Thanks, Joe!
I sent a response to your e-mail, but here's the copy for others:
I appreciate your responses!!

It was a problem. Make sure you get a car that has had the block replaced, or one that is still within the warranty
period (6 yr, 100k).

BUT: What's the chances of the problem not showing up 'till AFTER the 100K mile point (you know...... "just my luck")?? Obviously, I'd LOVE to have one that's already had the engine swapped.

If you can afford a 540, get one.

I was just talking with someone else, who told me that there WASN'T a 528 made in '95, and that the only 5's they made were the 525, 530, and the 540. Hm-m-m-m, is that true? This same fellow told me that the 530 had a 6 cyl engine, but I thought that the 530 had a "short block" V-8 engine? By the way, did the 530 engine have the same probs as the 540 engine?
