I think the only straight panel left is the roof. It used to be a mint M5...

A travesty!

However, I see an engine, gearbox and drive train that could (with a lot of effort) be transplanted into, say, an E28 or E34 of some sort.

Waste not, want not and all...

I feel a bit sick after seeing that but I would be tempted to put the running into a cheap 840 to make a real M8 wink

No, no, no. You don't want to transplant it into anything at all, it would be completely useless for anything except scrap now.

In fact, I'll do you a favour and come and pick it up and take it to the scrappy for you if you want? As I'm nice, I won't even charge you for it...

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.
