New project news!
Added 2020-12-07 10:27:35 +0000 UTCI hope you good folks are having a good start of the week. I have news!
After striking out with that E31 from Spain, the itch to revive another V12 beast was getting stronger. I decided to see what happened with that E32 750iL from Karlsruhe that I filmed a while back, but couldn't agree on the price with the seller.
Well, nothing changed with the car and this time, we quickly came to an agreement on the price so she's coming home, boys!
This is my first E32 and with a production date in 1989, it's the oldest car that I bought that's also older than me (I'm 1991). I'm very excited and can't wait to put it back in service!
Going to try to keep costs down with this one and get it to pass historic oldtimer TÜV. That'll be the first for me and I'm actually looking forward to it. When all said and done, someone is going to end up with a nice classic BMW as I don't plan to keep this one.
I'm trying to arrange the pickup date with the seller, likely going to happen in a few weeks. I'll keep you posted!
P.S. this project will come after project Raleigh.

Fantastic news! I was just thinking about this car and wondering what happened to it while coming to the end of the E38.

2020-12-08 03:11:28 +0000 UTCBro, I support this project like all the previous ones!! 👌🏻👌🏻
2020-12-07 19:56:16 +0000 UTCI'm not familiar with E32 either honestly, it's similar to E31 and E34, E38 not so much.

2020-12-07 16:14:28 +0000 UTCGonna try :) these don't have a lot of value compared to E31 for example, so I need to tread carefully in order not to be in loss with it :)

2020-12-07 16:13:40 +0000 UTCWhat a machine! Looking forward to this one. Always a fan of this model.
2020-12-07 15:12:04 +0000 UTCCongrats, nice purchase and looking forward to seeing this one come together. Oh and I’m 100% sure you’ll stick to the plan of ‘not spending too much’ on this one 😉

2020-12-07 14:49:03 +0000 UTCSweet! Going to be another awesome revival project. Should be a good challenge! Not too familiar with E32's, did a lot parts and architecture carry over to the E38?

2020-12-07 13:22:26 +0000 UTCGood News, and probably it doesn't have depo lights :D
2020-12-07 12:53:19 +0000 UTC"Going to try to keep costs down with this one" - Famous last words :) Excited to see it come back to life nonetheless!
2020-12-07 12:12:06 +0000 UTCFantastic! Can't wait to see it get brought back to life!
2020-12-07 11:11:49 +0000 UTCAwesome! Can't wait to see this car be restored to its former glory. Might also be a great time to learn some basic welding to battle the rust it undoubtedly will have!
2020-12-07 11:11:14 +0000 UTCHe did for the most part, he sent me a counter offer to my original offer and I agreed. :)

2020-12-07 11:05:20 +0000 UTCGreat news!! I must admit I was rather disappointed when you didn’t reach an agreement with the guy last time. I will have to go back and watch again to refresh my memory. Did you budge on the price or did he??
2020-12-07 10:48:59 +0000 UTCGlückwunsch! You're the same production year as me! :D but while you are working on a trillion cars at once I am here sitting with my E46 diesel struggeling changing my thermostats properly.
2020-12-07 10:46:36 +0000 UTCThanks, Mark!

2020-12-07 10:35:20 +0000 UTCThat is so cool! Can’t wait to see you work on it.
2020-12-07 10:33:07 +0000 UTCYou're the best Sreten !
2020-12-07 10:32:01 +0000 UTCCool! I thought it was a real pity you couldn't find an agreement with the (now previous) owner of the E31 before. Glad to see this one "coooooming up..."! :D
