New Engine

Has anyone put in a new engine (either used or not) into a Mini Cooper S (R53)?

I have an R53 and I want to put a new engine into, but I don't know how much it will cost me and some of the issues I may be faced with. The car has a lot of sentimental value to me so keeping it is of the upmost importance.

Thanks,

PM me if you have any questions. I've no regrets. No car payment for the last couple of years, and about 30k on the new drive train so far.

Cheers,

Charlie

Why do you need a new engine?

Why the need for a new engine? Any issues with your current one? If so, is a rebuild out of the question? More information would be very helpful.
