Blown motor!

[14M6GCoupe]

Any idea if is even worth it renuilding the motor or just buy a used motor somewere, no warranty!

I would rebuild. You never know what kind of problems you are going to get with a used motor. At least after being rebuilt you know it's good and if there are any issues with the build usually the shop will give you a 12-24 month warranty on the engine. Add all those things up and rebuilding is usually better than a used motor. What happened to your motor? Do you know if the block is ok?

[malcoll]

yeah...share what happened? How long have you owned it... what's the mileage?

[14M6GCoupe]

I own the car for less then 6 months some how the car barely had oil and the motor just lock on me, im guessin the block should be fine im crossing my fingers! The motor had 45k miles, the car was wreck and it had the oil sensor desconnected so thats why we didnt knw the oil was low, just a headeche man any used motor cost more thn 10k with over 50k miles

Find a shop that can rebuild the motor and see what it will take and go from there.

Ask in the m5 forum. There are a ton of owners in the m5 forums that have had engines rebuilt.

[kong24680]

Hit up Bklyn_Express he is selling a used motor with only 36k miles. I've chatted with him before and he is a knowledgeable dude.

Like kong24680 said, I have this 2013 year model motor with 36k miles,the good thing about this particular motor is that I knew the owner of the car it came from personally for many years prior to accident, not a Fast driving kid he just loved to drop the top and cruise, his car was bone stock with not even one modification to the car,so that's why I highly recommends this motor. Rebuilding is great also just make sure the mechanic doing the job have a lot of experience, and if your gonna rebuild you might as well upgrade the internals for more power.
