prob 2-3k? maybe less. spend another 2k on tune up parts/fresh clutch. the more you get w the motor the less needs to be moved over.

the packaging is tight, and TBH i haven't worked on these (my R56 was under warranty for my whole ownership). It's still just big kid lego though. Drop the motor out the bottom, dress up the wrecker block and zip it back in. In theory there's no wiring to do at all.

You should do it!!!
So I’m not tempted to…I mean it doesn’t count as a new car if it doesn’t run.
Also let’s see if he’s willing to play ball.

Is the 2-3k+ another 2k assumption based on DIY? How much labour would I be looking at?

for sure that's DIY numbers. this guying is probably selling because the numbers just don't work at a shop.

what's a shop rate these days? 180/hr? more? i really don't know.

Did any of the M156 AMG cars drive better than the others?
My exp is the E63 drove worse than the later LX/LD Charger/Challenger.

Correct - it's getting expensive again to be a car enthusiast. There was a short amount of time where I stopped wrenching because it was cheap enough to not wrench.. but at $180/hr.. back to DIY-ing.

Do you guys actually pay by the hour? Isn't it by job, coughcashdeal price. I've never had any mechanic quote me by hour.

you've never been to a mechanic that's quoted you book time? the dealer is doing cash deals for you?

every legit mechanic on the planet has an hourly rate posted behind the desk.

i just don't know what it is right now.


honestly sometimes i don't think you even have a car.
