How did you find all those goodies, leather sports seats, flares, premium speakers? (In saying that I found a whole car of goodies)
-
How are you dealing with mounting the engine? The bolt holes aren't on the block for the e28 arms/mounts.
-
That interior! So nice. The cloth ones are still pretty comfortable though
-
I wish I had some, unfortunately, it has Jamex ones . It seemed to work sometimes and not others, so I'm not sure what's going on sorry. I'll give you a ring tonight/nowish. That's the plan (hopefully...). I can get a wof on the stock wheels and tyres, but once I decide what I'm doing there I can sort that in a day or two.
-
Retune it (running a standard 2.5 tune with lower rev limit), properly attach the shift linkage, finish the engine to body loom adapter, repair/mod the engine loom to suit an e28 vs e30 and fit the correct throttle body and boot to suit the ICV. I either have the parts or they are on their way (1 or 2 small things left to sort).

I'll only have one on the driveway at a time, for that very reason. I'll still be focusing on the 525e which is almost ready now anyway. This is more of a longer term project
-
Hahaha, only fair you make that comment . It won't be 3 for very long at all and I might have to bring it back to one at some point
-
Flashed the m30 ECU to a motronic 1.3 m20b25 (working on an m20b27 bin)... and drove it up the drive . Not the smoothest drive yet, but a huge improvement. It actually has some power now. Pictures to come
-
Sorry I haven't rung you yet Barry, I've been meaning to. I'll probably be fixing the m535i. I may have ended up with another parts car for both the 525e and m535i now lol. If I have any parts left after fixing both I'll let you know. EDIT: Pics soon
-
Drove it
-
Pretty sure they are north of $50k, probably well north now
-
I think they will fit an e28, except they will raise it?
-
Score!
-
Thanks. Your website isn't working for me though. I get a 403 forbidden error
-
This is storage if I decide not to strip it. Otherwise the plan is to strip it this weekend
-
Hi guys, I wasn't planning on buying another project but an e28 m535i popped up for a price I couldn't refuse... I've now got two (maybe) e28 project cars and only space for one. I haven't had time to properly check the body yet, but will be doing so this weekend. If I decide it's worth saving I'll need somewhere to store it (fairly long term I think), if it's too far gone I'll just remove all the parts and put them on my 525e and scrap the body (as much as it pains me to do so ).
-
Hahaha, that would be too easy. Reg on hold, no wof engine or gearbox lol. I do have an engine and gearbox for it though. I need to check it out this weekend during the day with a jack, torch and a rag/cleaner to see if it's worth saving.

Blue race car one? No, a white auto one with blue/grey cloth interior. Rego tb8839
-
Getting an m535i e28 so cheap it's almost theft EDIT: With a moonroof!!!
-
A local street that had a nice smooth finish was torn up and replaced with some chip stuff. It's worse than how it was, and I swear more of the stones are loose than not. Plus it's starting to make a mess with all the stones going everywhere.
-
My dad can tell the difference between an e34 and an e32. I'm slowly converting him...
-
How much will a wrecker give you?
-
That's awesome
