Ive been wanting an e12 lately, and wanted to do it properly with all the euro goodies. Once money frees up I will for sure. Keep up the good work

[Stupid Kid]

ha, you got bored with your 5 series so you bought.. an older 5 series.

e12's are gorgeous though, i like the interiors especially over the 28...

Hows it to drive vs the newer ones?

[TeckniX]

White e12 with some proper heritage looks? - Carry on

Igor is parked, possibly dead, so I bought this to distract me. I've seen it parked at this dealer for months. Finally the price was low enough for me to offer and I got it for a price I'm happy about. It's a 1976 530i. Has an m30b30 and a 4speed. CRUISE CONTROL. Also it's an early model so it has the flat hood which I prefer. Because it's the one I have.


Yuck:






To start, I shampoo'd erythang because dealers are disgusting. Especially when they have a name like "Dimitri".

Just kidding I actually removed the bumper and cut 2 coils off the front to start. But it was all the same day.




Also, MODIFIED THE CAR with 16x8 style 5s with 205/45 rubber bought from Zane dumb.




Got raped at the DMV, but I asked for it.


Because I got PACIFIC WONDERLAND PLATES





I took more parts off Igor.



I LOVE THIS


Bribed my cousin. "If you can get all the tint off in an hour you can play my pokemon game". Kid's still love pokemon. I still love pokemon.


Done. Except for the back window because I **** it.


Anyway. I got the wise idea to see if an e28 euro bumper fits an e12. It does.


The car had these surinam headlight bubbles. I took them off.



The oem was ripped up and had lost all of it's horse hair. The dealer decided a good way to fix this was to just patch it with basketball fabric and shove walmart pillows in the seat. I took the seat out.

For a few days I rode around with a bucket seat sitting on some blankets and cardboard but that wasn't fun so I finally made so brackets.

BRACE YOURSELF FOR YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN WELDING AND FAB WORK.






It actually works very well. Perfect height. I used rubber bushings to space the front up so it has a nice angle.

Installed modified tuned performance


Also my Wife bought me a pretty Nardi for our anniversary a few weeks ago. Here it is making the interior look beautiful. It's a swell place to be.


Also I drive the car sometimes (actually everyday, for some reason I thought a 1976 would make a great daily)




THAT'S ALL UNTIL I DO MORE THINGS
