Hey Team long time no post, Ive been looking at options to see what i can shoehorn my v10 into.

Was thinking something old school and this has caught my eye.

Im new to the e12 scene so just wanting to know if there are any pitfalls to look out for and if this car is a good base to use?

Thanks heaps team,

Rust is probably your biggest thing. There are some crossovers with suspension parts with the likes of the e3/e24 maybe some e28 stuff to. @BM WORLD is probably the man to ask

What about an e39? or e31? 😎

@treone wouldn't mind a 8 series  but too much money for me and e39 just not old enough sorry. 3 contenders currently e12, e28 or e30 i think.
