WTD: late model BMW in need of engine work

Just wondering - if someone has a later model BMW which maybe has a
broken timing belt or something major with the engine, and they're
interested in selling, please email me at: mjmalin(at)wisc(dot)edu
Looking for manual transmission and a car that is otherwise in nice
condition.

None of us would contact you about our beloved broken BMW;
you obviously don't know and care enough about BMWs, since
all modern BMWs (since around '91) have timing CHAINS.

Perhaps by "late model" he means late 80's?

Sorry, but I thought some of the 4 cylinder engines had belts still?? Maybe
only UK spec cars fitted with those particular engines??

At least Badger and Jeff got my feeble attempt at humor. Paul totally
is out of it.

AFAIK, "late model" is about the last 5 years or so. Note the guy is
from Wisconsin, USA: no 4-cylinder cars over here in the US.

No.
