M88/3 project stalled

Post by dave635 »

Hi all,

I've had a complete euro spec M88/3 (from 1985 LHD chassis 1052839) in storage for some years now while I looked for a suitable E24 / E28 / E23 to transplant it into.

Not found a suitable car yet so thinking of selling up, anyone on here be interested ? Preferably UK based due to shipping issues.

120k miles, euro (snake) exhaust manifolds, all parts to do timing chain swap available. Obviously its 37 years old & will need some rework but is complete with ECU / ancillaries & i'd say a very rare opportunity indeed.

cheers,
Dave.

Just thought i'd revisit this, still got the engine in storage plus a load of other parts from the M635 inc the diff & big front brakes as examples.

I have an E9 that would be perfect in. too bad I'm so far away, even though the cost of going through it would make the shipping look cheap

If you are willing to crate it along with the other M635 parts and ship to the U.S

I am a buyer.

Let me know.
Thanks!
