Cost? In WW2, or value today as parts? Some people who restore planes need parts, in fact I have a book about some collectors who went to the Soviet Union to find old military aircraft, they found dealing with the Russians was costly with everyone with their hand out , that after it was over it wasn't worth going, as everything had to be completely restored after the stuff was sent back by American company's and the cost to do the restoration far exceeded the value. So anyway I would say whatever you could get, but shipping is also expensive , and sometimes parts like this are not allowed to leave the country even though they are sent after they open the boxes no inspect the contents....so risky is the word.

Thanks for the reply! Interested in the cost to date of everything on the photos!? Regarding transport costs and problems which may arise during transport I'm aware of. With this type of engine is a bit easier it is radial,not inline V12.

The value is only the testimonial value as historical piece. If the plane has some history the piece may interest some collectors or museums. As source of spares for flying aircraft your engine is worthless, as nobody normally would use crash engine parts to fly today. Also the BMW 132 is a relatively "common" engine and not really sought after, there are no a/c using them today other than a few Ju 52s and most of these fly today with post war Hornets or Cyclones to avoid problems with spares.

It is just a nice display item.
