Yes, it was the original M20, matching numbers to boot. I grabbed the rear view mirror for our 2002, but the car was in amazing shape for that many miles. The leather seats were still intact! My favorite of the M engines is the 1968-83 2.0 M10, very reliable. After that, the 1.8 e30's were a piece of junk.benrk wrote:holy cow! 472 000MLS??? on a gasoline BMW M20? that thing must have gotten more timing belts than many other cars spark plugs! were you able to verify wether it was the original engine?
That 850 was also in really good shape for the miles on it. Old European cars for the win!
