E28 M535i back into the family after 30years & 318,000km

Recommended Posts

just couldn't help myself

had to buy this after I sold my last e28.

was brought new by my dad new back in 1986.

he sold it few years later.

I have know of its where abouts for about 12-14 years now.

been owned by a friend of mine for the last 8-10 years

not been used for the last 5-6years etc

plan is to just sort the little things

refit the AC panel and aux fan

gearknob

sort a stereo for it

fix the play in the steering and gearlever etc

wheels upgrade

rest of the car is pretty good

been owned by a mobile mechanic guy and car collector

so most things are pretty sorted

body and seats have had a refreshed etc

yea but so stock compared to the last one ;)

diamond schwarz metallic , car has had a repaint though.

no s38 as of yet , but I have driven a s38b36 e28 and my 3.65L m88 was way better , I think

if I did would need to a be a built up s38b36 as they need more cam ,bore size and compression etc

Gorgeous. Great plate too, re-do it as a europlate :)

yes might do , or can you redo these old cars back into a black plate?

was originally MT693 ,

https://carjam.co.nz/car/?plate=na535

but my dad knew someone in the postoffice and who found the NA535 plate as that's my dads initials

plate came up from Johnsonville, Wellington , which interesting was the place of one of the old owners I tracked down years ago

when I 1st started looking for this car.

tried to buy it off the guy then , but was not for sale at that stage ,

gave him my details for when I=he wanted to sell it , but ended up in trade-n-exchange and sold before I found out about it

, then a few years later poped up on trademe , I didn't really want another e28 at that stage , so let it go ,but my mate brought it instead and has had it for about 10years now but only really used it for a few years .

brilliant. ISTR most of the NA plates were Wellington, yeah?

yea plate came from Johnsonville, Wellington.

wheels I believe are early e38 750i type , I will most likely sell them at some stage when I decide what I want to replace them with

That's a great story, Brent. Keep it for the kids!

yea maybe ;S

thinking of these as a option

custom wheels with the metric centres built into BBS RS lips

orginal wheels where the other type only found on the M535i
