what ya reckon, like it or not, shame about the red pinstrip, has a mint interior as well

[HartgeH27]

Bit more spec ? Whats the car like ?

Blimey you 6.59 guys never get it right !

[Ritchie]

Ooh i like!
If you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay?
Im after a cheapish car because every thime i go near the 335 it hits me on the head with my wallet and runs off with it.
I was fancying one of these.
Not 3.5 obviously.

[Gortour]

Yeah, will make a good M30 donor for an E30, Spook.
Good buy mate...

[spook]

2.8 wrongness by the look of it mate!

[Ziggy]

Pukka old skool pimp chariot.

[spook]

im not allowed to play about with this gordon, keeeps the bird happy and more beer time for me

[Gortour]

what do you think i paid,

I'd guess at £350 - £400
No offence, the 5's don't seem to hold value like the 3's.

I wouldnt like to say, i cant keep track of values, some go for pennys, others go through the roof.
It looks tidy though! Good colour too.

It's still an M30 though mate, I had an E28 528i years ago, and it was QUICK.
Not a 3.5 I know, but would still sit well in my 318 Touring... hint hint...

Yeah, maybe im being a bit hasty, ive never actually driven anything with a 2.8 M30 but i bet it would bw a torquey beast.

[essexboy]

nice looking motor dude with a little fettle it could be a real smart motor

NO GORDON keep the 4 pot rightness, you keep gettin funny ideas about putting too many cylinders in that poor tourer lol

[Gortour]

Torquey over about 2.5k RPM, mine was anyway.
F*ck all until then... Had a few scarey moments nailing it from standstill into smallish gaps... nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, SH*T...
Mine had the 3-speed auto (early X reg), at 40mph, hitting kickdown put it into 1st gear and put you in the boot. Brilliant fun.

Yours manual is it Spook? Guess you'd not go for auto but I may be wrong...

[Gortour]

Fear not Lee. If I do put another lump in, it will be an M60 3.0 V8...
Always fancied a V8...

[Gortour]

Hey Spook, did you know that car has a Southampton registration on it...?

(Don't panic, I'm only kidding. EL is a Bournemouth plate... Honest... )

[spook]

but it has a red stripe on it

[spook]

one more, i quickly took the ariel out as it wouldnt go down, my missus is covering the hole with tape

[jam172]

Well a few mods later







Got my approval that's for sure

[spook]

luvverllyy jams

[bss325i]

Very love e28's!

[cliffybabe]

i love chrome

[Kos]

2 mods requierd

deck it and deeeeeeeeep dish alloys, this was one of dips cars

[Andyboy]

528i's are okay but really don't suit an auto as they only really come alive over 3000 rpm. That looks like a sweet car. It needs a 30mm drop and the red stripe removing. The TRX's are evil in the wet so go easy!

[B7]

How sexy is that? I reckon the 28's get more appealing the older they get.

[exup]

E28
ARE UNDER RATED IMHO

i ve had 3 525e, and kept the best one as my daily london runner it glides over the humps , q in traffic all day and returns 25 to 28 mpg , when it rusts away it will live on in e30
always on the look out for e28s

[whipsey]

my mate's got one sitting in is garage

[spook]

cheers lads, when my e30s sorted i will start on this baby, that red stripes gotta go, the wheels as well and a small drop is in order, other than that i will keeep it standard, not sure which wheels to put on it thou, im gettting to like the chrome as well, dips car looks sweet, cheers lads looks like i made a good choice

[pnd]

e28's are getting more popular and ergo more expensive and its easy to see why; they look great. The handling on them needs sorting though. A 528 is a nice quick car with a manual box. I would love one but the days of real bargains are coming to an end.

"Tell me more, tell me more "

[sonnyjh]

Love the car Spook, been thinking about getting one my self!

Thats Dips has got great taste / style
thats looks so right , and the wheels suit it so well ,
what model was it ( go on say it WAs AN m5 )

[darkchild]

Agree with you there. They've gone past that stage of looking just plain old fashioned and now look a very classy old skool motor. They're just so well proportioned. There's a mint 525e running round Norwich at the moment that looks just lovely. A nice one is a real head turner.

[spook]

took it for a little spin today, its as smooth as you like, i felt like lord of the manor driving it, its even got an obc and a full toolkit, i can feel some deep dish rims coming on pretty swift, i just love cars with four headlights, iknow some early bmws look cooler but they are out of my price range, thanks for the comments lads
