Buying M5 motor

[BigEarl325is]

I'm interested in buying an E39 M5 motor but I'm not sure where to start looking. I'd like to buy it brand new. I would even buy rebuilt but I would prefer brand new. Could anybody help?

Did you try contacting Hartge? I know they can custom install the M5 engine into the Z4 and M3. Maybe they can help you out.

Look at all these guys from Jersey. Where in Jersey do you guys live. You see what I'm trying to do is purchase an M5 engine from a man who bought his from a dealer but I'm trying to get it off of his hands for less than what I might pay somewhere else. In that case I need to know how much they're going for in the first place. Thanks guys

What's the 5.0 Liter V8 going to be for?

 

[BigEarl325is]

I'm going to forgive you considering you're new to BMW. The M5 motor does not mean it's 5 liters. It's actually 4.6 liters.

Actually Big Earl - you should forgive yourself because you're wrong.

The E39 M5 has a 4941cc V8 engine. 4.94 Liters. Most people round up and call it 5 liters.

It is certainly not 4.6 liters as you stated.

Might want to check your facts before posting.

Really? Wow, where the hell did I get 4.6 then. I feel like an idiot now.
