Like 236K...very high mileage. I've never done a compression check on it, but if you're interested I'd see if I can get it tested. Not sure how it'd get to NY from here, I've never shipped motors...

You can register at carpart.com and see what they have to offer. I have a high-mileage M42 that could fit, but an OBD2 M44 is what you'd need.

What happened to the motor?

Ended up waiting too long and it sold...for only $1K AND with a spare set of rims (if I have my facts correct). That's the second one I've missed, but I'll nab a cheap one sooner or later!

Can you take the battery to a shop to have it load tested? They'll do it here for free at local auto parts stores. Best way to make sure it's good IMHO.

I heard that too - OBD2 supports over-the-wire firmware updates with no need to open the case.

'97 318Ti Pgh, PA

'97 5-speed. Unfortunately needs a head gasket...but has two sets of tires. Does $1800 seem like a decent deal?

I can take a look-see if anyone is interested.

I'd trade you my '91 318i sedan if I didn't love it so much. Needs too much work anyway. Your car looks to be in really great shape though, good luck with the sale!
