2 months later, valve clatter, running poorly, determine that oil is low, 1k mi after tear-down for clutch and (effective) level II service (2 green lights remain today). 6 mo later, 2k mi, engine is junk with shavings in oil pan. We simply can't take it anymore. what is a LSx swap?

LSx swap is putting a GM motor/trans in it.

Having done the Chev 350/700R4 conversion to a Jag XJ6 lll, If this comes out anything like that it would be GREAT...
The Chev conversion was really easy with every part available from Johns Jags in TX, it was basically a bolt in.... How hard could the X5 with a manual be? Maybe even depending on where you live, get rid of the front drive assembly...??

~140k mi, presently located at DM BMW in Iowa.
I will need to play wheel swap as no one seemed to care much for my choice of wheels, it will be left with my 57's (winter wheels) and Pirelli Zero's with approx 4k tread remaining. all else stays (4.8i exhaust, DEPO front/rear lights, ipod connection) as well as a brand new clutch, most door and window mechs replaced in last two years, all new shifter bearings etc,calipers cleaned/painted black) Vehicle has an unfortunate scratch down the side that we don't know when/how it occurred, seems to be a white plastic material that might buff out, no metal damage. One scuff on black plastic up front. Entire front was cleaned up, buffed out and repainted 2011 when headlights were installed, looks new/good excepting scuff. Non-sport Interior very good, but has had smokers. some pics in album albeit without the pictured wheels. more here: http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...tml#post849760 http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...tml#post857811 All service performed/recorded at DM BMW, approx $8k. They inspected the drive-line today and stated that it -was- worth popping in a BMW-remanufactured heart, we have not completely decided that we are unwilling to pay the $7500 plus labor to do so. (used engine is cheaper, of course). Ebay presently has a sport version of this selling at $9k-reserve not met, so I guess I will see if/where the offers fall.

posting to Craigs tomorrow, gonna ask $3500 and see what happens -- no idea What to ask, to be honest.
sorry that this wound up looking like an ad, I didn't know there would be interest, I was looking for advice. (to mods, I am a past premiere member and plate-frame owner, fwiw)

I bought my 01 X5 w/ iForged 20's for $8k w/ 13xk on the clock. My buddy just bought an 01 540i touring from a junkyard for $1300 that only had a failing EDC and a mismatched wheel, otherwise it seems fine. $3500 is a starting point, but I wouldn't hold your breathe on selling it like that unless you find someone like myself who's mechanically inclined enough to handle the engine swap.
