Anyone want a 2.7ltr and manual conversion? (6 cylinder)

Recommended Posts

$1300 -

Comes with free E28 525e - that has just had over 2000 spent on it to get a WOF - then I couldn't be f**ked finishing it (needs 2 new doors + wheel alignment to WOF)

The car is a driver btw -

I did - New radiator +coolant pipes, new leads, dizzy, cambelt, tappets ajusted (thanks Will) - hasn't been driven since. New oil etc etc. New steering sh*t, new pitmen arms in the back.

Basically got bored and didn't finish + my girlfriend doesn't really need a car as we drive to work together now.

Technically it only needs 1 door for a WOF.

Needs a wheel alignment before it could be driven far.

um, uh... i sorta always wanted e28, but kinda $1300 is kinda too much for me... I've seen few m20b27 bottom ends, and after 300k's crank will require a grind and then they recommend nitriding, and that's like $700 just to get crank in order + on top of that you need oversize bearings and pretty much an engine rebuild, i'm going through the same process right now, because in over 2 years now i found only 3 different m20b27 bottom ends and they all have been f****, including one seriously damaged, beyond economical repair - it was out of manual tranny car with trust bearing worn INTO the crank, causing massive crank float - like 2mm, while max my manufacturer spec is like 0.18mm if memory serves me right... if only this engine was serviced it's entire life well then it would be ok, but really you wont know until you take it apart and measure.... but tell you what, if you want to sell me e28 without engine/tranny for cheap then i'd be keen :), but i had to come by and have a looksee :) and then a talky-talky :D

Hmmm, so how long have you had it?

I guess you wouldn't have spent that money recently if you hadn't looked after it prior? It may be an opportunity to do the 2.7 conversion on my e21 after previous failed attempts to upgrade the motor due to scumbags stealing my money...

I'll chat with my mechanic ifyou can let me know if you are still keen to get rid of it for $1000

Cheers

Story:

Bought it sight unseen on trademe - it looked OK.

Got there - guy took my money - I went to see car. It was POS. Started fixing it up for my girlfriend. Girlfriend ends up getting job near where I work so we commute in (no need for E28).

Spent all the money because I'm generally an impulse buyer.

But yes - could be good for your E21.

Car is by far a driver - like I said needs a few things for WOF and DEF needs a wheel alignment as I've put in heaps of new steering parts + tie rods so wheels aren't straight.

Will take 1k for it - let me know shortly (before I pop it on trademe)

Would be keen to take a look. Have spoken to Ernst ( I believe you are familiar with him!) about the prospect, he really only seemed a little concerned about piston slap. Where are you based?

Can you email me on e21 at tritton.co.nz or 021 631 996
