Hi guys
Trust you are all well, I'm currently busy bringing back an e12 from the grave, this vehicle originally was an e12/8 535i, the story behind it and how this car ended up with me is that one of my friends bought it and thought he would restore it, his plans changed and he sold the vehicle to another friend who had already bought my first e12(white 518i), as the guy who had bought my vehicle drove it for a year he felt that he needed more power out of it so he bought the donor 535, he did himself a huge favor as those who know about this swap will know that it's impossible to swap a 535i into a 518 without the front subframe everything else is a bonus (brakes, suspension, power steering, etc.) Nevertheless all the parts required were transfered from the one vehicle to the other which meant it was scrapping time for the 535i, at which point this is where I get involved, I bought this vehicle instead of sending it to be tomorrow's coke can. Some might think I'm crazy but the ones who know me know that we bringing this beast back to life, will it be a 535 again, who knows, maybe but for now, the progress can be seen in the pics. I will post more as I go along. E12/8 5?? With blue cloth interior and sunroof, currently automatic. Enjoy guys. The journey starts here.
