dont know too much about bmw race engines tbh , so would be unfair for me to comment on what the engine is worth, without , a) dyno sheet, and , b) a drive in a car with that engine , but , to me , i wouldnt pay £10,500 for any engine full stop, unless we were talking something special , something really special
, and i doubt very much it would have come from a crap car
