Hi Richard, I am replacing a 1927 twin cylinder Albin (Swedish) 12 hp Petrol Motor in my 100 year old 20' carvel hulled "putt-putt" . I found a D35 complete with heat exchanger, gearbox, harness, panel for $ 2250.00 Australian Dollars. I didn't know that BMW made marine motors and being a BMW driver (22 year old 523i) the advert caught my attention. I found your WEB site, appears to be nothing in OZ, read all I could on your site and decided to check this beasty out. I paid the seller, a restorer of old engines. a visit to discover one very nice bit of engineering. It has done 600 hours and appears to be in excellent condition. He set up a small mower tank of diesel above it and it started first go and sounded very sweet (for a diesel w/o a muffler). I negotiated a price and we shook on the deal. He was asked to sell this by the widow of a recently deceased mate who was just about to drop it into his yacht. Such is life ! I'll try to get it into my boat before I drop! Bruce Perry |
