I got a new engine on order.
It's an N52 out of a manual trans 2011 128i with 88k miles. It got totaled after taking a hit to the front left side but the engine bay is untouched. $1300+shipping is what I paid. Shipping is $275. Fun fact, this 128i was made within a week of my 328i!

I got my old engine on a stand and stripped down to just the long block. This thing is so clean, its such a shame I ruined it, but oh well.
