Always a sad moment when I see one these in a rough state. I've had three ,a 628 (!) a 635 and a M6. The latter was real gem and when I was working in the Bush (Australia) I could cruise along at 200+ all day.

On this episode, a young David Brent rescues yet another rusty BMW 😂

Saw this up for sale, the pictures in the ad didn't do it justice about how rough it actually is haha

Love the e24. Dad took me to collect it back in '82 from Parklane, still have the 'six by six' photo pack that came with it. The photos are hanging in my garden house. Wish I could afford to buy one but out of my reach.

E24 Parts are gold these days, especially in Australia. I hope you saved the electric headlight units too they are rare to find. The arms are one of the hardest bits to get.

If it's from Great Yarmouth it's a definite "seaside car", i.e. lots of salt water in the air to rust the car to bits. Was always told to avoid cars from the coastal towns.

Smashing the vids Josh , love all your content. Nice to see you rescuing cars from my era . Wish I had the for thought to buy them late 80s 1990s 🙃although I’d need a warehouse to keep all the ones I did sell lol . All the best ❤️

I saw this on Facebook and tried to tag you in. Then I realised I didn't have you on my Facebook. I'm glad you bought it though!

i also need the small plastic triangle for the side view mirror on the left hand side.

Do you remember that time when people used to use small chocks to stop car wheels from moving??. Apparently you can use the stumps from chopped-down bushes as well. I'm guessing you could use those stumps to effectively stop a car, and I bet the car would even give up it's bumper before rolling OVER AN EFFING STUMP FFS. 😟

I actually prefer the earlier chrome and rubber bumpers to the late impact ones!

Best way of doing that is to pack all the bits as you strip - so much easier to know what you have and get it posted out quick

11:47 number plate tag for Motofacts which are in Lowestoft, Suffolk. Right by the sea. That may explain the rust issue.

Isn’t worth doing a will it run before you strip it?

Good buy in my book. All old cars are disappearing now so if you’re into them and get the chance to buy a parts car paying over the odds is something that has to be done. You’re sitting pretty with the parts you need and also clawing back your out lay from others. All said and done it’s about keeping stylish old cars on the road and we all know that isn’t cheap!

Love the registration, my initials 🤣

You usually do the first damage on a new trailer the first week. thats my experience. haha

My old E34 540i went to Poland. Massive artic truck turned up to take it away. Big business over there for old BM bits.

You are brave for standing underneath that 😂

Saw this on eBay! Was going to buy it but looked a bit too far gone for me. Good man great to follow this.

In April 1979 had a bran new 633 CSI Halmark...21,000 pounds... with G.P.O radio phone....that car isaint worth saving....

What is it about this particular model of bmw why are they all sitting in yards ,fields ,garages ? I remember one parked in a yard of a local engineering company near where I live the place was sold off and the bmw just sat in the yard windows broken unloved couldn’t believe it real shame .

Nice video!

A 635 is on my bucket list of cars I have to own. There’s so many neglected examples out there it’s a shame!

Poor old 635 csi even as a rolling wreck still a handsome car. You should put the manual gearbox from the 535 into the red 635 if it fits ….

i would really like to buy the rear fender flares from this car. I am located in NY.

I'm not a BMW fan, but this car I did want to purchase. I just love the body style! If you were in the United States I probably would have purchased the car from you and have it restored! 🤷💯

Not quite a Rolls Royce donor but it’s a start 👍 Always entertaining Josh 👍

Saw this on eBay ⭐️

How many BMW's do you want josh 😂 but that's a rare old tank my best mates dad had one the same model 635 CSI and the same colour ten years ago it went well when you hammed it and got it rolling as it was heavy should be able to sell nearly everything off the shell look at your friend Matt with the X5 with the private plate he must have a good job and fair play as long mum and dad didn't pay for it your other mates BMW you did all the welding on was nearly as bad as that scrap one 😂🤣 shame that engine won't run as it looked like its been sat 20 years or more you got to do some cleaning after it get i off the ramp

I’m curious if your glasses lenses are some sort of anti glare or are they just permanently filthy?

You deserve to get your money back, there's so much work in stripping a car and sounds like you can help loads of other projects out there too.

Scrap why would you lol good content

Obviously the alloys are coming off 😊

Josh, you need to take it all even the back seat buckets and frames...everything, a good trimmer can recreate something if he has one to look at ...if it isn't there he can't copy it. You'll get your money back...Ignore all the blabbers, they haven't a clue...;D

Just watched this video . Message yesterday re steering linkage

Peek the prelude slammed in the background….

A million pieces and a pound each piece,your minted mate🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🇬🇧🇬🇧

Smashing it with the content recently Josh 👆

UK’s only… cars graveyard 😅

I’m sure I see this for sale recently on marketplace?! Thought it was a bit of you!

Can I buy the steering wheel?

Take it to Yorkshire car restoration it will be a doddle for them to restore they love rotted beamers

There's project cars then there's real project cars 😂

Good luck 😂❤🎉

You paid good money for that rust

has it got full BMW service history ? 🤔

crazy but may be worth the effort

these always rusted really badly and it's what stopped me getting one even back in the mid 1990's

Good luck to you 🍀🍀🍀 interesting good job👍

That's worth like a million quid@!

What a classic! Cannot believe these cars are left to rot...glad they get located and rescued

U jammy git 🍀

Fellow E24 sufferer here. Would you be interested in parting out the headlamp wiper mechanism? UK based

Optimistic lol

Pretty sure the M30B34 produced more power than the M30B35 (160 vs 155kW).

Blimey josh never seen a car that rotten not so good it cost a bit now you got to claw back your money but then what bits you have got will keep another on the road 👍

Would be funny if you took it for an mot 😂

Was it this rusty when parked? This is why I'd never buy a car out of the UK absolutely disaster areas.

Good price

Sometimes this is what it takes to get what you need. Just a question. Why does nobody ever seem to take some good wheels when picking up a car that has been sitting for ages. Not a criticism just a question. Have a good week. Marc from Australia 🇦🇺

Are you not in the USA ??

That will be a money pit

#brave

Still let rust than Taylor’s BMW you were welding up 😂

What a rot box

yea i think they had your pants down for what you oaid

Please keep the original alloys too

use a bit of common sense when buying these old motors, brush the loose debris off the cars B4 LEAVING, something like a small branch "could" blow off the car you bought, causing a potential accident if a car behind has to swerve to avoid it, and DON`T USE YOUR PHONE WHILE DRIVING, apart from these silly mistakes, a decent channel to watch.....

Mate, if you do not need another car, donations are welcome my way!!! 😁😁 In other news, surely that is beyond saving? Ok edit, from what I can see, the parts are buggered!

What a rotter!!!!

You need yo up your medication

Moc mluvíš a nic neděláš

Fkn brambles!

Cowboys no wonder u got time for ur own cars, i wouldnt let u near mine with a spanner then again whos the spanner

This is a parts car only... Hope you did not pay more than 1k

Только умный человек в очках из британии может найти это.Человек в очках из Тель авив?Совсем больной.

Its a plant pot... not a car anymore. Nice UK weather mase its job 😂

WTAF he drove it all that way and basically abandoned it, all for a few parts. Even in 2006 these were starting to rise in value. 🫨

Seen this advertised and thought that isn’t too bad🫣 I reckon you’ll easily earn your money back off the bits you don’t need!
