You'd be lucky to get one for under £1200 at a guess.

They didn't make a 3 litre did they? I thought it was 4.0, 4.4, 4.6 and 4.9? The 3 litres were all straight sixes?

yes my dads is a 3 litre v8 e34 m reg,
it is quite a rare engine, might get a 4.0 or 4.4 just depends what is available at the breakers really, the company doin the conversion is supplying and fitting so all depends on them.

I see, never knew that, I always thought they were 4 litre or bigger, and the big six (M30) filled the gap between the small six and the V8.
Seems a bit strange they'd have a 3 litre V8, 3 litre small six and 3 litre big six, all at the same time
