My engine seized on my e70 and i had to make a similar call on put $ towards next car. Decided to replace the motor. Did the work with a friend took ≈ 20 hours and was happy in the end, 1/4-1/3 the price of a similar car that would have had similar miles to the replacement motor but now i have all new external hoses and gaskets.

As [mention]EODguy [/mention] mentioned, it's not a terrible DIY and pretty satisfying as well.

Pretty low miles for an everything change you might be able to split that up to front this year rear next year.

I hear about two auction sites: bring a trailer and cars and bids. Never have used but have had people that do send me links.
