Car is currently at Bimmerwerks in Beltsville, MD
May be relocated to Silver Spring, MD

Engine has no compression, so everything else must go. Come pick and pull, local pickup preferred on the big items

Come get the car for $700 as is, or get parts

Sold:
Nothing yet

I can get pictures most evenings or on the weekend :smile:

And no this isn't my '96 328ti :tongue:

Dang, what happened to the motor?

If the exhaust mid pipe is in decent shape I'm interested.

Cali-top motor for me?! (did I beat BlackBMW's to one finally?)

Ha, sounds good. How can I confirm it works for you? I've never tried to open the top

Color?

arctic silver

Not exactly sure. I think they can be bench tested with a battery.

I'd take it for parts either way, so perhaps assume it is working and I can try to bench test it and if it's not we can work something out.

That might work!

Just curious, how much would you charge for the radiator lower housing? I just bought one from http://www.bmwdiscountparts.com and am thinking that maybe used was the way to go?

Haha! You're the man Bradestar.! Good to be on your toes. [emoji41]

12v to the motor to see if it operates without skipping is a good start. The real test is under load of a top. What I do is just open the motor up and check all the gear teeth. Toothless gears don't work so well. At minimum, you hope the top gear (installed) is intact.

any one have a good gear from top motor mine is skipping works just not smooth flat spot in one gear

dont mean to jack this thread but Bradestar do you have a bad cali top motorwith maybe one good plastic gear

How are the inner hatch plastics (#6 here: http://realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showpart...diagId=51_2163 , #1,#5, #6, and #7 here: http://realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showpart...diagId=51_2181) and the passenger rear speaker cover (mine has the parcel shelf clip broken)? I am looking for plastics without any scuffs or cracks/cuts like my current ones. I am pretty much looking for ones in "like new" condition so I won't get my hopes up haha.

I'll work to get around to all the inquiries asap

The car isn't a gem by any means, I'll take a look and post pics

Your a good sport BlackBMWs. Thanks for that.

Smark, I tried PM'ing you but couldn't (something in your settings). Sorry I can't help you with that request.

Hatch, whenever you are ready send me a PM with details. Appreciate ya.
