    I have seen the ad, not the car in person. I think it is a bit on the pricey end. The car appears stock other than the wheels. I bought my E28 533i for $550 and sold it for $1700...

    This could be lucrative, if you can get some money plus the E38 for your Jeep.

    It has been done, and it sounds AMAZING, but not a straightforward swap. Its a bit of a PITA engine. skip to about 0:55 in this vid. Its an M60 swapped E28. It sounds heavenly.

      E34 535's are awesome cars. I wonder if it is a manual?
      I love this thread. And that car.


      Looking for a clean e30 shell for a project.

        Most likely not, only something like 900 of them are.

            HA definitely not, they're not that rare. A few thousand, definitely, but not 900.

                  No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.

                        This one looks like a great runner:



                        Best of all it has a new transfer case...

                          Holy crap that is a good deal for a 2 door IX AND 5-speed. Roland might jump on this.

                                I like how he says rare by five speed and 2door, 88's only came in that configuration.
