Check out www.car-part.com There are numerous used CA/AirPump Engines (if that's what you have) in the $1500 - $750 range. There are MANY more normal engines ranging from $3000 - $600 |  |  | | 04-18-2006, 12:23 AM | #17 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Halethorpe, MD Posts: 1,028 |
Something else to consider. I've always thought that I would go this route if something happened to my engine. The performance upgrade gets you a ported, polished, and balanced engine for $4500. They claim a 20% hp increase over stock (that's about 165). They may even buy your old one. Whatever you do, good luck. http://www.bavengine.com/engine.html | | | | | 04-18-2006, 12:48 AM | #18 | | doesn't care about you. Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Denver, CO Posts: 3,925 |
Hugo - Have you thought about parting out your car? You could probaby make some decent money off of it, then you could just buy another Ti with all the money, you'd probably have enough money left over to buy a supercharger too. __________________

It seems like nothing besides a S/C makes power for the M42/M44. | | | | | 04-18-2006, 05:41 AM | #21 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Richmond Hill, GA Posts: 1,231 |

Find a used 2.5L for dirt @$$ cheap, then put like a Paxton blower or something centrifugal on it. That'd be pretty quick. | | | | | 04-18-2006, 09:55 AM | #24 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: England, UK Posts: 1,288 |

seems stupid going into considerable debt (monthly payments) for the purpose of a car. Don't you plan for future?
I spend a fair bit of money on cars, but i put alot away aswell. __________________

insurance would be really cheap for a 19-yo on a 330 or an m3 too, i'd imagine. keep in mind if all you have is the lowest common denominator of insurance, your car won't be covered if you trash it. oh wait, when you finance a car, they won't let you do that because they want their end covered in case something happens. i would recommend putting another 4-cyl in. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles

and they'll both be PAYED OFF in 3 months (the bmw is already payed off)
so i have money for mods if i want them, gas cause ill want to drive them, and honies who will want to get in them __________________
