Yes, the car is in great condition at 110K miles. Got the 60K used engine out of a wrecked 330i.
The previous owner had gone through a string of lots of expensive repairs over the past two years and a cracked coolant tank and busted engine pretty much took the cake for her and she was ready to leave it abandoned in the work parking garage.
She was asking 2K, I offered 1K on the spot and she took it and handed me the keys and title.
I found the used engine and a guy to put it in. Then I've fixed all the cosmetic things as well, new window regulator on one window (what a pain), new floor mats, new tires, and a few other things here and there.
After I get the ding depot paintless ding / dent repair to fix a few dings the car will pretty much be back to showroom condition.
You'd never know it's not the original engine, either.
