Bookmarked!
What are these like to drive Tony? Are they much different from the m535i?
Have you done a full grot inspection underneath yet? I hope it's not rotted under the rear subframe.

Totally different kettle of fish to the M535i - I've had both and found that the 12v engine had so much more grunt low down - but the 24v sings like a cathedral choir and positively thrives on revs - Tony that one looks well worth doing - unusual to see an M5 in that colour too - will be following with interest
P.S. I'd have a side bet that nearside rear quarter has been replaced at some time

I'd have a side bet that nearside rear quarter has been replaced at some time Les - I am pretty sure you will be right on this, perhaps even the back panel as well in the past, its just rusty in the wrong places As for driving it, as Les says, E12's are all about low down Grunt, these don't have that and even seem a bit slow to start with, but drop it down a cog and get the revs up and they don't half go, but as far as steering and suspension goes, very similar feel to the E12 Not done a total Grot inspection underneath yet, it seems fairly good on a quick inspection, but we all know how wrong that can be |

But then again it was about 17 years ago |

Never had an E12 - only E28s, in fact I've had every model bar the diesel - and still have a hankering for another! What I love about the M5 over the M535i (e28) is it's just so understated - even the arch extensions are subtle (still got a mint set somewhere!). The one really quick e28 M5 I did have a go of had tubular headers - seemed to make a world of difference off the mark and did away with that butt-clenching moment where you hope the slipper does its job when it comes on the cam!

But then again it was about 17 years ago If I'm doing work as good as that in 17 years time I'll be very happy. |

Someone told me that you had a 5 series yourself, Tony.
I get it, you are just practicing on this one before you do your own.
You can't beat a new Tonybmw thread to get you inspired, it is what I asked Santa for. ;D

This thread is just in time to inspire me for the possibility of an E30 or E34 finding it's way onto my drive. Bookmarked

It shall be interesting to see how this turns out. They certainly sound like lots of fun with the 24V engine . Best of luck but then I do hear that you are a bit of a magician with metalwork . |
