i pulled a m10 and wiring from a junkyard 320i this morning for no other reason than the yard owner said i could have anything off the car i wanted if i pulled a motor and trans from a suburu for him. so ive got a m10 sitting on the stand in my shop. what do i do with it?

i drug home a pickup load of shit and i gotta go back tomorow and get all the seats out of it. may try to talk him out of the 2 baby 6's that are in the other 2 junkers

Sell the manifold, sensors, etc to 2002 owners that want fuel injection on their M10s.

build it up and turn it into a race engine and put it in an 85 318

thats a idea. the price was right i really cant say no to free anything lol as far as the block and head goes i may tear it down and repaint it with motorsport stripes on the valve cover and rebuilt it and sell it too. or maybe ill keep the whole damn thing for my '02. m10 turbo with 2 tb's sounds like a tasty combo for a stripped '02\

Congrats...let me know if you get a line on any other old e30s for $250. I'll be getting rid of one in a month or so and I'll have some space for the next project...

If he has six of them, he needs some counseling. I'd be glad to help with that.
