[e30-EVN]

someone i know has just picked up an e28 m535 for 600 sheets.,... no tax or mot. last tax disc was dated 2004

what kind of a car can he expect it to be underneath? hidden area's these like to rot ect ect......

its a bit taty outside and the seats are rottwieler spec also

He might be lucky and it'll be ok. But many E28s have got severe rust issues, and the more used the car has been (more miles, more owners etc) the more likely it has rust. M535s tended to be well used too.

i thought that would be the case ferg lol, he got it back and the starter motor failed already

he was looking to put the m30 in,,,, or should i say ME to put the m30 in his e30 (god only knows why!!!) which incidently is definaty a festered turd but decided he likes it that much he want to drive the car whole.

i asked him ''have you pulled the carpets up and boot liners ect ect'' and he replied ''yeah i have shes mint''

????

i havent looked yet but i can only imagine

very similar, his is a 1985 B in blue, seats are worse condition, i think someone has either chopped the air con or oil cooler out and just bent the pipes up, piece missing in the same place as that in the bottom right corner of front bumper. it has low miles but ive seen e30's with ultra low miles that have rotted worse than a more used car due to being sat, exhaust is lop sided and hanging low, someone has thrown grip fill or something over the 1 side of the car also.
i will try and find the link on ebay now

I would put money on it being a hound..

[e30-EVN]

no its gone off ebay, i will try get some pics of it. but after what ive seen i have to say i reckon its a sorry turd that will need shit loads spent on it

[cecotto479]

I paid that recently for a breaker, so that should give you an idea.

[e30-EVN]

Good point and tbh that's the sort of money id expect to pay for a breaker mate, but some people don't listen especially those in competition . Ah well, not my cash wasted

i got a similar e28 same year for £600 bags, currently pulling it apart bit by bit to discover more problems, got mine at 97k miles, interior / exterior is in decent condition, so its possible to restore,

so far the main problem areas are the boot area especially the spare tyre well, and near the corners iinside the boot, remove all boot trim, lining, and seals and have a look, remove the boot seal the edges underneath are probably disentegrated and will probably need rebuilding, check around the number plate lights as this is also rusted on mine, remove the tail lights and check around,

front of the car check the battery tray and chassis rails, underneath, jacking points, remove skirts, main point is the sunroof drail holes tip some water down there it should come out somewhere,

check the doors sills, and check old mot certs online if any advisories have come up for corrosion..
