E30 Vs. E28

[Wh33lhop]

One reason is that the E28 s are all sedans while the E30s are sedans, coupes and convets.

No E30 coupes were made. ;)

Yep, don't mind them other than the UGLY bumpers... they make e30 diving board bumpers look good.

Between the E34 and the E28...well, I really like the domlight control switch on the E28, how about that?

Second reason runner-up is that the E30 offered the late model plastics, while the E28 went to the E34 before plastics were introduced.

I think that pretty much sums it up. I had a clean 535i with a five speed but hated those god aweful US bumpers. Moreover, it's not a straight-forward swap to euro bumpers. I'll only get another one if it's a true Euro. They are nice, roomy cars that stand out in a crowd.

I love E28s. I have owned three of them (and an E12).

However, E28s are heavier and not as sporty as the E30, plain and simple. I think that alone puts an E28 below an E30. Second reason runner-up is that the E30 offered the late model plastics, while the E28 went to the E34 before plastics were introduced.

Here is a little inspiration:

I love E28s i was looking forever to buy another one as a winter beater buy couldn't find anything for sale local! ended up picking up a 4 door e30. but you can't kill a 528e e28. seriously. they are tanks!

If the fucking ugly-ass things triple in value they still won't be worth nothing

[kingston]

I WILL own an E28 one day. Official. There, maybe that increased demand will help drive the prices up!

[call me jack]

Don't get me wrong, I like the E28. It's just quite obvious why they go for less than an E30 - the demand is lower and the market is smaller. Nobody who wants luxury cares if the E28 was high end in 1984 - they want to know if it will synch up to their iphone and update their facebook page. :p

wait, my e28 can sync my phone and do facebook? god them germans are so ahead of there time.

Because the Jews owned the E28s and the Jews killed Jesus.

So I did a quick search, but couldn't find anything, still trying to figure it out. Why is it that the 3 series, the "bottom of the line" BMW, is ranging, in decent condition, around 2-3K whereas an e28 in the same condition is 1-1.5K?

Because the Jews owned the E28s and the Jews killed Jesus.

fucking DUH, everyone knows that.

I love my e30s, but I am seeing e28s for sale local and I WANT ONE! Just a lowish DD that is not rough like my e30. I want that m5 in the for sale section on here. So sexy!
