So,
I sold my E38 because I needed something that got better MPG and also because I wanted a wagon.
So I picked this up today.
It's a '98 523iA Touring, converted to LPG fuel. So it's super cheap to run since a liter of LPG costs around 60 - 70 cents (in €) here.
It's still on the p/o's tags, getting new tags on saturday.
When I got home after picking it up:
Drove it over to my workshop:
LPG conversion:
And a quick wash:
And it even passed the dog test!
It has a few issues, visual things mostly, but these will be taken care of... first things first is to install some leather, then coils.
Since my 3 will be down for a longer time frame as I'm planning a full rebuild, this will have to check all the boxes until then... cheap to run, lots of room and looking good. Let's see what I can do with this...
Real work will start after I'm back from Gatebil next month... the epic roadtrip (1400km one way, so 2800km in total) will be a nice test for the E39, haha.
