Description:

For sale M10 with unknown miles

 

Bob Van Schoonhoven was very active BMW enthousiast in SoCal 02 Community. He passed several years ago and his widow Cheri is selling this M10. Bob worked as parts manager for BMW Ruehman in North Hollywood, and for the Valley Auto Dismantler Association. Please see pictures of this M10 which was part of Bob’s extensive part collection. Condition is unknown, seems to me it was an exchange engine. Bob did know quality parts, additional pictures on request. Please contact Bob’s widow Cheri directly at 661-429-6783 or via email at vanschoon.cheri@gmail.com. Cheri is moving and selling property, reasonable offers will be accepted..

 

Thanks for looking and helping out a former 02 enthousiast’ widow.

I am getting the vibe that there is a lot of good karma wrapped up in that M10.  I wish I was close to CA, but I am in CA, so getting it from CA to CA would be a lot of money.

I'm interested... any way to get a compression check done on the engine? Do you think this engine is drop in ready, or needs a full rebuild/overhaul ?

Highly unlikely.

Sorry for late reply. It is NOT a drop in M10. I would remove head and oilpan first. Perform inspection and take it from there

99.5% of M10's are drop in ready if you dump the oil and check all the basic functioning components.

The Head is an e12 with 1980 casting, it would be nice to know the block casting year

Doesn’t matter. It’s sold already.

Thank you all for the response and support to find a new home for this M10.

 

It's gratifying to know that the 02 community reached out to Cheri.

 

@pramono the casting date stated 17J
