Need Used 3.0 Engine for my 2004 6M/T
133k miles on my beautiful X5 with the 6-speed manual but unfortunately I am almost certain I have a head gasket leak that is building pressure in the cooling system. From what I have gathered if all goes well a head gasket replacement is $5k but the studs usually strip when tightening the head back on, so then you need a new engine.
It seems the logical thing would be to swap in a used engine. Or I could part the entire vehicle out or sell as is. What would you do? How hard is it to replace the engine? All options are expensive...
