Any one in Atlanta want to do an engine swap? X5 3.0

This is not a for sale ad.. just offering a tip for anyone looking for to do an engine swap. This is a great candidate.

'03 X5 3.0 sport package w/180k miles . Needs an engine. Probably overheated.

I am traveling for business and found this near the Atlanta Airport. I like the color and went to see it. This X5 is in very good, stock condition with no obvious damage/major wear on the exterior /interior. It does have 180k miles, but has no rust. If it were closer to home I would buy it. I have even thought about shipping an M54B30 down, swapping motors on a weekend and driving it home...just can't make it work

Yes. I forgot to confirm whether it had an OE hitch, but looking at photos I see a thicker 2-inch square receiver which usually indicates it’s the OE version. It’s a nice thing to have, but complete OE hitches with harnesses/module are still worth $500+ IMO

Under the hood it is completely stock and unmolested. However, there was no coolant in the expansion tank.

Anybody want to trailer it to Boston for me? The engine swap candidates up here are usually too rusty.

I have a truck/trailer at home, but it's too far for a round trip ...maybe 2500 miles RT, But I haven't priced out a one-way Uhaul truck and tow dolly rental from Atlanta...I guess I will run some numbers.
