detailing this tomorrow

[ali50ferrari]

1987 e28 m535i with a genuine 47k on the clock, and it has like 3 owners inc the plate on it, its my uncles car he brought it in 91 and kept it ever since, it literally sat for so long and rotted where it wasnt stored properly and now its been brought back to life with lots of new nuts and bolts respray more or less a full rebuild except the lump which has been given a good service and clean up internally, when it starts it sounds soooo sweet!







will get loads of pics tomorrow it is a really nice car

[Rav335uk]

M30 Poooowwwaaaaaa

[ali50ferrari]

lol thats right rav the anchor express! this is a manual dogleg box should have some power in it, you know what surprises me so much is how sweet the engine runs even though it has mechanical tappets like they can be adjusted it sounds so sweet it literally humms on idle. . . .

[sunnyr83]

One of them is in my top 5 for sure, my old mechanic had a White 1 and wanted one ever since, gotta drive past 1 everyday on my road which doesn't help. So you do detailing Ali??

[ali50ferrari]

White one in old Southall with loads of ICE, belonged to that BMW specialist??

[sunnyr83]

Yeah alkash down featherstone road, he sold it on to someone who put M strips on the bonnet and other changes!!

The ice in that was bangin!

[Ajsingh]

Theres one in hayes too sunny.. Its lowered but its an M5!

I love e28s.... Shoehorn/sharknose

[sunnyr83]

AJ i think that's the one im talking about, has it got M strips on the bonnet?? He did sell to a Hayes lad.

Can't remember but think his was a m5 on a D plate.

[ali50ferrari]

this is the predecessor of an m5 this has the dressings but not as much oomph but never the less a nice classic

[Low_E30]

Like you said Sunny, I think the one from Old southall (Alkesh), ended up in Hayes, with the addition of the m-tech stripes....

Iv seen it at that garage on North Hide Lane quite abit (opposite the vic pub), so maybe the new owner works at a garage as well...

They are lovely cars, Polaris Silver rocks for me.....

[bmw9818]

thats nice! 47k miles yeah,

this is my project 97k 2 owners, engine is sweeeet, should be good for next summer, providing rust is minimal!

[sunnyr83]

^^ is that Alkashs old one??

[bmw9818]

bought this a few months back around april,

[sunnyr83]

Where abouts in London you at mate, whats the plans for it then..

Ali sorry bro weve taken over your thread lol

[oomz1975]

I have a fetish for these e28s too

[bmw9818]

south london croydon area, mainly a random buy! saw it 20 minutes before it ended, pretty risky, coudve just broken it down for parts anyhow, but didnt have the heart to do that to it!

i fired it up after a check up, started up straight sounded spot on ! it surprised me, now im just looking for bits and peices, collecting them until the weather straightens out again, then i can just bang it all out, sort out rust and wax oyl,

might sell it mid-summer after ive had some fun! on the lookout for the old 3.0 csl batmobiles !

[ali50ferrari]

lol no problem its cool iv been hijacked! i will get some more pics of this after a good clean tomorrow! i had a polaris silver one aswell

[e30topless]

wasn't the white M535i for sale a bit back ?

[ali50ferrari]

lmaooo i never done that! i knew that would be mentioned, which white one, my uncles, the one at the top definitely not man it lives in his garage hes had it since 91 he would never sell that

[BenHar]

There seems to be some nice "detail" round the letters.

Ben

[ali50ferrari]

not really mate the letters are damaged so didnt want to break them any further

[BenHar]

True dedication would have called for the cotton buds.

Ben

[ali50ferrari]

and broke the sign aswell, mate i wouldnt have left it like that after spending most of the day doing it, i started at 9am.

[BenHar]

Ali, I'm on a wind up, sorry.

The cars look great.

Ben
