Okay, I am certain the engine on my 240D has blown, again. I wasn't watching the oil gauge, and the engine got pretty warm today, and when I opened the hood, there was oil everywhere.

When I try and start it, there is no compression, so I'm sure the valves and/or camshaft are to blame. Such a shame.

I am done with this car. I loved it and enjoyed every minute I was driving in it, but, like a bad girlfriend, has taken all my money and left me stranded.

So, engines aside, is there anyone who needs any parts from a car such as mine?

Absolutely anything, except the motor, which is broken. I want this car out of here, and I don't car if you buy it whole or not, i am done with it.

I will be putting it up on Kijiji in the following few days.

Sorry to hear of your motor issues, I'm sure plenty of people would be interested in parts and or the whole car. Post a topic over in cars and parts

The most important info is probably whether it has a manual transmission..
second is what type AC it has...
If manual shift and type one ac... very desirable...

"but, like a bad girlfriend, has taken all my money and left me stranded."
