I have one from an E36. Still has the GM 4-speed automatic too. I'm in Pittsburgh, if you're anywhere close I'm sure we can work something out. I'm also unsure of mileage, but I can run a compression test and snap some pics of the timing chain.

I have one in my 1992 E36 318iS (original motor M42B18) that has 195k and is daily driven what would you be offering?

Do you only need the engine or are you interested in the 5 speed manual transmission aswell?
