It sounded great, though. Not much fuss with seizing, it simply stopped.

I just added maybe 1/4 quart so my car wouldn't meet the same fate.

I add oil 1 quart at a time. Any less than that means I have to carry an opened oil bottle in my vehicle.

That reminds me: Have you checked your PCV valve? Excess crankcase pressure due to a clogged PCV system can cause oil leaks.

You wouldn't have gotten $4500 for it.

Besides, the drivetrains are scrapped, but the rest of the car may be dismantled and used for parts. It depends on whatever salvage yard that buys it does with it.

do they have to do that to the engine? talk about wasteful...
"On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit'. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." - Ayrton Senna

That thing's definitely worth more than $4500.

There was a video of an E32 735i getting killed, it took 2 minutes to do it. Made me sad, I'd definitely rock that car. The M30 was a gem, too.
