Tried PMing I guess it didn’t take.
Curious about the trunk lid - cost, condition.

Re: Complete part out 1986 535i Running/driving
I'm interested in one an antenna if you have one (the mast is broken off on mine) and maybe a RF window regulator and a sunroof motor too, if they work. (My sunroof works, but it's slow and I haven't diagnosed it yet). I just joined (I just bought an E12) - I can't PM you, so I'm not sure how to reach you.
Re: Complete part out 1986 535i Running/driving
The antenna mast can be purchased separately. OEM is very expensive but there are aftermarket options that are less costly.Theotherotter wrote: Jun 28, 2023 11:24 AM I'm interested in one an antenna if you have one (the mast is broken off on mine) and maybe a RF window regulator and a sunroof motor too, if they work.

I've sold al the window regulators and an keeping the sunroof motor.
Put a WTB (want to buy) post in the parts sub forum, you should find what you're looking for.

Thanks for that - always happy to know I can just replace the mast.

B pillar covers ok?
Re: Complete part out 1986 535i Running/driving
No, but I have 2 that are in very good condition. They don't have the seat belt bottom plastic trim.
Shoot me a PM, with contact info, I'll send images.

How about a fuel tank? As in one without rust inside it?
Re: Complete part out 1986 535i Running/driving
Have it, shoot me a pm.
Re: Complete part out 1986 535i Running/driving
Do you have the instrument cluster?
Car is a 1986 535i with 175K miles, life long CA car.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... share_link
Cosmos Blue / Blue interior
Interior is rough, the only parts worthwhile are the center console + HVAC surround, glove box, front Black seats (I need the manual bases)door panels, door caps may be good. It's been pouring rain here and I really haven't had a chance to dig into it.
Good running 3.4 engine with a DOT R head.
Complete 5 speed conversion
Rust free doors/sunroof panel/trunk lid
Full key set with locks
3.25 LSD
Manual conversion- Starting from the front…
Good manual radiator
Getrag 260/6 + all the hydraulics, lines, new brake master cyl & fluid reservoir, clutch master cyl w/ hard & soft lines, clutch slave.
Flywheel, pressure plate, clutch. Clutch feels really good and engages well.
Pedal bracket W/pedals
Shifter carrier & shifter (needs a rebuild) but it’ll be out of the car.
Drive shaft (recommend a new guibo & CSB)
Still in the car if you’re local and want to see the car running/shifting into gear.
Car is located in the Bay Area (94587)

Do you know if this car has the molded padding/insulation that is separate from the carpet?
Re: Complete part out 1986 535i Running/driving
Both are long gone.
Re: off to the scrapper tomorrow - part out 1986 535i Running/driving
How will it drive to the scrapper w no engine and transmission? I'm guessing a can of starting fluid.
Re: off to the scrapper tomorrow - part out 1986 535i Running/driving
Are the hood latches available? I'm looking for a full set, so the pieces on the hood and the receivers on the body.
Re: off to the scrapper tomorrow - part out 1986 535i Running/driving
PM's looking for the upper trunk latch that attaches to the underside of the trunk lid
