Ben Barnes - Bmw E28

This 1988 BMW 520 (E28) has been treated to a modern 24v M50 engine (single vanos). Ben carried out the conversion himself after taking the car to the Nurburgring and deciding there was nowhere near enough power on tap !

The original M20 gearbox was used and an E30 LSD was fitted. It took severe modification to get everything working but all in all makes a beauty of a car with its old skool styling and modern engine :).
