Heading to look at an E28 on Craigslist.

Keep the car, add cool wheels, drop it low. E28's are awesome cruisers. I am in the process of gathering parts for mine, can't wait to get it done. Nice score for 6 hundy

^^ except don't flip the car. Unless you sell it to me for what you paid.

I'll try to get some tomorrow but I just have an old cameraphone and the car's really dirty from sitting out for 6 months.

flip the car & work on the e30. otherwise you'll never finish.

This.

e28 + style 5's = killer combination

Aw man you guys are gonna make me wanna keep it. Even my girlfriend likes it which is definitely saying something. Needs new brakes and an upper control arm on the passenger side, a couple of interior lights don't work, gotta get the CD player working. I'll keep ya updated.

Looked at a 535is yesterday. Staggered style 32s with 255 rubber out back. Nice car, ran fine. Weird rear suspension noise that scared my friends away. It was worth the $2100 he was asking. 5 speed too... but my buddy really wasnt digging it and I dont blame him.

Damn they pull after 4k when you are rolling

Also stoked about the wheel options that just opened up to me :)

That is one good thing about the E28. Want BBS? Just slap on E38 style 5s, and they look great. Want a BBK? Just swipe the brakes from any M60 or M70 powered E34 or E32.

So anyway, here is what a (crappy) E28 looks like on E38 style 5s and a drop.

I don't know if two project cars is something I can handle/afford. I have big plans for my E30 and no motor swapping background, if I keep the E28 the Super ETA will probably stay. I see it more as a cruiser and comfort vehicle if I do keep it - something to get me around while the E30 is on jackstands or in the paint booth.

ummm...... his asking price on the add was $500 or to make an offer.... how did you end up driving it home for $100 more?!?1 lol :loco:

Did you read the thread? no, you didn't read the thread. EDIT: Blunt beat me to it, and in a much more lenient way.


Also, OP, that is a GREAT deal. Alpine is the best color on an E28 hands down, and that thing looks clean. I would pay $500 for that car even if it had no drivetrain. Think of the current drivetrain just as a placeholder and something you can use to move the car around while you look for an M60, or at least an M30B35.

I say keep it.

Agreed to give him an extra 100 because it was suddenly a working vehicle.

I drove it home for 600.

clean and flip then build your e30 :)

[mikeb23ft]

He hadn't started it in 6 months...cranked it once and it died. When I got there it ran. Agreed to give him an extra 100 because it was suddenly a working vehicle. Car had been on craigslist for 10 minutes when I called him, and when I got there he told me he'd already had 5 other callers. I'm the third owner.

Somebody already bypassed the amp and put a cd player in it, premium sound. Drop and wheels or clean and flip it...hmm.

[blunttech]

I drove it home for 600. Rust free, for sure. Don't know what I'm going to do with it yet, might flip it, might keep it as a gas mileage whore, low and slow daily driver...who knows. It's clean, has one dent in the driver's kick panel. Needs suspension like nobody's business. Yeah! I got a new car!

what was it that kept it from running?? Nice score
