E28 Master of diguises

hey there are there anybody in here that know of any information on the whereabouts i could source a turbo kit from as i would like to turbo my E28 i am doing an engine swap out of a 83 model 525i into mine as my one is a lil old due to the fact that it has been around the clock 3 times and the engine that i would be getting has been reconditioned and has a guarantee of 200.000kms.

hey there is there anybody within this fraternity of bmw lovers that know any information regarding the Kjettronic fuel injection units on the older 5 series car's

i have taken my car into a mechanic that worked on BMW's in his life time to try and solve the problem with my car after doing a compression test and rigorous checks on the car he had narrowed it down to the sole problem being the fuel injection unit on my car the compression test ruled out that 2 of the 6 cyl had low compression and later found a vacum leak etc.

but what i would like to know if there is anybody that could help me out with any information or places that i could take my car to?

what i am experiencing is an issue with the fuel system but again i am not too sure.

What sort of steering wheel...I have a boss kit for SAAS wheel for a E28 that I'll sell

hey there mate do you have any pictures of the item that you are selling and how much would you sell including postage?

is it a boss kit?? and what options of steering wheels would it allow me to choose from?

would anybody know of any information about what the fitments are for a boss-kit to go a E28 as they have them selling on trade me but are for E30 BMW's would the E30 boss-kits fit a E28?

might be possible to switch the smaller headlight...but the outside headlight of the e 28 is the old 7 inch one,the inner may be the same(155mm or so) as the e30 and e34

so you think that it is possible to fit even the front head lights of an e34 as i would like to add angel eye's to a E28 as i think that there is no E28 with angel eye's installed

hey there i was wondering if any people had any information on the headlight spec's of both the E28-E30???

Cause i was wondering if it is possible to convert to the e30 light as i was after the angel eye's to put onto my E28 to give it that character look that it so much deserves so much can this be done or is it a straight up answer of !!!! NO!!!

it would be helpful if anybody had some information

hey there i was wondering if i could purchase these lights of you how would i go about doing so?

I do them myself using air brush and equipment. I mix the tint myself, it is hardwearng enamel. The result is proffessional, but I am not a professional painter - I have however smoked countless sets of lights and everyone had nothing but positive things to say about the work.

1 set of smoked E28 tail lights!

not quite as dark as the ones in the photos. (they were a little too dark to let enough light through)

$80 ono

Hi there mate i was just wondering if these are done yourself or were they professionally by some one else???

Re your fuel and temp - when you say they are inaccurate what do you mean - are they reading low/high/going all over the place..what?

Generally the symptoms that you have described are caused by dead or dying batteries on the SI (Service Indicator) board inside your cluster. Have you replaced these? The E30 ones are actually soldered on.

Another thing that will cause this is bad connections from the gauges themselves. Make sure that the we nut the holds the gauge to the board has a washer and that its clean and tight so that an electrical connection is made. As you have an E28 Im only guessing that they are similar in construction to the E30

I deem to say when the gauges are reading inaccurately it means that yes they are reading all over the place for the fuel and the water temp isn't moving at all

Hi there ppl i was wondering if there is anyone out their that are bmw mechanics or are enthusiasts at heart that could help a like-minded person like myself that is wanting to gain a bit of BMW knowledge.

the problem that i have is i have just replaced my dash cluster i have all important dials going ( speedo, rev counter) but i still have problems with the odometer is not rolling over, and the fuel meter and temp is still inaccurate

Can someone please help I'll be willing to exchange a box of beers in return for a bit of helping out

please help me I would like to get this Ole skool beema up and rolling as well as legal beagle and on the road

When you say you have replaced the cluster I take it you mean that you have bought a second hand unit? If this is the case then the one you bought is obviously faulty. Just by removing and reinstalling the original should not affect the odometer. The odometer can be replaced on its own or individual gears, but if you are not sure on what you are doing I would suggest that someone who has some experience, carry this out for you. It's not so much difficult as fiddly.

Could you please point me in the right direction to get this work done IE getting the instrument cluster looked at?

i need just abit of help i have replaced the cluster and now the speedometer work but the odometer number don't change why is that can someone help me out?
