No mre E3's.

Recommended Posts

So within' a couple of days i'll be E3 less.

My good 2500 sold on tardme the other night so should be gone soon and Nick (R90S) bought and picked up my 3.0Si on Friday.

So i'm givin' a couple of months as i've got some pieces i need to finish for an exhibition, then i'm goin' searching for my next BMW, but i'm not 100% percent sure on what i'm going to get, so i'm askin' for suggestions(sp?)

Here's the criteria,

NO E30s

NO E36s

Nothing newer than E34/E32

$4k budget

That's it, so what's your ideas / thoughts.

for 4k, I'd keep my eye out for an E28.

A nice E34 could be much more than 4k.

Got an E28 M535i, genuine, plastic kit, auto, needs some TLC but sound car, looking for a new home.

Have a manual box and flywheel to go with it. Within your budget too.

A rough but running E34 535iS should fit into that budget, that gets my vote.

Wouldn't get an E24 older than an 85 or 86, make sure it has the newer rear subframe, needs to have the dogbone links. The earlier subframe and chassis are not as good as the later ones.

Always been partial to the sharks lol, can anyone elaborate on the major differences between early and later cars?

RUSTY or REALLY RUSTY (hidden under bog)

dont get a uk import .(probably only choice in your price range though)

as david said get 1984ish onwards built on e28 platform so easy to get mech stuff , suspension etc .

front wings cost more a $1500 EACH NEW ,

compare that to tidy second hand e28 wing $100 etc

Id say E28 535i. 4k would be a project E24

Ive been on the look out for a nice decently priced E24 for near a year now and nothings come up, id say most of the nice ones don't change hands much if at all.

I would recommend an E28 535i or E34 535i,(manual/M suspension could be fitted later as funds allow) must have big block 6 cylinder, you have the capability of painting so you could do it up at your leisure.

E28 wise, cant beat Diamond Black, Alpina look.

E34 wise, cant beat Diamond Black,full M bodykit.

You can't beat the sound of a tuned screaming M30b35 engine on a good exhaust, during dyno runs they sound like a Spitfire engine winding up.

E28 Alpina as reference
