I will give you 7 bags for that.

Snide Twenties will be easy to get rid of up North.

What a fine turd

Now this looks a VERY straight 528i. 3 speed Auto and TRX's but I wouldn't change a thing.

it's not mine Chris, i just did an appraisal for the buyer,

would love to own it, she drives superb, but i am a northern peasant and can only afford to run a 528i

ouch, that will be a pricey day!

Andy - yeah, I noticed those. Pointed them out to the OP on this thread in fact, but he's set on a 535. I could be tempted by the blue one. Wonder how the seller came to be hanging onto two nice e28s?

no way ? that was you bidding last minute as well... it was at £510 i put in a bid of £550 at 30 secs and it went up so i chucked in £600 at like 5 seconds :lol:

sorry mate,

i was watching this one for a few days, i even rang the guy and found a bit of info on it, should be good for a mini summer project after uni's over, hopefully its not rusted !

Mon May 09, 2011 11:26 pm

A half decent dogleg will get £500 easy, a known good one a bit more, so you're OK there.

Mon May 09, 2011 11:30 pm

i was kinda glad i got outbid, it's £200 away and I have bought more scrap since that bid !
the seller seems like a decent chap I had a chat with him on the blower,

get some pics up when you collect.. I do hope it's not a minter

sorted out the turd with some new boots today, refurbed Hartgee's with Toyo's

My E28 Fetish is really growing

Sat May 14, 2011 10:09 am

Looks spot on Steve.

Sat May 14, 2011 10:59 am

looks good, i take it your a slight e28 expert... does a m535 usually come with a 160mph speedo? my dad said it should be standard 140...

Sat May 14, 2011 4:55 pm

Nope 160 Mph speedo, you can just about see mine here...

Lots of shiny council activity going on ! Were you a magpie in a previous life Mark ?

Sat May 14, 2011 7:01 pm

I know you like a bit of bling Pete, I am considering toning it back down again. However the council storm gearknob does help with the gearchange with the short shift.

That's a great name for a range of dubious accessories. 'COUNCIL STORM' - only from Halfords.

'My E46 318i got caught in a council storm last night. Now all I need is a bit of ink to match'.

"Council Storm" you never know it may catch on... :lol:
