Love the concept but wouldnt touch one with a barge pole. These engines are expensive to rebuild, which its due at this mileage.

"... On the road, they remained a specialist interest with BMW selling 500 in the UK but numbers have since diminished due to a problem with the aluminium cylinder liners which has claimed quite a few.

This car has, in fact, suffered from that very problem but the current owner has invested the time and money to fully rebuild the engine with steel liners, which should be more resilient ..."

Very tempted to get this and prep so it lasts another 18 years. What budget do I need to put asisde to get this into proper shape? £3k, £5k, £15k? Can't work it out.
