Old turbo diesel engine

[nick.e46.330i.]

So a couple of weeks ago I went to a junkyard out by sheboygan to get some stuff for my mk2 and they had a couple bmws there. I checked them out. And there was a six cylinder turbo diesel engine in one of them. I'm not sure what it was in. I think it was an e28 wagon though. Were these harder to find?

[Rowleym]

DUDE. E28 wagon diesel. I would kill for one. didn't know they were made.

[nick.e46.330i.]

I was doing a little research and fro what I'm reading they were only avaliable in a few countries

[Earl]

They never made an e28 version from the factory. There were a few modified to be tourings from outside companies. I know that the e28 did come in a diesel variant and I believe Canada got them. Go back and get the vin.

[nick.e46.330i.]

We are going there tomorrow. I'll get the Vin. It might not be a wagon. My memory wants to say it was but not 100% sure. And ill take a couple pics of it as well.

[Earl]

Sounds like a plan. Let me know if they have any e36 compacts. I need a few things.

[B C]

that would probably be the M21 engine. If so, people use those crankshafts for M20 stroker setups.

The US/Canada got the 524TD e28's with the M21 diesel engine and automatic transmission. I would love to have a TD! It would not be a touring though as Earl said, all E28 touring are coach built and very rare.

[Brian.]

Don't use the crank in an M20 build, take the whole god damn motor and use the TD. Let us know, as I'd go in debt to get a TD for my E28. Seeing as A.Stirrett refuses to sell me one of his priceless gems.

Like others stated, if it's an E28 touring coach built, it's rare as fuck.

Fun fact: they put that BMW diesel in Lincoln Mark VII's in the mid 80's too.

[nick.e46.330i.]

The Vin number on it is wbadb2402g0533024. And it was a sedan. There was a wagon next to it. Haha. I got a pictures of it on my phone. I will upload them tonight. And it had 121k on the clock too.

[Earl]

Poor girl:(

[Bassboy3313]

I wanna put that thing in my e21 now!

[YoungCR]

Why can't there ever be a rear ended E28! At least Brian can get a drivers door off it maybe. What yard is this located in?

[Brian.]

You know if I went there I wouldn't be walking out with taht door. I'd be walking out with the TD, trans and driveshaft. hahaahaha. Give me the info of that place!

The name of the place is Lima auto enterprise. It's outside of sheboygan falls. The number for the place is 9204673411

[Brian.]

wonder if they'd let that thing go for cheaps. Did the motor look salvagable?

[nick.e46.330i.]

I really didn't look at it in depth. But it looked salvageable. At that junkyard they also have 2 e30s, an e36, a 5 series wagon(not sure what generation), a couple porches, and a handful of volkswagons and audis
