What's with all the e28's?

[CleanAzzE30z]

I like the "Ronin" plate. You should have come to the meet on Saturday! E34 ///M5 would have been the cherry on the topping!

Oh, and my car is a 3.6.

[SpecRaceM5]

Shit. I'm an asshole. I got busy and forgot about this thread....

If anyone who asked questions sees this:

e28's are good with me.

My wheels are 18x8.5 but I now have the stockers back on for now.

I live in Hollywood, but originally from SD.. Moving back there on the first.

Kevin....wtf? Shoot me a PM and let's hang out some time.

Thanks for the compliments on the car. There are a lot of nice cars on this board, e30, e28, and e34 alike. Any older BMW is cool to me.

Hope that covers all the posts I missed. Again, I'm an ass. If you didn't get replied to, send me a PM.

Cheers,
Brian

All you do is push a button on the steering column and it gives you a graphic display of the oil level. Hell the car will tell you if it needs oil even!

Please explain why having no dipstick is better, because the sensor certainly isn't as reliable as a simple visual check, nor does it tell exactly how much to add.

I guess the dipstick is in the driver's seat now. :giggle:

Oh, and if you're real nice to your indy mechanic, he'll program your car for free. You don't have to go to a dealership.

I do all my own work. Besides, sometimes, I want the interior lights to come when I open the door, sometimes not. Why the hell can't I do this myself? How is having to go find someone else to do it at a great waste of my time better?

Here's another reason I won't buy a new one:

On older cars, when the thermostat starts to go bad, or you are at the start of an overheating issue, you can tell very early by simply observing the behavior of the gauge that moved up and down depending on the actual temperature of the engine. E46's don't do that-they have a "buffered" gauge-because stupid people whined to the dealer that it moved-so BMW said "Fine. From now on, once the engine is warmed up, it won't budge-unless your engine is melting down." Now, there's no gauge at all! Only an Idiot light, so when the weakass plastic shit under the hood cracks and lets the coolant spray everywhere, you'll be told by an "Indicator Light" AKA Replace Engine Soon light that it's time to call AAA.

I guess we really don't need a gas gauge anymore either, huh? After all, the computer knows how much fuel is on board and is monitoring fuel flow and your driving habits. How soon until we have a "Refuel Soon Light" to replace that redundant gauge? If you do not have a manual transmission, get rid of that redundant tach while you're at it! The computer will shift when it needs to.

No thanks to any of the above. I guess I'm too much of a driver, and less of a passive passenger who happens to be steering.

Driver's cars forever! Rolling annuities never!

And I will resist as long as possible buying any car that makes me GUESS how much oil is in the crankcase. Gimme a fukin' dipstick, fer chrissakes! :)

Damn, $9k for a rustless, original panel B35-swapped M535i is not bad at all. As long as the repaint was done alright, that would be a nice car for someone to pick up.

[Old'n'Slow]

Couldn't of said it any better

Might just buy this one. It's an M535is. Not a fussy M5. Has the M30. :up:

[e30edward]

I'm liking all the e28's that have been popping up
on here lately.

I say keep them coming!

[Tree18is]

Yeah thanks for the e28 pictures, there nice cars.

[rhett325i]

E28s are like fat E30s, and we all know that fat chicks need love too!

but seriously, I have been diggin all the clean E28s lately

[twothrees]

Well, some of us have the means to go get a 135i or new M3, but don't want one.

Every time I drive my E46 after my E30, there's no question about which car is put together better. The '80s cars were just plain better. And DIYable too. The new cars are nothing but rolling annuities for the dealer service departments. "Hey, I don't want my interior lights to come on when I open my door". The old way: reach in and move switch to different position. Cost: $0. The new way: wait at dealership while technician reprograms your "entry lighting options". Cost: >$50. Progress for whom?

And I will resist as long as possible buying any car that makes me GUESS how much oil is in the crankcase. Gimme a fukin' dipstick, fer chrissakes! :)

So, I am keeping my E30 M3 for sunny warm weekends, and buying a nice, rust-free 150K mile E28. And not because I have to, but because I choose to.
