New E28 Owner Here

[Fuel]

I just picked up my E28 on 1/1/09 and I am slowly becoming an enthusiast towards E28s, but I'm looking for any clubs located in the southern TN or north GA area. I'm located in Chattanooga TN, but I got to school in Cookeville TN.

Looks like a pretty solid E28 you have. 535is? Cirrusblau?

Check out MyE28, there is quite a bit of E28 knowledge floating around that site. They're neat cars built in the era when BMW overengineered their cars. If you're ever looking to make it look better then I recommend euro bumpers, euro H1/H4 headlamps, and some 16" Style 5's (the base wheel on E38 740i/iL's.) It really makes the car look good IMO.

Welcome to the board.

That's cool, yeah now that I look at that front valence it definitely isn't an "is" valence. Cool car though. If you haven't got it already, a 3.25 LSD would be a pretty nice addition to that car.

My brother also has an '88, it's a 535is though. He got it locally, original paint, mostly stock, it was pampered by the PO. It's no thriller in comparison to the E30, but it makes a great highway cruiser.



Nothing wild, not a swap car or anything (not yet at least) but it has been well taken care of. They're neat cars.

Welcome to the world of E28s. Definitely get a look at the forum at www.mye28.com.
The front spoiler might be one from Electrodyne here in VA - very similar to the stock sport spoiler.
The BMW Car Club of America has chapters in Chattanooga, Knoxville and Nashville:

Early shots with US headlamps and 15" E34 basketweaves:





Later shots with 16" Style 5's/E38 basketweaves:









He's currently running a set of euro H1/H4 lamps and the same 16" Style 5's, euro bumpers should be on the car by the middle of the year hopefully.

Do you know what size tires are on these 16's?

e28s are cool. Classic comfortable car. I had one as weekend ride for almost a year, regret selling it. You can turn them in to headturner with few upgrades. Love the wheels on yours.

Here is mine.
