I have never seen any of them run, and I would wager they all have blown head gaskets. So, what does HE drive? A W123 240D, of course. Tom Schuch SE Connecticut 1975 W115 300D and a bunch of older BMWs (yes, Fred, they are all older BMW engines: two '89s a 325ix AWD aka The Ultimate Snowmobile :) and a 325ic convertible, a '77, a '78 (parts) and a rare '79 Euro) Message: 4 Date: Sun, 03 Jan 2010 10:12:22 -0500 From: Mitch Haley <m...@voyager.net> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Fwd: 1985 BMW 524TD - $650 (HARTFORD) Message-ID: <4b40b3d6.9040...@voyager.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed LWB250 wrote: > they made me aware of the rather checkered history these things had for heads and head gaskets. When looking at used motorhomes, you often find rebuilt engines in examples that would be regarded as very low miles if it were a car. When you look at diesel Vixens (2.4L BMW turbo), they ALL have rebuilt engines in them, many within the last 5,000 or 10,000 miles (quick, sell it before it blows again).
