very nice and rare car.
dose it have e30 parts on it?(back door cards, back seats and horse shoe)roof?

[Jeroen]

THat is most likely indeed. What I know at least the softtop cover is E30. They started building these in 1987 when the E30 convertible was already there so I guess they borrowed a few E30 parts.

Not lacking ground clearance is it?

[Jeroen]

LOL it's ready for the Dakar Rally atm but experiments with different suspension setups are already planned.

[drilla]

iv been trying to find some info on this build, there is not much out there?
how come the lumma build is not Not lacking ground clearance un like the peters convertible witch has a frame made up to support body of the car?
how did luuma support there bodys?

[Jeroen]

Perhaps they went through some more effort to get car fortified on the inside? I also have the Lumma brochure on the page on convertibles: http://www.bmwe21.net/?page_id=144

[drilla]

thanks Jeroen,
iv see this page a few times what i need to no what was done to the body structure if any one car help me?
or what would need to be done?

[Jeroen]

Owner Jan is a member here under userid Gator and I believe he's done the entire restore himself, perhaps drop him a line? Perhaps he can add photos of the restore to this topic as well!

Hi,

rather coincidential I found this forum and pretty soon then also this thread.
I've seen this car in real at that meeting and would like to know a bit more about it.
Because I own a kind of the same car and it would be great to exchange some details for specific problem solutions.
Mine is not a Lumma nor is it a Peters.
I prefered to build it my own (already 17 years ago if I remember that right) and therefor there are for sure some differences in the details, even if the roof parts are quite the same, as they are borrowed from the e30 series.

Pics will come in a seperate thread (don't wanna disturb this one).

cheers

Ingo,

For general info we have our page on convertibles (btw now also includes some info on the Lumma pickup conversions and I have more info on the Lumma pick ups on request).
The page is located here: http://www.bmwe21.net/?page_id=144

If you'd like to contact the owner of this particular car, his contact details are a few posts up in this thread.
