Like I did

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

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!

Fine with me, factory turbo kit!

Its pretty much the sole reason for ETA hatred in the E28 community

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!!

It was garbage.  He would let it go for 300 but I think the ECU is fried, he wasn't telling the whole story about what happened, claims he replaced the battery and it wouldn't start right away.  It cranks strong but no spark and no fuel pump, not even the 5 second prime when the key is turned to run.  Would hooking up battery backwards fry it?  Not sure but the fuel pump works fine when the relay is jumpered.  I did not test jumpering the engine control module relay, it is also controlled by the ECU.  I am not sure the sequence of operation as to when that should close.  Unless the problem is that relay I would deduce that the ECU is no good. 

Overall the car was maybe a 2/10.  Rockers made of spray foam and bondo, floor peeling away the seam to the rocker.  Bald tires, rip in driver seat, etc.  Not worth 300 even.
