M5 engine/harness install...

Got an offer from a friend telling me he has an M5 engine and harness for sale. 42K Kms, and he's asking $10K CDN ($8000 USD) installed. Should I bite?

Re: M5 engine/harness install...

I'm guessing in his 540/6...

For $10k Canadian, you could probably get more hp out of your car by adding a supercharger. And you'd avoid the transplant issues.

Just my opinion...

Re: M5 engine/harness install...

Yeah that's what I was thinking even though I wouldn't even go to the extent of S/C my car. I have other plans to bring me into M5 territory. Besides the exhaust would be the biggest issue with that transplant. Do you guys still think that's a good price for an S62 w/ harness?
