eliongater 718 Report post Posted March 16, 2016 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 ).

eliongater 718 Report post Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) 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 Edited March 19, 2016 by eliongater Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olaf 3319 Report post Posted March 20, 2016 your parents are hoping they're not going to have to have the "you're not adding that shitbox onto our driveway - one's enough!!" conversation with you. You might consider concentrating your time/effort/resources onto one, mate. That way you've got a running vehicle; there's always time for more. #8 ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That way you've got a running vehicle; there's always time for more. #8 )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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olaf 3319 Report post Posted March 20, 2016 what's left to do on your e, E? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eliongater 718 Report post Posted March 20, 2016 what's left to do on your e, E?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). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish I had some, unfortunately, it has Jamex ones . Wow, seems strange you cant get on my website, will get my Tech guy to have a look One of my lock ups is in Porirua, so if you want to have a look at some stage let me know I could be interested in a few bits as well Regards Barry 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. mate, that's superb. You'll be ready for a WoF in no time. And then tyres! Or have you sorted that already? That's the plan (hopefully...).
