blocks in the junk yard no problem so thats an up side.
As for the M engine I'm not into pay 8k for an engine that parts will kill me later on.
I thought about a 3.3 or 3.5 and it is still an option but I have the entire top end on my in perfect condtion. (just rebuilt)
I will find out on tuesday what the mech. thinks and i will post again.
thanks
