I haven't got a chance to take her out for a spin yet, but if the weather permitted this weekend I will definitely took her out for a spin. Just be gentle when you see me nanaing on the road lol 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cannabis9478 24 Report post Posted April 14, 2016 lol, nope just reminding myself not to get myself suspended. So easy to get carried away with the E28. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cannabis9478 24 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 Took the brute out yesterday and today! Great car to drive but kind of hard when stuck in traffic. The steering shakes when brake pedal is pressed sometimes. Might need to get it checked. Was busy oiling/waxing the leather and the dash today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM WORLD 1258 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 replace the front thrust arm bushes or the wholes arms m that should sort the wobble. mainly used to do it when cold but less when all warmed up. part 5 and 6 http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/E28/Europe/M535i-M30/R-M/browse/front_axle/front_axle_support_wishbone/ I think the bush that's in there was a upgrade one from a e32 750i etc common mod done to make it stiffer etc or just do all 4 arms.

Cannabis9478 24 Report post Posted April 17, 2016 Thanks Brent for the tip for E32 750I bushes, will look into that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cannabis9478 24 Report post Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) Found out front fog light won't light up, fuses looked ok. But noticed the supplementary fan fuse contact has melted. Wondering if E24 fuse box retro fit is an easy option. Also need to find out why the interior light won't light up when the switch in "door" setting. And the rear defogger needs to be hooked up. Time to give my aprky mate a call. Also read from oversea forums that you can replace E28 lower wishbone (steel) to E34 low wishbone(aluminum) for better responses. Any thoughts?
