Dropped Price.  Looking to make room in the garage and get this to someone who will give it some TLC.

Trade for a pickup or van preferred...

Bump.

I'm considering parting, but would much rather sell as a whole.  It's a good running/driving car, no sense in parting it...

I've got a good running/driving E30 for sale...   I'm considering parting it, but I'd rather sell it whole (at a reasonable price) than go through the time and effort.

New Years Bump.

I'm a bit flexible on the price if you bring your own wheels...

Christmas Bump.

My daughter was born last week - Time is very tight and I'd like to get this in the hands of someone who can give it the TLC it deserves...

I'll probably part in a month or two if it doesn't sell...

WTB/WTT / WTB Airbox/Intake elbow

« on: November 15, 2010, 08:57:28 PM »

Hi,

I've got a setup currently on my car.   Intake elbow is less than one year old, bought new from German Auto Parts.    Airbox is good, with a decent air filter in it.

How much could you offer for it, shipped...

It's looking pretty neat and tidy so-far.

Could you take one or two closeup pics of the bracket on the driver side that you have the fuses and (diagnostic?) plugs on?    Looks good.

Electrical / fuel pump/non-start issues - been doing lots of research, still NEED HELP... please >

My M42 Powered E30 recently died in similar fashion.

After reading this thread, I went out and checked the resistance of the Crank Position Sensor, and it read high.  I traced the wire from the plug (under intake manifold) down to the sensor head and found that the wire was rubbing on a pulley and wore through...

Now, can anyone point me to a reputable online vendor that sells the Crank Position Sensor for a reasonable price?  (The Cam sensor is easy to find, but Crank Sensor seems elusive).   It's part number 12-14-1-721-968

Someone linked BAVauto which has it listed for $155.  Is there any place that has it for less?
Pelican Parts lists it as a special order part, at dealer pricing of $177

On a similar note:   Here is the Real OEM diagram that has the part number for the Crank Postion Sensor
(Item#11 "Pulse Generator")
