This is a bad idea

This is a very bad idea......for my own sake, I hope this isn’t still for sale when I’m back from the Island. So much V12 for so little money......also so much probably failed SLS, and probably ruined torque tube bearings, etc, etc....

I can’t....I’m about to be on my way to a ferry that I have a reservation on. Otherwise I would most likely be buying it now

V12, under 1k, 2 photos, 1 sentence. What could possibly go wrong?

I’ve already owned a V8 E32, and my friend has owned not one, but two M30'd E32s.....and yet we still keep looking for them. There’s something addicting about them, even though I’m wildly aware of everything that could, and will go wrong

He hasn’t emailed back in a few days, so I’m not keeping my hopes up for it

Did you try calling him?

He didn’t leave a number in the ad, just the CL email relay. He sent my the pictures and info, but hasn’t responded since then. I’ll try again tomorrow or something

It’s a bit rusty, but how about an E21 for $500?

I’ve already done a rusty E21....if I get another, I want one that’s not rusty. That one looks okay cosmetically, but I imagine the frame rails, subframe mounts, and rocker rails are a mess

What about triple the car for triple the price?

Holy shit I didn’t realize that was still for sale. It used to be $2500, it’s almost worrying that it hasn’t sold yet. Still, I want.

It looks really clean. Very few people want big block powered barges, so they tend to sit on the market at really low prices for a really long time. 99% of the time, if it looks clean, there’s nothing wrong with it. I’d go check it out, as it looks quite good.

Dude. I’m on my third BMW V12, 1991 E32. Also had 1990 that looked like that one there, later a 1995 E38

Depending on what its needs are, you could well and truly land on your feet.

Replaced one set of intake manifold seals (E38) otherwise no majors in over 299K miles (that we put on) among all three of them

Doooo itttt!!

I’ll probably go check it out....it would be a very cool thing if it’s workable within reason
