Hi everybody 
My name is Olie, thought I'd join up to hopefully meet a few new like minded people, get help and advice etc!
Anyway, my next project is one with huge sentimental value to me, as it is my old family car from when I was a young lad.
The car in question is an '88 BMW 730ise, but with a twist.
NCB Autokraf built this E32 into full Alpina B11 spec when it was about 4 years old, using all new parts bought direct from Alpina.
Once completed, they sold it to my old man, and he used it for the next decade or so. When the car got to 100k miles, he took it off the road and replaced it with something else.
Many cars have come and gone, but my Dad could never bring himself to part with the E32. It's sat on my Grandmothers drive for around a decade, being practically unused.
Anyway, my Dad was finally forced to accept he wasn't going to use the 32 again and sent it to the garage to be recomisioned, ready for sale.
I enquired about the car, as I didn't really want to see it sold either, at which point I was told "If you want it, have it!"
So there we are, that's a bit of history about the car! Sorry to bore you haha, but as you can probably tell, very important car to me this one!
Plans at the minute:
Mild restoration as time and money allow, I want this looking the way it did the first time I saw it (Condition wise)
Stance. Need the front going down quite a lot! Currently researching E34 coilovers, any input welcome!
Rims. I don't think the splits that are on it suit it very well to be honest, I'm currently thinking about OZ Futuras in 17x 9 and 10j flavour!
So there it is, sorry for the long first post!
Any input, comments, advice or whatever welcome
