The white one was up for, I think, 8 grand a while back with the tagline 'the best E28 in the UK'!!

Nice ones are getting extremely thin on the ground these days..

I don't see whats up with the Black one,looks pretty cool to me.

Post Wed Apr 17, 2013 9:26 pm

It's slammed with a sub in the boot - enough to put me off!

lowered with SPAX suspension
2 huge 2000 watt "in phase" subs in the boot
2 powerful amps, 1 kenwood & 1 Twister TW 1500 watt
1 massive digital power cap

Is something going in that empty space?

Post Wed Apr 17, 2013 10:06 pm

Im afraid not

Post Wed Apr 17, 2013 10:09 pm

I'm starting to seriously look for a good 528i at the moment - easier said than done!

More or less resigned myself to it being auto apart from anything else..

Post Wed Apr 17, 2013 10:16 pm

That was a manual.i have a good pedal box

Post Wed Apr 17, 2013 10:20 pm

That thought had crossed my mind... There's a promising looking specimen in proper Jewish Racing Gold just down the road from me that would only need a manual box and maybe some tupperware/shadowlining to be really quite nice. But I'm saving that for once I'm very sure it's not going to throw any curveballs at me..

Noticed that one earlier - white isn't my favourite colour but it's more about finding a solid/issue free car really. There's also a Zinnober red 518i on ebay that's quite nice..

The state of the ad worries me a little, but hopefully he's just illiterate and not an equal mong about looking after the car. I have the important bits of a beige interior ready to put in. Think blue over beige would work very nicely..

What's yours? Did you get the black with taurus one pacer had a while back?

Post Thu Apr 18, 2013 2:13 pm

It's wasted on you!!

I like the rimz on the black one. It belonged to a chap on BMW5, and was at Uxbridge a couple of years back.

Post Thu Apr 18, 2013 9:27 pm

Snakebrain I know of a very nice original Northern Ireland car (GXI) 528i manual in fab condition.....

if youre still talking to me.....

I most certainly am - was chatting to bab91 about you the other day in fact! Is it an '85 on a GXI? Spill the beans!

Id be tempted to go down the m535 route. Simply for future resale.

More desirable surely? and not to mention more thuggish

or something to waft about in. How about an executive 7 series with 18,000 miles this side of the water?

I think both are pretty good, must be the council blood in me........

... what puts me off is the write up/description, but hey... thats just me.

Post Mon Apr 22, 2013 8:42 pm

That 23 has been for sale for an age.....

Post Mon Apr 22, 2013 8:48 pm

Well it could be the same story as that e24 Sskoda's mate picked up.

No one called to see it.

They don't have the same following as e30's and other marques.

Seems like a nice old barge.

Post Mon Apr 22, 2013 9:23 pm

This one's also nice..

I've been having noctural emissions about E12s lately too!

Post Mon Apr 22, 2013 9:26 pm

Nice colour and engine makes it a more sensible daily!

Post Mon Apr 22, 2013 9:28 pm

5 grand would buy a god-fearing e28!

Post Mon Apr 22, 2013 9:29 pm

5 grand would buy a fearless e30 & its exhaust is in the right place!

Think about it. Buy a chromie for 1k and plenty of change to play with.

Yeah, it's been on the block for a good while. You'd think the price was ok for a legit 18k car..

The E28s worth 5 grand for the exclusivity of centremount exhausts all day long. Pleb.

Post Mon Apr 22, 2013 9:37 pm

ITS NOT IN THE CENTRE! Its off centre! Gah.

You bourgeoisie pig!

Post Mon Apr 22, 2013 9:38 pm

Right of centre to be precise. Bloody Commie.
