My mate has done his engine in his 320is and wants to drop a 2.3 M3
lump in does anyone have one they want to part with? I know this should
be in the wanted for sale section which I have also done but thought that
there was a better chance of a reaponse on here.

Depends how "done" the 320iS engine is. All you need is a crank, conrods and pistons to make a 2.3 (....2.5 )
E61 520d, slow and buzzy but my wallet likes the mpg.....

piston and valve contact has occurred leaving him with no compression.

Has he taken the head off and looked? It could be worth replacing if the valves didn't break up and knacker the pistons?

Just a thought.
