At that price they must be buying those V10's as crate motors along with new oem everything.

That's what I am thinking.  I wonder what it takes to squeeze the v10 in there?  I can't find any e9x race cars that had them, like a GTR or something.

What kind of surprised me is the listed 0-60 time is slower than an e90 M3 with over a 100hp less

No kidding... I can absolutely guarantee you that you could build your very own V10 E90 and save roughly $120K...

Ultra cheap E34 535i/5...looks pretty clean, too! Someone grab this before it gets scrapped, I'm in Minneapolis for work otherwise I would!

Slowmatic  

That is the downside. A five speed swap into it would be perfect=)

I'll have a driveshaft and diff to swap in this soon! Tranny as well but it is a little loud.

I like how in the ad the seller cut the o2 sensor wires to try to get it out, and also claims it isn't running because of the o2 sensor wires being cut.

I caught that to!  Cutting the o2 won't cause it to not run... go ahead and ask me how I know lol.  Cutting the wires makes sense when you're in the moment until you realize that o2 sensors NEVER COME OUT OF A BMW!  I have yet to have one that I didn't have to rethread or weld on a new o2 bung.

Depending on what wire are shorted at the hacked off end it may cause a no start. I had the o2 cable get melted on the ex manifold of my e30 and it wouldn't start because it was pulling down the ecu voltage. If this fella would just unplug the connector it would start right up most likely. Unless there are other problems, it looks as though it sat for a long time.

It definitely ran or Todd got it running=P

[pointofdeparture]

Let's get real here, it's an M30 with less than 200k...there can't be THAT much keeping it from running!

It was already at the shop by the time you posted it.  Very clean it is not.  I filled the tires with air, stuck a battery in it and blasted around in it.  Sounds good with no muffler too.
