What's wrong with it now?

Try and replicate Ernst Fuch's art car.

Yea I can't see anything wrong with it now? I'd definitely kit it then drop it a smidgen before changing the color. Get a kit like whats on GIjoels E28 its tits as.

as the original poster I think you are the nly one who can add a poll to this thread,,,,If this was a poll i would vote for the silver/blue metallic colour , E28 one of the few BMWs to suit lighter colours IMHO...

when you first ade the pot there i a line immediately above the main text box with"manage poll options for this post...."or something like that.You may be able to go in and edt your original post and go from there...you will give us some choices or is that what you want the help with?

Keep it silver, and spend the money on a Cardinal red leather interior. Would look tits with the silver coachwork.

Oh, and Cardinal is a dark red, not that naff 'Holden Racing Team themed Bordello' red. Just in case someone doubted my exceptional taste for a minute there.

I'd keep it the original colour and forget about lowering/kits etc.... it's a 520i, not a performance machine... I think it would look best if you could upgrade it to executive spec (leather etc), and leave it at that.

I'm interested to see what you do with the car, as my grandmother is selling my father her '83 528i tourist delivery car and we're looking at restoring it.

Red is faster!! My e28 is Zinnoberrot, paint yours Brilliantrot (like my e30 vert) which is even redder!!

Wow, thats a nice e28, I vote red!

[martyyn 2]

Mr Dawg, I vote you paint it the colour it is now. The e28 is one car that I believe suits lighter colours and I wouldve thought youd have less trouble respraying it the same colour, not that I know anything about it.

Zinnoberrot e28....sigh

theres a fantastic example that drives round the bays where i live i see it every morning without fail and get very excited at how beautiful it is.

its white with what im guessing are alpina blue/red trim...absolutely stunning peice of machinery.

id go white with some gold baskets...

thats would be gorgeous

hi there ppl i have come up with a colour that i think that would be a nice colour a metallic steel blue with a purple hue pearl .

what are other peoples thoughts about the colour ?

im thinking of the thoughts that users came up with by not going to any dark colours but keeping it light and giving the style lines of a old skool BMW

I think you are on the right track....keep your eyes open and you will see a number of E28,s around,and IMHO they suit lighter colours...
