It also says the 540i needs new timing belts... it has a chain. I think the m20 was the last BMW engine to use a belt.

To the best of my knowledge it is the only BMW car with a timing belt.

That's what I was thinking but I didn't want to insert my foot in my mouth.

For saying this, you are no longer allowed to buy any M20 replacement parts for your 528e, you are only allowed to order M21 parts.

Good Luck!

Hahaha it's fine, we both look a bit silly now.  I ran through a list of engines BMW made after you posted and somehow concluded that there was no way that any of the other ones could have a belt  even after checking a few that I thought were questionable, like the M30 and M42.

I totally thought the m30 had a timing belt, guess I learned something today

Not a whole car but if I remember correctly an e30 hardtop is super rare

Seems like a hell of a good price to me. Plus hardtops on BMW verts make it look better than the coupes=)

This is a good deal, and yeah they are rare if they have the head liner and all the brackets. I WANT THIS.

Idiots will be idiots. Apparently a guy on BF told him its not an e21 and that it is indeed an e30. Guy insists this is an e21. So much that he offered it to the BF guy for $1k if he's wrong. Wow!!
