rob - you spoilsport!
the heated rows over E23's E12's etc were the best fun on the old board.
Is Andyboy's alter ego Hiab on this forum?

On the subject of the classic e12 Dreadnoughts does anyone know anything about the very early 520 & 520i with the 4 cyl M10 2002 & 2002Tii motors?

That's the one. One of my fave cars, although they
can rust a bit and so many have been abused and
neglected. A nice one is just lovely though, but I'd
give the 280 and 300 a miss - you need the V8 if only
for the sound.

"Need professional counselling; on my drive are: E38 750iL, E24 635CSi, Z1 and E21 323i Baur... "
Respect! have you any pics/info on your collection spokey? Even andyboy would like that little lot in his BMW barn.

I'm not sure that E12 is pastel blue. looks kinda metallic?

Looks a bit to bluey to be the only metallic blue BMW
did back then which is another insipid shade, Fjord
Blue.
Pastel is my best guess. Yuk.
The only good BMW colours from the seventies were
Golf yellow, Taiga green met, Tundra green met,
Turkis and Inca orange. Polaris silver is okay.

maybe its brand new Pastelblau Andy. My E21 was pastel but 11 years old and so faded somewhat. in fact the paint was about 3 resprays deep in places.
what colour was Turkis?
