im really tempted by this, i really like these. was torn between e30s and e28s when i bought my e30 touring.
this looks so cool!
395? thats nowt! is it?
manuals are rare in these? do these have an lsd?

Post Fri Aug 17, 2007 11:05 pm

I'm personally not a fan of these. To me it seems very dated and not as desirable as the E30s which still seem to look great all these years later. However, she does seem to be in good nick, and at that price, 'sounds' like a bargain. Or you could spend that money on your touring?

So not e30 chat.

I bet it will go up a bit more. Don't people usually put chrome arches on the cover rust up?

Evil eye?!

Or is it just the numbers on the temperature guage, I can't see any buttons.

Post Fri Aug 17, 2007 11:27 pm

you only got the numbers on the temp guage if climate was fitted so i understand

Post Fri Aug 17, 2007 11:32 pm

I had a 318is that had numbers, got excited. Then noticed there were no buttons

No it doesn't make sense!

Post Fri Aug 17, 2007 11:36 pm

only aircon has buttons! they are 2 different things. All climate does is keep the temp constant, but it wont blow ice cold in the summer.

It's good because in an E30 your either too hot or cold particulary in the winter. Climate solves this!

Not a nice colour for an E28 IMO, Black is one of the best colours.

Interior is horrible

I like E28's, but not in that flavour.

Post Fri Aug 17, 2007 11:43 pm

oops

did I sell a 318is cheap because I didn't realise it had climate control? It would still need A/C compressor / bigger rad etc etc though wouldn't it? (that 318is didn't)

Slightly of topic... but more on e30 chat now!

i really like the dated look tho, the classic shark nose so...... i dont know.....

i know its not an e30 but i wanted to chew it over with you critical folk first....

so does it have an lsd??

Post Fri Aug 17, 2007 11:53 pm

No you don't need any of that A/C compressor lark!

I've got climate in my touring it's just a few little different things to a normal box! Just as easy to fit as swopping a normal heater box over.

Post Fri Aug 17, 2007 11:57 pm

My dad had one of these, years ago...plenty of grunt and i liked the whole sharknose thing too and still do!

Not sure about the colour, but besides that, lovely motor.

ive no prob with colour, my touring is lachs silver. but the blue bottom half of the interior is a little repulsive!

Post Sat Aug 18, 2007 8:39 am

Definitely looks worth a punt. IMHO the E28 is a fantastic looking car, past the stage of looking plain old and starting to look very retro cool. I quite like the colour but a bit of shadowline really helps these look better (Dolphin Grey with shadowline is lovely). Good spec and manual box but its got to lose those arches!

Lovely cars to smoke around in. Great fun when traction desists too. There's a chap on here called Jamie who has a 528 with plenty of work done and some genuine alpina rims. Amazing looking car. Cannot remember the bhp for these bad boys but his was higher again. I'm sure you'd find a thread on it in 'Other BMW Chat'

I fooking hate chrome arches though. No excuses. If that really is a straight car with no major issues (can't be arsed to read the ad), it may go for about Ã‚£700.

Post Sat Aug 18, 2007 10:38 am

looks worth a bid go for it!!

Post Sat Aug 18, 2007 4:11 pm

the truth is i will not be happy till i have an manual m-tec 635 csi. trouble is the worlds oil supply will be all gone before i have enough surplus cash to get one!!

Post Sat Aug 18, 2007 7:48 pm

diddnt bid on it. (pussyed out) too far away in kent anyway..... went for Ã‚£405.... what a car for that miniscule amount of money!

Post Mon Aug 20, 2007 1:25 pm

That would be me then, got 2 E28's both with aircon (Too old for Climate) if there is no blue ice button it ain't got aircon. A standard 528i has 184BHP, and my M5 has 286 BHP both have mods but neither have been on a RR yet, 528i is booked to do a run 15th Sept, so i'll keep you posted.

Oh yes i now have a full on power E30 316i Touring

, see you sometime Nathan.
