They are very hard to find. Very few were imported to the U.S. and most of those that were are very old now - 20+ years and ??? miles. And, it's very likely they were driven hard during that time. IMHO, with one of those, as old as they are, all you're buying is a rebuildable core engine.
The '89-'93 M30 makes almost as much horsepower, more torque at lower rpm, has the new-style valve stem seals, bigger valves, bigger ports, and is much less likely to be worn out.
