Re: [MBZ] Mercedes Near me

I completed an engine swap on a 2002 BMW 525i that I had bought in an 
auction, replacement was sold as a running engine out of a 325 series car. I 
guess, I got most everything done right. Have been driving it for at least 5 
years now. No issues with the replacement engine. Previous engine had 
coolant leak into the oil and the car sat for about 6 months, cam was badly 
rusted on top.

Needs a new engine, would be lots of work to sort out what's in there,
and worse since you don't know what happened to it.  Be easier to just
drop in a replacement if you could find one from a knacker.  Price is
too high though for a car with a bad engine.

Looks like there might be a place to live in it too!  WOOOWOOO!

design. Not sure if this is the case?
