Can you define given up the ghost a bit Darren, overheated/smoking/seized, etc, lots of engine problems can be solved without changing the full engine. Been there a few times.
1998 it'll be the same as mine, if you're searching ebay it's the 1.9 Twincam, M44 1.9, M44b19 or any variation on those.
Simmons BMW in Livingston, or, BMW Spares Lochgelly often have them, there's another bloke, who's name i can't remember, and don't have my phone on me at the mo.

Eww, either no oil or a pump failure.
Maybe still saveable, depends on if your mate works for beer, and whether it’s done a rod .
Engine out job certainly.
Will depend on the cost of a running engine.

Talk to Gordon Spence in Dundee on 01382 815993.

He bought a rotten Z3 1.9 with a good engine not long ago.

I was at https://www.bmwspares-scotland.com/ today, Lochgelly in Fife.
He has a 1998, 1.9 he’s just about to break, genuine 79,000 miles.

Yes, he’s about to break the whole car, red leather interior, decent hood, sills and rear wings are rotten, as are (IMO) the rear arms. No cat. I’m hopefully getting the bonnet to replace the dented mess I currently have.
R727SSD is the reg.
