Nice E28. It's funny both cars are that sexy silver! :up:

Can't wait to see what you do to it...... 8)

is that a Ford Astro Van? :?

[boom-monkey]

Nice, but I hate those wheels. Even worse then our bottlecaps.

[Court M3]

Nice E28 What are your plans for it down the road? What is the color code for it by the way? is it 203/7 or 208/7?

is that a Ford Astro Van? :?

Yes indeed it is an Astro van! lol

Very Sexy 535iS.

Lets hear the future plans for it!

[M3 Ryan]

I think its 203, not sure.
I have a set of 18" M5 E39 wheels for it, but I may get some 840 wheels instead.
I also got a set of 4-pot front M5 calipers for it, so the brakes will be slightly improved with 300MM rotors aswell.

its just my daily driver. I will clean up the paint and interior a bit and just drive it for a few years, then slap a turbo on it for under $1k and have a badass car to get around in 8)

[SlammedE30]

E28 POWA!!! Haha, my first car was an E28. They are badass, I had those wheels on it too!! 8) Awesome,

That thing will look pretty nice when you get all that chrome trim taken care of. Get that bumper trim painted body color when you get the paint taken care of. Our burgandy e28 looks 100 times better with body color trim. Unfortunately it's just a lowly 528e automatic. Some say the slowest bmw made during its time. lol. It has the 'is' front spoiler, 'is' rear lip, and a set of 328is wheels on it. I'll get some pictures of the thing someday. We are about ready to retire it with 250k miles. It will then become my project car with a big future.

Sounds like your car will be pretty hot when its all done with.

Im interested in getting a new e30 or e28, where did you go about looking for this one and where did you finally find it?

[mgold]

Nice car, that E28 should be pretty easy to work on and maintain. That M30 motor should be pretty bulletproof. Enjoy!

[M3 Ryan]

I am getting another M30 this week so I can rebuild it in my engine rebuilding class. I want to run it with 10:1 compression, and then in a few years I will install a copper headgasket and turbo it with 8:1 compression and 10psi.
These motors are bulletproof, and this one runs very stong and healthy, but I have the oppertunity to build a motor right now in my class for free, and use the shop to install it so its not really a question of to do it or not, I am just going to do it. 8)

I found this car on Autotrader.com, called on it before I sold my other car and then called after I sold the 325E. He still had it, so I went and looked at it, liked it, and bought it right then and there. They are awesome cars, and this one was quite a find with its condition/miles/price.

is that a Ford Astro Van? :?

Yes indeed it is an Astro van!

Isn't that a Ford Aerostar?? The Astro van is made by chevy not ford.

[Digitalwave]

What is the need for a 10:1 daily driver? :)

[Jand3rson]

Nice, but I hate those wheels. Even worse then our bottlecaps.

They are not great, but they look better than the stocker E28 wheels.

That is an awesome car Ryan, I would love to have a 535iS. The shadowline on the tailights looks awesome, like an M5.

[reelizmpro]

Sweet the 535iS is a great car to have. Must be nice to have a 4 door car with some decent power. I have a set of M throwing stars that would go perfect with it.. ;)
