Alamo, Fritz bitz no. is 01823 669425 These guys really seem to know what they are doing. They will probable try and encourage you to have an engine upgrade. I am going down to see them on the 27th to have a brake conversion fitted. James |

I agree with Horsetan you need an E12 5 series or 6 series car to part share as the e28 based six is very different and not many parts are convertable. You will also have part sharing possible from the CS coupes which shares the same floor pan. I would recomend having a chat with Fritz in Somerset as they are a 6 series specalist and break a lot of both e12 and e28 chassi 5's and 6's. I don't have there number on me now, but will forward when i can. James |

What you have acquired is a 6 Series based on the old E12 5-Series floorpan. Your 1986/7 528 has the later E28 floorpan. The respective wheelbases are different. |
