	www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172334602212?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Reserve is probably too high to be realistically met. I need to sell this now as don't drive it much and it sits on my drive doing nothing. Sometimes I hesitate before getting in the Pug every morning and consider taking the E28 to work but seldom do. Luckily we have not had months of torrential rain like previous years (yet) so it would be nice if this can go to a home where it can be garaged as it deserves. My Escort is still in my garage and it doesn't look like it's moving anytime soon (unless I pull my finger out and sell that too!) so my plans of garaging the E28 are not happening for a while yet. Thread to my E28 here: retrorides.proboards.com/thread/177045/1987-bmw-e28 I am just bored and fancy a change. The 1 thing that I would say is 'wrong' with the car is that it will need the usual E28 issue addressing of fixing the Fuel tank corrosion. It doesn't leak but you can smell the petrol if you put more than 25 litres in, and are standing at the rear of the car after driving on a bumpy surface. I never managed to find a fuel tank so haven't got round to changing it which doesn't look like a difficult job. I haven't found a car I want yet but I definitely want another classic. Ideally 70s/80s/90s 4 seater. probably a Merc W126 or W123 but finding one in budget could be a challenge. Something like a Toyota CROWN would be interesting also but I am open to swaps/PX. No Bikes or Vans please as I have no use for them.

I am very fond of it and have backed out of selling it many times but I don't want it to sit in the elements over winter and start to deteriorate. If I had a bigger garage then I would have locked it away.

	I'll let you know after Wednesday mate. I have a potential swap happening, and if the car looks as good as it does in the photos, the deal will be done and I will end the Auction on the day. Apologies if this is disappointing for anyone on here, but I'm sure you will understand when you see the new car

	I take it you did the swap as the item has ended?

	Yes it happened. Took a LOT of thinking, but a sleepless night later, the mind was made up. My drive will now be adorned with some AMG Powah!! This car is in really good condition as is not your usual crusty W210. It is very well specced from the factory and everything works. It has FSH and the gearbox has had regular servicing. It's got 124k on the clock which is nothing for an understressed V8 such as this. It's already had the (common for these) exhaust changed which deletes resonator and secondary cats, it sounds like a C63 It does however have some rather dubious modifications to the appearance Lol. As soon as these are removed I will create a new thread for it. I need to change the grille back to standard but it appears that the one on it is worth a few bob according to Ebay so I should be quids in there. Bonnet star needs to replace the flat AMG badge currently on bonnet. It has the facelifted door mirrors fitted which I don't like, and all window tint will be removed, I've never had tints on any car. The worst of all this are the wibblepoo vents that has been fitted to the front wings but cutting metal to fit bloody vent!! I'll live with them for a few months then have this sorted by a bodyshop (my brother). I was so annoyed with this particular aspect that I nearly refused the offer Lol. But it's not the end of the world. A few pics below, but I will take some 'proper' ones once I am happier with the appearance.

	Looks tidy enough ive got an e280 i use daily. It is a constant battle keeping rust at bay on these. Check your spring hangers on the front - they like to fall off!
