New Toy.

Post Thu Dec 01, 2011 4:31 pm

E28 528i 1985. M30 180bhp. 102K miles, M-Tech suspension and interior (both of which will be swapped into the silver 528i which has Comfort Tan leather and std suspension) eventually, but huge history and even all the old mot's are laminated (talk about anal).
Drives great! I was supposed to sell the green touring first but hey ho.......I won't tell the wife

This.

Silver on tan is not a great combo imo.

I bought it basically as a spares car for the silver (a partners cars) one which has tan comfort leather, so at the end of the day both the cars will look almost the same anyway, just a swap between comfort and sport seats really. I'm also fitting the 17" bbs splits from the silver car onto here so will swap the springs and dampers over too. It just so turns out that it's a decent car but as I said...the only visible difference will be the actual shape of the seats as they are both tan leather anyway.

Nice E28..

What is that stack light Merc lurking in the background in the last pic?

Iv got a hankering for a early W114 280ce, but finding one as a nice base project would be the problem...

It is a 280CE. 1973 model. It's a runner but needs a bit of recomissioning. Only has 59K miles on it as well.

Lovely looking car. Not many standard looking E28's left these days. Is it a manual or Auto?

Post Fri Dec 02, 2011 5:00 pm

Auto unfortunately, but as a cruiser it's fine being a slushbox.

Looks lovely. Bring it round my place and I'll hide it in garage from your wife........obviously i'll visit nightly with pint in hand and tinker!

You know me too well by now Rav. Was almost burgundy when I got it in.

Still two more mops and a bit of blending on some panels to go though.

Great looker. Really nice to drive too.

A friend of mine had a silver 528i manual, he lost his licence and I ended up being his driver the next 6 months. good times, I was 19.
