I'm guessing I'm just going to have to abandon it here (and have posted it possibly for sale for parts), but if I DO find a used engine I can afford, does anyone have a recommendation on a trustworthy and fair priced repair shop that would install it for me? Or even an idea how I would go about finding such a shop? Ugh - stranded, broke, and NOT happy. | | | 08-12-2011, 08:33 PM | #2 | Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Tucson Posts: 32 | A blind google search brings me to "Utah Imports" close to downtown SLC. I spoke to Dan Smith who seemed very nice. Some research on his end brings him to the price of $3500 for a used engine ($1800 incl shipping), labor ($1300) , and unknowns ($400?). (He hasn't actually seen the car.) Anyone with experience with this shop? | | | 08-12-2011, 09:45 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Gulfport, Florida Posts: 3,208 | Total bummer. Wish you well on getting home and the car issues. John S | | | 08-12-2011, 09:47 PM | #4 | Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Tucson Posts: 32 | Thanks for the kind words. Most inconvenient, to be sure! Still researching my options. | | | 08-12-2011, 09:58 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Halethorpe, MD Posts: 1,028 | Here's a list of BMW specialist shops in Utah from bimrs.org.
