Find me a very specific car (BMW E28 Estate)

[Huntsman]

I found out today that there is a few BMW E28 estates.

I've had my E28 for 4 years, its the car I have enjoyed the most and have no plans to get rid, but I am a serial buyer of estates, about 4 in a row. Its been a constant conflict for the 4 years that it wasn't an estate.

Not sure if any estates were built in RHD.

Might have to convert a LHD one.

Can you find me a E28 estate for sale?

Sorry but not in the uk you wont find one, BMW never sold them here.

Or anywhere. All E28 tourings are custom jobs as far as I am aware.

Yes, quite right, not marketed in the UK AFAIK, all custom jobs, I'm not sure how many were built.

My search might hampered by my lack of German language skills, I can't get past Oktoberfest, knockwurst and Porsche....

Ideally, I'd like one with the 525e motor and in right hand drive, not sure such a thing exists, but any E28 estates will be a start!

There's a guy here offering one for sale a couple of years ago. Might still have it?

I have my e28 535i touring for sale if someone really wants to buy it.
It´s made by Schulz-Karosserie and has an engine with about 250bhp.
It also has a Getrag 265 and a slip differential in the rear.
I bought the car in 2007 and have been working on it since then, but now I don´t have the time anymore to build the car.
The car has been put to pieces and everything has been polished and painted. The paintjob and all the metalwork on the car has cost me already 15000€. Yes it´s a lot of money but I thought that if it´s done it´s better be done properly. The engine has been opened by finlands best BMW specialist and all the valves have been adjusted.
The engine and transmission has been properly washed and the engine has been painted black.
The cars colour is Cosmosschwarz.

EDIT: 4.6.2009

I´ve sold the car to my friend and bought an E34 M5 Touring Individual.
If someone still is interested in the car they should contact the e-mail that is found on site www.hupi-auto.fi

I might have to stop looking for cars for other people and go and do some work now! I'm just putting off doing my tax return...

Going well, thanks. Just had a scary amount of welding done, so should be good for another generation or so!
