I've speculated enough to decide that I fancy an M51 to go in my 110, so putting out the feelers to see what's available and how far I'm going to have to open my wallet.
I don't really want to spend more than £300, and the best option would be one that comes with all the ancillaries and wiring/ECU to make it run.
Gearbox isn't that important as I intend to adapt it to work with a V8 land rover box.
What have you got?

*good* m51 engines are hard to come by now.
I can do a complete unit with loom and ecu for 300, but you will need to pay for shipping on top. Or you could collect if you're able to meet my delivery driver. . . Where are you?

West Cumbria.
Having it shipped on a pallet isn't overly expensive so that wouldn't be a problem.
Could you source a Range Rover type sump and oil pump?
Now to scrape a few quid together to get it bought.

It's £100 to ship over from NI. I have a friend who likes to play with RRs I will ask about sump stuff.

That's not bad.
Does your delivery driver come over through Cairnryan and across the A75?
I have a mate in Kirkcudbright who is potentially interested in one as well, and would be able to meet a driver on the 75 quite easily.

Having done a little more reading it seems that only 3 series engines had a front bowl sump, whilst 5 series and most other variants had a rear bowl sump which is what I'd need for a Land Rover installation, so no need to mess about with different sumps and oil pumps.

You might want to check again... E34 and E39 5 series both had M51s and ones front and ones rear.

Just to further fog things up...
Do you have an engine with a rear bowl sump?
