Anyone have one of these that they want to part with? I just pulled mine and its completely shot. Looking at a couple on Ebay, but thought I'd rather find it on here.
Thanks!

I guess the question is: what do you consider cheap? Cheap enough and I might be able to wait a while.
Thanks,

One other possible option is to source out a non-oem blower. That's what a lot of us have done to our e23's. We found that a Fasco motor from a Mopar fits for 1/5th the price of a Bosch.

I'm about see if I could do the same to my e28 in the next couple of weeks. The process involves some trial & error work by having your friendly parts place pull a bunch of motors off the rack and visually inspecting the dimensions for a fit.

I need the cages as well as the motor as mine are brittle and have some broken fins. Plus, the parts places around here have a hard enough time getting the right parts when they have the numbers right in front of them.

Hmmmph! You need a Zip code to even look
The only Zip code I've got is on my trousers (or should that be pants?).

No thanks Johnny - mine's OK, just curious. You know you guys are really spoilt for motor factors and after market parts

without cages, the oem bosch is 80 IIRC, With cages is practically 100 more, dang expensive for 2 plastic cages

Buy the new motor from Steve and get the cages from someone here on the board....
I bought the new motor from Steve last year and did not regret it for a second.....$$ well spent.
