1987 M6 - Marwin - caferacer

Post by DC »

Hi there,
after selling my 635CSi (viewtopic.php?f=25&t=4041) I had some pause with just one Turbo 628CSi but I needed more... It´s a shark disease, you know :roll: :lol:

I was looking at lot of adverts and also driving to cars personally many kms, but found nothing interesting which wasn´t rust bucket. I was quite desperate but after that I found this at facebook E24 pages:
