[pacerpete]

Poor turd

Pete wouldn't hesitate to break that turd

[pony]

Love the rear spoiler ?
The paint has seen better days
Is this M535i ?
Does it have LSD ?

White with M stripes looks great

[DanThe]

Looks like you missed the true executive motah Pete!

Very very sad indeed, the last 12 months of my spare time involves lots of 28/12 action, they are so much nicer than 30's !
A 12' m535 is a fine chariot indeed, this turd certainly deserves a caked hero to bring it to former glory

[snakebrain]

Serious car. There was a really nice E12 on ebay this week that had me salivating profusely..

[Blitz]

Henna Red the best colour!

[snakebrain]

Taiga Green the best colour!

Fixed..

It's all been said.

Hero chariot. It needs saving.

Last taxed in 1992, 22 years ago...

How much would it cost to do a full restoration ?

[Kos]

That will swallow up £10,000 without even trying

[pony]

So £20k for a proper job ?

So £20k for a proper job ?

Probably more.

If your paying someone to do it, can be costly.

My mate restores VW campers, the last 2 he's doing have been 1000hours plus in just steel work. Figure that out at £40 an hour.

[pony]

Yeah paying someone else

E30s swallow up £10k easily

Maybe this vehicle £20-25k ?
Would have to very specific taste to spend that money and really like E12s as their market value is far less than the restoration costs

[pony]

I do think E12 535i white in M stripes with big rear spoiler looks bloody cool though

[Kos]

I was going to say £20k would be more realistic but it all depends what you find when you pull it apart and how far you want to go

They do look good in henna red though or silver as well.

[pony]

I am talking all out
No holds barred
Pay a mechanic to do all the work

Not really something that can be answered.

£40k for VW Camper seems pretty excessive to me

[snakebrain]

How much for a mint'ish one?

£10-12k

[jimbom30cab]

very very nice indeed and with a dog leg box

[Speedtouch]

I suppose you could always just fix the essential stuff to get it back on the road, and restore the bodywork over a period of time - a rolling restoration...

[pony]

Better to buy a concours / mint one in the first place

[pony]

Or fix the essentials and use for drifting a˜ˆa˜ˆa˜ˆa˜ˆ

[Speedtouch]

Yeah, it would make an ideal and rather stylish drift turd.

[pony]

How many bhp is this when new and how much does it weigh ?
Prob needs LSD rebuilding

[Speedtouch]

220 bhp @ 5200 rpm, 310 Nm @ 4000 rpm; Weight 1430 kg; Power to weight full of fuel, 140bhp per 1000kg (metric tonne).
