new member needs engine

hi my name is callahan and this is my 240d




my grandparents bought this car new and i got it when i turned 16 and drove it most of high school. had it painted black for my 17th birthday. put a stereo in it did a few other odds and ends and beat the hell out of it typical high school story. now its sitting in my driveway in dire need of a new engine. now i'm 20 and my other projects are finally on cruise mode and i'm ready to dive into this one and be able to drive it again.

i'm ready to move on a used engine so if anyone can help or point me in the right direction that would be great. something in the GA AL area would be ideal. any help is appreciated

i was told only a 4 or 5 cylinder non turbo engine would fit the automatic tranny in my 240d is this true or will any w123 engine fit? i'm not too familiar with these engines so any info or advice would be awesome

thanks for looking
Callahan

I can't offer any help on the 240D, but the bug looks great!
