Hi, I’m Davide. Two years ago I bought my dream car: a BMW E34 that I’ve always wanted. From day one I had a plan to make it uniquely mine — to build something personal, reliable, and beautiful.

Last year, while driving to my parents’ house for Easter, the car overheated and never started again. Since then it’s been waiting for the restoration and upgrades I envisioned. My goal is to bring it back on the road and complete the build: swap the original M20B20 for an M62B44 engine, install a 6-speed transmission, repair the rust that has formed, repaint the body, and cover other necessary repairs and labor.

I’ve estimated the total cost for parts, repairs, and professional labor at about €30,000 — an amount I can’t afford on my own. I’m asking for help so this car can be restored to safe, reliable condition and finished exactly as I’ve planned.

What the funds will cover:

Engine swap (M62B44) and 6-speed transmission

Rust repair and bodywork, including repainting

Parts, fluids, and ancillary components

Professional labor, diagnostics, and testing

Any required inspections or paperwork

Transparency and updates:

I’ll post regular updates with photos, receipts, and progress reports so you can see how every contribution is used. Even small donations or shares mean a lot and bring me closer to getting my dream car back on the road.

Thank you for any support — it truly makes a difference.

Davide
