That car was being parted out, correct? Is it missing a lot of pieces? Is that one going to be NA or boosted? I saw pictures of the car pre-damage and it looked amazing. I love those euro front turn signals
Sorry I missed this a while ago! Yes the car was parted out, all the unique euro pieces are gone, Brian bought the interior, etc. Basically I have a shell with a complete drivetrain. I have enough extra parts from my first e28 that I can at least make something out of it until I can re-euro it.
Looking to stay N/A for now but who knows where it'll go in the future as I hopefully just want . Megasquirt seems like a great option too. I'll start a separate thread for it once I can actually start doing some work!! I'm very eager for spring so I can work on my E28's, I miss driving the be28ter
. Plan for the summer is to get the 528i running so I can drive at meets/etc and then put down the 528e once Zach and I get into a shop. -

Very cool! I would love to see an NA M30 on megasquirt.
I have a 4.10 188mm ring and pinion that should fit if you find yourself itching for some acceleration
I'm itching for acceleration. And I'm debating on switching to MegaSquirt II, so I can eventually go turbo. But I'm staying N/a for now. Gotta get more low before I get more go fast goodies!

I've come to the decision that I'm parking the car until I start the rebuild. With the starter currently frozen and needing to do the timing belt, its more work than its worth just to daily it for a bit until I find a workspace. So here she sits awaiting

Might put a little time into the Euro and see if I can get that running so I can at least have something to show up to meets with over the summer. Might be starting a build thread on that this week if I can get some welding done!

that is a depressing photograph.
