Definitely NOT the best BMW motor lol. I would say for 2k it is a good project car buy, and those N54s are pretty peppy and fun motors to build.

A $2000 335i? No way it only needs an alternator and battery.

N54s (335i motor) are notoriously some of the least reliable motors from modern BMWs. Odds are it needs a water pump and timing job at the minimum. I'd be super hesitant, that's a "make this someone else's problem" price.

With that said, 335i's are sick when done right. They just require some extra attention.

Here's a post from today where a dude is quoted $12k in repairs and it's nothing even significant.
