the car was running fine except for a battery drain. i replaced the alternator in hopes of solving this issue but unfortunately after getting it in and turning the key, nothing.
i had very little experience with this things and really do not know what went wrong. the only mechanic i had known to work on these cars has just sold his business and unfortunately i can not have it in my driveway longer. i am considering scraping it but decided i would post it here if anyone was interested. i also have an video of the engine running from a month or two ago and it sounds like a tank. engine has a lot of potential and even with its cosmetic issues it is still an awesome car. i would hate to see it go to a junkyard. 5 speed manual 144,000mileage open to offers

Do you intend to expand on this? As of this writing, you have no description other than the title and there's only one pic (of the VIN).

Sounds about right
Re: FS: 1986 E28 535i
there is a crack in the dash.
car does not start.
i had a problem with the battery draining. Unfortunately, despite recent installation of brand new 90 amp alternator, now when i turn the key nothing happens. i am very new to working on car so i have no real idea what is causing this
was running fine before then. needs cosmetic working. otherwise solid car fun to drive. can not leave it sitting any longer but willing to part with it for a premium price!
this is a rare model

It won't start
It's gotta go

This was the most enjoyable posting I've read on the Internet today. That first photo almost made my hernia explode I laughed so hard... Thank you for sharing.Blue Shadow wrote: ↑Nov 26, 2021 2:14 AM At least he got the important info in the recent post:
