Where the hell do you find all these killer cars man. Every time I look you’re always finding my dream cars 😂

[kevingutierrez]

The fact that it runs is impressive!!!

[TheTulerie]

The biggest issue with those old CS's are trying to fix the rust on the front clip. Most everything else is still findable, but that front end is near impossible to find good sheet metal for. I restored 2002's & e30's for a while. That one is definitely savable.

crazy it just cranked right over 😂 aint no n54

My dad had one of these when he lived in England (we’re Irish) and it was unfortunately stolen from outside of his house :( he bought it in the mid 80s for £600 from an old guy who had given up driving

The new class range it was so ahead of its time. I'm not surprised it runs the small six and big six we're built to last.

My local dealership has one of those on display. It’s mint!

The rust makes me sad 😢 But definitely a gem worth saving ❤ The glass alone and trim will be worth something to some collector or bmw car lover 😊

[ChargerMagnum]

That's a distributor, not a coil pack

[nfrschmitz]

Dude thtat thing is sick. Even here in the Netherlands we don't see those anywhere.

Not a blind cousin with sand paper fingers 😂😂

[stumpf]

It’s insane that real wood is such a huge feature now. We are so used to plastic garbage everywhere.

[KHANGALE.T]

It's definitely worth to be restored

[drhoads]

Babe come quick, new Bendaga just dropped

[TheSavageRepairman]

I've always thought that this model was gorgeous. I would have great pride driving this around.

[himhaile]

Full restoration and engine rebuild, my guy 😎

[TheDexa]

I would drive with all the rust to the bitter/sweet end😅

[robbrobb]

These motors were fantastic, and most everything is there this one is worth restoring at this point. Your not going to find front clip parts, any molding, or those rear lens's and it looks to have most all of it. That rust is nothing unusual as long as the frame is solid I would be all over that if it was at a Houston auction.
