How is that a euro bumper swap can cost 3 grand?

The euro bumper swap on the e28 requires at the very least, quite a bit of fabrication.

If you chose not to purchase new euro components (valance, frame rails, etc.) It requires a shit ton of fabrication.

A lot of parts are required.

See here.

Looks great. Such an awesome car.

I'm curious about the dyno as well.

Daaaaaamn...excellent find.

6 TBs make a nice racket, don't they?

E28's do rock when done right. Maybe it is better that 99% of the old shitheaps you see rolling around are so fucking ugly, it makes the better ones look even more stunning.

What do ya have in mind for the stereo?

I am gonna be starting on James' pretty soon, so I can build shit for his and ship it to you.

E28 boxes area definite go. I think I can do a "no cut" box, but I don't know yet.

thanks for the invite, but i've got family stuff planned tomorrow. i would love to check out your shop on a different day. have any more bbqs planned for the spring?

I will surely do another BBQ soon. I think I will have them every 2 months or so. I will keep you posted for the next one. I usually post it up on BayE30 so keep an eye for it in the events section.

Huh, part of my wishes you kept the RS's on there as they seem more period correct for the E28.
Nice car! Want to cruise up to my shop tomorrow for a BBQ here in Auburn? Theres like 3 E30 guys headed up here for it...

oh man, bummer.

[blunttech]

what a sweet fukin ride,. im cummin out there to torture it and put it in a drainage ditch. i will bring avi and he will trim the hedges with it

I also like the Alpinas more than the RSs... If they were 17" RSs that might be a different story.

the car came with a nakamichi cd400.
i've got a set of infinity kappa 4x6 plates for the front. i'm keeping the rear stock premium speakers. i'm going to power those with a nakamichi pa-304 amp.
i just bought a jl 250 1 amp for a 10 or 12 inch sub. i'm probably going to go with a sealed box to conserve trunk space.

m5 is the only thing i would trade/sell my e30 for.

lol.

[CleanAzzE30z]

since i bought the car i've had the front end reprayed and done a few other minor things. i sold the bbs rss that were on there and refinished a set of staggered alpinas and just put them on. here are a couple of pics of the car cleaned up.
next up is a decent stereo

Oh jesus that looks erection-inducing.

I used to live down the street from this car. I would hear it come and go. Loved it. I wanted to buy it, but was too late.

Looking good.
