Rob and Joost E12 528 type 1 ----> 535i
Hello I'm Rob and i'm new to this forum but here is a litte peak in to our project.
I'm Dutch so my English is not that perfect but i'm doing my best
When i was visiting Baur 323 to buy a door for my e28 i saw this beauty of a m535i e12...
Offcourse we talked about old beemers and forums. My question was why isn't there a e12 forum.
Then he gave me the tip to check out the e21 forum so i did...
Joost and me are friends who share the same passion and that is old beamers.
We started with E30 tourings and e28... But those cars are not that rare.
So we thought we should buy a e12 and we did.
Now we are busy restoring a 1975 bmw 528 e12 type 1.
We bought the car 2 years ago. The car was i descent condition but off course not rust free.
Our plans:
- New paint job and do it ourselves!
- M30b35 from a e34 535i
- 16 or 17 inch alpina's
- Bilstein suspension and lower it 4 cm
- hopefully find a Recaro interior but is gone be hard.
The projectcar
Old engine
New dirty engine
Clean engine parts:
New electric mirrors:
New hood
Removing rust and making it new
Primer and filler
I love new paint
16 inch alpina's
Okay this is an impression and my first post.
At the moment we are finishing the chassis of the car.. Next few weeks we are gone repaint the chassis and we have a 99% rust free car...
Hope you like our little project and we hope to learn here a lot about e12's and other projects.
Please post every comment you want we are still noobs in the business and everything we do is the first time!

Re: Rob and Joost E12 528 type 1 ----> 535i replica
Welcome!! Nice project, great that you dare to work on a car in that way! In what way will it be a replica? Do you want a m535i or just 535i? For that matter, are they ever built in a type 1? And the inlegt manifolt is not period correct othe e12. However, great resto and nice work!

No it is not a m535i replica... because there is no type1 m535i. But it's gone be a e12 535i type1.

Nice color!
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.
