Engine is now totaled. PART OUT! silver 01 e53 3.0
 

Just found out pistons are done for, after $4,000 worth of repairs, so I'm parting it out. Everything is available.
Black leather interior
style 87 replicas perfect condition,
business cd
anything else just let me know.

NOTE: Cylinder head was just resurfaced, and is basically brand new. Head is uneffected by the problem, so I will be parting that out as well. Coils are good, even spark plugs are brand new. have a DISA valve as well, not even installed. front and rear brake pads NIB. Front right sway end link, in packaging.

Call and Text if you want, 203-570-2226. Leave a message if I don't pick up.
will upload pictures when I get home

Sorry to hear that. Are you parting out the entire car or just motor parts?

You can get a used I6 for under a grand...

How much for Wheels shipped to Canada? Also, do you have running boards?

Complete DVD and NAV system with wires and everything?

Do you have a MID with working pixels? Would consider that as mine is shot... Also, do you have the cargo net in the trunk?

I didn't understand your first question, sorry. What net you're talking about? That net on the trunk floor to hold small objects? If yes, not, I have not this net.

Yes, correct - that net. The mid is the thing under the cd player - has on board computer functions

nomercy - where?

Thatd be amazing, but I'd be VERY weary of anything under 2 grand

Agreed that you can find a good used M 54 engine for around a grand with about a 1 year warranty. Call some reputable salvage yards before you throw in the towel. The M 54 engine was used in lots of BMW models of that era so their plentyful.

A side question: Why did you have to spend $4k on repairs to diagnose a damaged engine? Why was the head resurfaced? If it was piston damage due to foreign matter, the shop should have been able to peek in a spark plug hole and see. At most, you should have been charged for a removal of cylinder head to determine he engine was toast; probably a $800-$1000 job at most.
