Just had some tire work done on the Sentra, and outside the shop was a clean M6 635csi. High in the front, no engine. Hmmm. Bad thoughts. What would fit into that big hole up front? I would think that having no engine currently would probably make the owner open for low dollar offers, no? Car looked pretty good, SoFla car, no rust at all. Decent interior. What say you, my enabler friends?

Seeing how the most expensive part of the car is out of it, low ball them and go from there. Always love'd those cars.

M30 is what it came with, unless it was an M6, then it had the uber expensive S38.

M30 + ARPs and O-ring'd block + turbo + E85 = 500+ hp EASILY.

M30s are dirt cheap.

LS1 for sure.

No reason to keep it in the family unless you go with an S85 or something equally expensive. S52 is less power than the S38 that the car originally came with...

Clearly, the answer is a Wankel anything. With lots of turbo and peripheral port.
