That looks awesome! Do you have any plans for it or are you going to be keeping it as is (except the wheels and sorting the 'box out i assume)?

Post Sat Aug 22, 2009 4:30 pm

Its only going have a manual box fitted and a change of wheels.
I am going to use it at weekends and shows .

Thats is nice. 2.8 seems to be plenty quick.

In reply to your question on the '5 site, I don't think you can get those phones to work anymore, they use old technology which has been phased out now, so short of robbing the guts of a modern car phone I think it's just an ornament

Lovely car though, got a soft spot for the e28, it looks really cool

Nice car that. Love an unmolested e28 without and kit. That front spoiler I think is aftermarket, poss reiger????

Got any more photos?

Yea, another e28 owner, Nice one Ed.

thats fecking awsome

just needs a proper m30 in there (3.5)

them old phones run on an analoge network which no longer exsits, so you cannot get them to work

The wheels came today

Thats is one very nice looking E28!

The wheels will make it look even better!

Have to be honest though, the front valance is letting it down imo!

Post Tue Aug 25, 2009 11:00 pm

front valance looks good, pefeiba jobby or what ever there called

Post Tue Aug 25, 2009 11:00 pm

The valance is a proper BMW one and its been on the car from new so it will be staying.
I want to keep the car as org as possible or use parts like the wheels that you could buy in the 80's

Those wheels look amazing! They'll really suit the 5..

The spoiler is an original BMW part fitted to early E28s as an option...
I had a 525i with a similar spoiler and that was on the original options list..

My brother had a camo green 528i, but a black E28 looks much better in standard form.

The 2.8's are a juicy lump... I think the M30 has better fuel consumption that this engine. I want to get one and do a M52 swap, I think that engine will be perfect for this tank of a car, but my g/f won't let me I have to save up for a mortgage!

Get the alloys on and post some pics... you going to lower it as well?

The 2.8 is an M30

Can go very well too, E28s are not that heavy either really.

Very very nice mate. Should look spot on with the black cross spokes.

What he said (M30B28), this is the donk Hartge put in my H28, albeit modified to 210bhp. It is still a thirsty fecker though

I was referring to 3.5 M30, rather than the 2.8 M30

That looks mint fella awesome rims to

Post Thu Aug 27, 2009 12:37 pm

Nice looking E28!

There are ways to make the car phone work, but its very tricky.
