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.

Found my rear brake upgrade and LSD. He wants 600 for the whole rear setup, seems a little high to me, thoughts? Supposedly only had 86k. From a 99 m3 vert.

Thanks for posting about this one. I came across it while searching for M42s. Don't know anything about the anti-theft systems, but I figured it would be easy to reset. If it was a runner I would be interested in it for the motor. I don't have any way of moving non-running cars

I would pass even on it even for the engine, it did not look well taken care of. Electrical tape on the spark plug wires, very dirty, and inside the valve cover looked like oil changes were not a priority.

The "anti theft" is just a relay above the drivers left knee, pull the relay and put a jumper in to bypass. Pretty high tech.
