    euro e28 fs. 5sp alpine on cardinal.

    bought it from a mye28.com forum member, here:



    it wasnt close to being as nice as described, HOWEVER, i spent several thousand dollars, and countless hours getting to the condition which i expected at time of purchase.

    this is how she sits now.













    i added a brake upgrade from an E34, 18" staggered style 5s. front and rear strut braces, adjustable sway bars, Mtech spoiler, M5 front valance, and about 40 hours in work to the the front and rear valances alone. sandblasted and powdercoated headlight assemblies, clear euro corner markers, and some other goodies... i have a euro fire extinguisher, road triangle, tool kit, M5 trunk kit, (installed already) black trunk lid liner, etc etc...

    the euro conversion that the previous owner did was a fucking joke. all of the holes were GLUED shut, so i took the car apart and had it done correctly. replaced both bumpers, and did a ton of welding and paint work to make it correct.

    it was purchased in san diego, and a friend drove it to portland, with no issues... however, when it arrived, i found a bunch of stuff that needed to be addressed.

    the only things i havent looked into are the sunroof not sliding, and the heater blower not working unless the ac is on. i have a new switch, and a blower motor, as well as a complete new AC system from the wrecked black car that i can toss in.

    it is easily one of the nicest and most solid E28s out there, and i planned to keep it until i decided tonight to take my business in a new direction that requires a little bit of capital.

    im looking to get 10k for it without the wheels. (16" basketweaves in great shape will be included) or 12k with the style 5s.

    i'll also throw in a set of freshly painted alpine euro fender flares, and a euro remote oil cooler assembly, which is complete.


    the interior is nice.... the rear seat could use some attention, but it's not bad. the fronts are amazing. as nice as the pics, or better.

    right now i'm not flexible on the price, nor am i looking to sell anything separate, unless the car sells without the style 5s....

        Wow, that thread off of mye28 made it sound like freaking car of the year! RonP and everyone applauding it and all. I'm sure it is nice, but sorry to hear it wasn't all that it lived up to. Maybe post the interior, miles and what not and let us know why it's a 10k car. The thread on mye28 explains some of it, but it's your car now, not his, so your description is a little lacking.

          this car is awesome! I love e28's and miss mine dearly... however, you do know that you can get into an E28 M5 for under 10k I hope...

            yep... and E28s are a nightmare, once you tear into the S38 engine.

            i know what these cars are worth, and this one isnt going anywhere for under 10k, WITHOUT the wheels.

              The price may seem tad high but I dont see any other b35, euro swapped e28's with that interior to compete with it so its worth what someone will pay, and I'll be someone will pay pretty close to what you want. Nice car, my favorite color combo hands down!

                i paid 12.5k for it BEFORE the staggered style 5s, the big brakes, the suspension, the fixed valances, the m5 lip, the decklid spoiler, and a ton of other stuff...

                ive got close to 20k into this car, and i have no regrets with any of it.

                  wow, my dream car with my favorite color combo. I passed on my friend's black on black M535i and totally regret it. I'd seriously consider it if you weren't on the other side of the country. GLWS

                    Go get it or have it shipped, this car is worth it and the owner is no joke, he has a great collection.

                          Shipping is not that expensive and there are some carriers that are much better than others.

                          Best of luck with the sale.

                            True, BUT, an M5 for 10k isn't going to be anywhere near the condition this car is... Therefore I would say this car is DEFINATELY worth 10k....

                            I love black license plate area. So beautiful man, best of luck with sale!

                              ship it! you likely wont find one in this condition on the east coast, unless it was shippd from the west. i know from first hand experience.

                              thanks Adam! miles are around 235k on the chassis. 90k-ish on the engine.

                              thank you.. shipping to the east coast would be around 800-900 bucks.
                              if you fly out to see it, and dont like it, i'll refund your plane ticket cost up to 400 bucks. i'm that confident in it's condition.
