Another unexpected purchase & some updates
Added 2021-05-03 20:23:23 +0000 UTCYup, I did it again. Last week a very cheap E32 750iL popped for sale in Logroño, Spain. Complete, non-runner, parked since 2016 but the owner had it running recently with starter fluid as fuel pumps are dead. Being a Spanish car, it's rust-free and with a price tag of 900€, I pulled the trigger. I bought it mainly cause I'll need a lot of parts for project Karlsruhe and having a cheap parts car just makes sense. Also, all the good parts from the rusty E32 Highline can be transferred into this one as it should be rust-free if I decide to go down that route.
That being said, the car has papers and if the foundation is good for restoration, I'll just get it running and sell it to someone as a running & driving project for restoration. I won't have time for another restoration and I don't want to kill a classic BMW if it has good bones and it's saveable. It'll arrive in the 2nd half of May so we'll decide then!
Project Castellón has left Spain and should arrive in Frankfurt in the next few days. I'm so excited to see it!
In other news, there is some progress in the new workshop search. My landlords told me on Friday that I'll get more space in the complex where I am currently, but today they are singing a different song. I also have another alternative at the old Opel factory in Rüsselsheim. I'll share more details once I know everything 100%!

Sadly no. I was planning to use it for parts, but most of the parts that I needed were destroyed. The only good thing about it is that's it rust-free. I didn't have time or desire to deal with it so I sold it to a friend.

2021-07-22 15:15:24 +0000 UTCI just got myself a really rough E32, 750 iL from 88. Would you be interested in helping out with some tips and tricks?
2021-05-25 16:59:21 +0000 UTCHey Streten, just out of curiosity, what year is this car?
2021-05-11 19:28:28 +0000 UTCThis so that classic “when the immovable force, meets the unstoppable object.” Except in this case you’re both . Keep them coming Sreten, I can’t wait to see the finished products as you drive them down the Autobahn!

2021-05-06 08:16:27 +0000 UTCIs there also an M car that was mentioned in the last video?
2021-05-06 00:52:31 +0000 UTCI'm more excited for you to have more space to work in, honestly. lol
2021-05-05 19:59:54 +0000 UTCCan't wait to see the "complete" E32 with all the good parts and good work from you!
2021-05-05 00:54:34 +0000 UTCFunny isn't it? Those are the style 115 for E60, if I'm not mistaken.
2021-05-05 00:53:52 +0000 UTCNice! Waiting for the E60 tho... 😅😅😅
2021-05-04 16:26:26 +0000 UTCKeep the good news coming 👍🏻
2021-05-04 12:15:36 +0000 UTCSorry, but I can't stop looking at the white Fiat 131 on the right - a rare car, most of them dissolved faster than an indigestion tablet in water 😱 ETA: It's a 1600 so that would make it a Supermirafiori. Excellent.

2021-05-04 11:38:28 +0000 UTCIt's nothing compared to transport from dubai and USA!
2021-05-04 10:01:15 +0000 UTCYou absolute mad lad .... is what would come to mind if I didn't know your work. And if I wouldn't contribute to it with some shillings. Honestly: For that price and what you can get out of it, it's a bargain. As long as you do have the space to store it? And transporting it from Spain to Frankfurt doesn't break the bank. With regards to the garage situation: Landlords are landlords ... unfortunately ... so I keep my fingers crossed for anything that comes up and suits you.
2021-05-04 06:10:25 +0000 UTCMoar BMW! Yes please! New purchase is more "broken & worn out" than "fast and nice" lol. On top of that those horrible rims! Good luck with workshop space! Your current landlords are playing up, tell them to get stuffed and move to old Opel factory :P Fingers crossed it will all work out!

2021-05-03 21:22:20 +0000 UTCI hope you're able to get some bigger and better place soon! Imagine the amount of broken BMWs you could get!
