nick.e46.330i. Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 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 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 DUDE. E28 wagon diesel. I would kill for one. didn't know they were made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.e46.330i. Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I was doing a little research and fro what I'm reading they were only avaliable in a few countries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.e46.330i. Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Sounds like a plan. Let me know if they have any e36 compacts. I need a few things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 that would probably be the M21 engine. If so, people use those crankshafts for M20 stroker setups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 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.

wasnt m3 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Fun fact: they put that BMW diesel in Lincoln Mark VII's in the mid 80's too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungCR Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 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! YoungCR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian. Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 wonder if they'd let that thing go for cheaps. Did the motor look salvagable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.e46.330i. Posted May 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
