Tried PMing I guess it didn’t take.

Curious about the trunk lid - cost, condition.

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.

The antenna mast can be purchased separately. OEM is very expensive but there are aftermarket options that are less costly.

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.

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.

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)
