8 series project car on CL/SF

[dcollin]

I've always liked the E31's, unfortunately I don't need another project. Price seems good.

Can anyone say donor car for an E28 V12, 6 speed conversion?






Edited for posterity.

I really did know the 850 has a V12 rather than a V8.

What, and cut four cylinders off that V-12?

I love this statement from the advertisement:

"The engine runs well as far as we know, but we have never driven it." Well, then "as far as you know" means you don't know! I hate car ads but I guess nothing should surprise me anymore.

The other thing is that if your pockets are deep enough, and you have a second car for when the v-12 is in the shop with a new leak, a v-12 powered 8 or 7 series can be a nice car. But who in their right mind would try to bring one of these back from the dead? Time to part this puppy out . . . . In its current condition, he would need to pay someone to take it.

There's a lot I can't think of at the moment

True for everybody I guess

Damn, Shawn got me again. I need to quit posting before I've finished my first pot of coffee.
