My Name is Tony and I am new to this site, I have created a web site to chart the progress (slow at times) of my BMW E12 M535i, you can check it out at http://www.tonybmw.co.uk/, I also involved in creating a list of all known surviving E12 M535's chassis numbers , so if any one out there knows of any or owns one then please check the VIN against my list and get in touch via the web site.
Hope you enjoy
For those interested in Fuel Injection I also have a 204 page download all about bosch fuel injection including trouble shooting
I've not seen this picsture before Tony but the car is coming on a treat.
If you can upload some more photos it would be excellent. This is one project that deserves some well earned exposure
And for anyone wanting inspiration on a project BMW, have a good look through Tonys website!
His restoration credentials are excellent and he really has got some great project/restoration photos on there.
I can't wait to see this car progress when you get the time to carry on with it Tony!
Thanks for the comments, the main idea behind the site was to provide encouragement and enthusiasm for myself and fellow BMW enthusiasts.
We all know what it feels like to be stuck in a cold garage (if your lucky), alone and working on your car, with no one to share it with.
I have added a couple more photos, but you can see many more at my site, I have also included many pictures from some previous projects that I have carried out. Personally I love seeing other peoples work, hopefully you will to.
I have been restoring cars as a hobby know for 20 years, I have not done too much over the last 6 or so years, due to work and family committments. But I am starting to redress the balance.
Nice one Tony. I really have to admire you guys that do this level of work.
I watched my father restore loads of stuff for himself, Jensen's, Costin tuned Anglia, Minor's, Imp's and Mini's for us kids and I regret not learning more from him to enable me to undertake this sort of work.
As my old wood work teacher used to say, among other things, "if a jobs worth doing its worth doing well".
I think that the problem with an E12 this rotten is that any efforts to do a quick fix up would have a very short term effect, and end up being false economy in the long term.
And hey the website would not be half as interesting

Hi all
I am just putting an e12 m535 back together after restoring it, but I have got into trouble with the sunroof slide/tilt mechanism, took it all apart for painting and can't remember how it all goes back together, so if anyone can point me in the right direction for images of the set up...
Meet Hugo the Big daddy of the M series BMWs, He's a E12 M535i.
Heres the first pics, from the garage he was in for the last 13 years, to getting home and washed, polished the bonnet and roof, came up quite well.
