bargeE28 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 hey guys, my name's andrew and ive come across from ECCA with for those of you that dont know it's a large aussie based car club, great members and cars there. i was sent here from a guy at bimmerforums because you guys seem to have a lot of old skool E28 stuff for sale, so i tend to make plenty use of this! anyway a background on me, im a landscaper from Melbourne, 24yo, i own to E28's and a large mitsy triton ute with i use for my job, and my E28's are the weekend fun cars. this 'was' the polaris E28, ive stripped it back to a standard E28 and is now just sitting in my front yard, i just have to get the courage up to sell it, it's been in the family since 87'... and here is the new one, it's chestnut metallic which was a UK imported E28, we werent given the option of this colour here in Aus, and it's a very rare E28 colour indeed. thats 1/3 the reason i bought it, it was only 1500 cash AND it was manual, thank god!!!!!!!!! so far ive put RD springs in it which have lowered it around 30mm at all corners, BBS RS wheels 16X8, and soon to have Alpina front spoiler...
