Where'd you get your 6 bolt motor from? I've been looking to find a good 6 bolt motor for like 3 months now and it's a joke. Every junkyard I've called is a piece of shit, the people who work there don't give a fuck about what they're selling. I ended up buying a 6 bolt motor from LKQ and they damaged the valve cover in transit. Took ~a month for the motor to arrive because the carrier sent it back to LKQ to fix the valve cover and then finally to me. Then when the engine arrived it had obvious burnt oil/sludge when you look down the oil fill cap. It supposedly compression tested at 170 across all 6 cylinders but I have absolutely no proof of that.

Long story short, I'm looking for another engine still. I just need a good, used 6 bolt N54. AWD or RWD, it doesn't matter. 135, 335, 535 whatever idc. Preferably less than 90k miles. It shouldn't be this hard but 9 out of every 10 junkyards I call have their heads up their ass.

Sorry to vent on your post lol, I'm just curious how/where you found your replacement 6 bolt. I'm around Philly btw

I was fortunate enough to find a really low mile 2011 motor for about 2200 on eBay. It had no compression numbers and the seller claimed no leakdown. Runs great, though. I might ask projectmmotors if you haven't yet. I believe you can use a 8 bolt engine, you just need to buy an 8 bolt flywheel.

A 2011? Out of what car? I thought 2010 was the latest unless you were talking about a 335is or maybe a Z4? I've been keeping my searches mainly to 09 and 10 335's and 535s. AWD or RWD I look at them both.

Kinda jealous of your $2200 engine to be honest. Hopefully you bought this earlier than mid-November or something which is when I started looking. I would have gladly snatched up a low mileage 6 bolt for $2200.

I would look at 8 bolt engines but I have an upgraded clutch and steel flywheel which I want to keep.

nissubaru · 02-07-2019, 01:48 PM

Also, thanks for the heads up on projectmmotors, I just got off the phone with him. He's got a 6 bolt engine that's not quite rebuilt yet but can be finished soon and then supposedly one coming in next week. His prices were perfectly in line with what I'm looking to spend (anything more is honestly a ripoff, but that's 99% of the engines I come across).

I'm realllly thinking about going with the rebuilt 6 bolt motor but it almost seems too good to be true. 2+ months ago when I started looking this would have been an absolute no brainer but I've heard so many horror stories about shitty N54 shops that I'm hesitant. The guy was nice and knowledgeable though. Going to think it over. Thanks again

By any chance are you selling the air intake duct/snorkel + screws/bolts? How about cabin air filter cowl/holder?
