@Arde thank you for fast reply….i hope so….i am VERY understanding , willing to work with someone / anyone who is serious about these parts and not asking for the moon…very likely not even asking for equal value…just looking for someone who can actually use them in their projects…

@halboyles ok thank you for your reply…i am at the CT spot/bmw shop this Sunday midday hours where items are…can take pic of Getrag Trans and share with you then….as shared initially, main focus is to find people who can actually use items for their own projects..

People will buy the E28 window motors from you as retrofits for their E9's. I'm sure you will get a buyer for the M30B35 motor as well.

I think that will be a 260 transmission, not a 265/6.

If that is the case, I probably can't use it on our '71 coupe.

The first 535i cars in America were a bit of a mess until September of 1985 - the first model year. They actually used a getrag 265/6 until September and from then on they used the 260/6. One year only - September 1984 to September 1985.
Always worth checking the VIN when you search a 535i in the junkyard, you could get lucky and get a good Tranny. Sort of a secret stash deal for tranny guys- 5er, 6er and 7er all got the one year only getrag 265/6 coveted tranny. You do have to put in the speedo gears to make them work in our coupes. The other stash tranny was the e30 M3- needless to say you don’t see too many of those!

Thank you for that information Don. If it is a 265, I could definitely use it.

[70sRescueGuy]

[sfdon]

Likely the window motors from the rear are more valuable than the transmission

 

[70sRescueGuy]

Ok..sorry for delay BUT here is update….a guy who has multiple e28s (including the m5 version) actually met me yesterday in CT area and bought several items…Front Hood, other body parts…..So, what remains are (strangely enough because motor/trans usually first items to go, right ?) are the Engine…5sp Getrag (1987e28-535is)….cardinal red seats, rear bench seating (one piece)…few Salmon Silber body pieces….and have one small box of electric items, have to check later today.
Sincere thank you to everyone who chimed in…if i no longer have what you hunting for, wish you find it very soon to keep True Classics alive & running….I am off to bmwcca Patroon Chapter Vintage @ Saratoga Springs NY next weekend (Oct 11) @ saratoga auto museum likely in my awesome inka e3-3.0si but unsure which car i take…oh…all remaining items i do have are VERY cheap…just want to give them to those who can use them…no junking for me unless really necessary..
best wishes all…thomas
