Some would suggest to opt for the inline 6, as thats what BMWs r all abt. Base is the 2.2 up to 3.0 variants of the M54 engine. If ur a casual driver, perhaps the 4cyl variant (2.0 or 1.9) wld suffice. U'll b hearing lots of negativity on the N42/46 engine ('new' engine/tech those days, hence some gremlins) . Needs a strong heart (and thick wallet) to handle that. Otherwise, its an excellent drive, when there's no issues.Assuming u got hold of an excellent specimen, yeah the amount wld suffice. Prices of parts hv came down a bit. Watch out for engine oil leaks, likely fm old gaskets or rubber seals. these gaskets n seals are cheap, but workmanship cost a fair bit.</blockquote>
