E30 Vs. E28

[BMC227]

If you are saying a e30 with the 2.7 is slow, and that a e28 will be even slower.

Then I am saying, that I dont care. Any car can be driven fast. Those cars I referenced above are a citroen 2cv, a saab 95 wagon (ford V4), and a four pot Alfa Romeo Alfetta sedan.

E28s will surely be fun

My e28 will murder my e30 alpina 2.7. Never under estimate the power of a proper built M30 engine. My e28 now as is has that much power and torque, it's hard to keep it straight with the 9.5inch Alpina wheels and thats with new tyres. They're a magnificent car! God bless them.

Talk about a beautiful car. Good price too.

BTW let's make this a poll.

But you keep using the words 'fast' and 'slow.' I'm talking about relative hp vs mpg, and the 12vs come up short.

then go drive an e36.

170hp and 25mpg is pretty decent. if you want to bitch about it. go ahead. no one really cares.

so what if a corvette, 400hp, gets 29mpg on the highway. and yes, they are more fun to drive. and if you think that is so great. go buy one and quit complaining.

if i could only have 1 car, i'd pick an e30 over a vette. over a much larger picture, that includes fun, mpg, practicality, cost of maintenance, insurance, etc., the e30 is a better car for me to own.

Well e28s arent half bad obviously..

I'm not really bitching about it, I'm just saying it how it is. I love the m20, but it has its flaws. I'm not in the 'god's chariot' crew.

M20 was/is outdated. But a m50 swap into an e28 is definitely possible. It uses same motor mounts as e30 most likely.

M50 swap? if that's the case i wouldn't bother buying an e28.

Im not planning on one.

Just saying, these cars have just as much potential.

A built n/a m30 sounds heavenly

ive owned both,i prefer the looks of an e30 only slightly more, but the e28 feels better to drive and is more fun. I will say the e30 did handle better but not my much, you can just tell that the m30 is a better motor, drive each and decide for yourself.

[ieatpeople]

having owned 3 e28's and 3 e30's (all at the same time), i prefer the e28. i love the way it handles. i know it doesn't handle like an e30, but it will still surprise the hell out of most people who just see "some old bmw". i am a pretty big guy, so i like having a little more interior room also.

and, like some people said, the 528e will never die. at least, not so long as you do timing belts and oil changes.

If you wanna see a fast auto e28, look up TCD on mye28. Sure it's turbo, but its damn fast, and it's an auto.

I drove an auto M30B34 e28 and it was a blast! Cornering, rolling exit ramps @ 70+ on worn out suspension that still felt like it turned on rails. Everyone always gave me shit until I gave them a ride down some back roads in my old person's car.

....then I swapped in a B35 w/5sp & M5 f/w and clutch. Now it's just fast everywhere.:twisted:

I think E28 is better for me at this point..

[InuFaye]

we have lost another one!

I know where you can get an 86 auto eta for 900 dollars. It has lots of sweet mods.
