    did i find a treasure a my local junk yard?

    ok so i found what looked to be either a old 80's 6 series or 5 series (with that angled front bumper. THe car had euro bumpers, it was at the junkyard but it wasnt hit or anything. But it had a m30 i believe b/c it had 3.2/3.5 stamped on the back of the intake manifold.

    But what really surprised me was that when i looked in the trunk i saw a small intercooler wrapped in a garbage bag. then when i picked up the bag thhere was a rather large turbo sitting under it. I just thought it was from another car and somebody either hid it there or just threw it in there.

    But i look in the engine bay and i see a weird turbo manifold for it with a wastegate. So im thinking i may have come up on something. THe manifold didnt look custom (w/ funky unprofessional welds and what not). Maybe this car was a 524td, i dont know.

    They wanted 100 for the turbo, but it had shaft play. IF its not a normal 524td, ill try to go back and snap a few pics.

    IIRC the 524 still uses the M20 but just the diesel variant. I dont think they made a big 6 diesel. It could be a turbo from the old 745i, it used a big 6 with a turbo.
    Im now E30less.
