Also IMO the S50B32 is the best inline 6 BMW has made and in the US being rare. I've soured an engine for 1600 bucks with 6 speed trans. So since the S50B32 isn't widely available in the US i haven't had time to play with one nor see a swap for myself. But thanks for your input
Either the engine/tranny are stolen or that guy has no idea what he's selling is. I'm gonna say he knows what he has because you don't just fall into selling an engine and tranny like that. Please check and double check this out before you buy it, because for $1600 for an s50b32 and 6spd, I'm gonna say it probably pooched, cracked block, overheated head something like that, syncro's in the tranny are shot or ground down, maybe the tranny has had overheating issues. Doesn't seem legit, or like I said it's stolen. People don't just sell that stuff cheap. If it's legit good luck with the swap it should be an amazing combo when finished! But don't burn yourself out of $1600, and make sure you know what an s50b32 looks like, he could try and pull a fast one and sell you an m50/m52/s50 non euro, if you don't know the difference.
