Long time lurker from Chicago with e28

[2brown4u]

Howdy guys been lurking here for a while finally decide to share my new ride.
Needed a daily my truck sucks gas so picked up this gem for 900 with a free tow only need a starter. For now it has a ghetto low (cut springs) saving for coilovers.


searched craigslist for a while and found these

Got these for a steal 80 bucks for all four!
Thanks for your time guys looking foward to reading your comments good or bad!

Have You tried those wheels on the car?

[2brown4u]

No not yet if for some reason they Dont fit I'll make them fit lol

Subb'd. Bronzit FTW

They'll fit, most likely 17x8 ET20 same as Style 5s. Will need some spacers to flush it out

Nice, ive been considering an E28 for quite some time now but ive always been iffy about the gas mileage and the reliability and parts availability....

I wanna either get one of these, mercedes 190e, or volvo brick

How did you manage style 19's for $80? =O I must have missed that=( I'm up in milwaukee. E28 looks damn clean for $900. Good Job. Can't wait to see more. You will need a tiny hubcentric ring by the way=D

Thanks the car came out to be pretty dam good it had alot of service records and just some rust but nothing that can't be fixed.
Well the wheels up for sale for a week before i bought them i just guess no one noticed them or realized what they where.

Actual the gas mileage isn't that bad just about 20-22mpg that way better than I was getting on my truck(14-16 mpg). I haven't had any problems finding parts and there fairly inexpensive. I have had a 190e before and its a good car and all but i'd always pick the e28 over it. The Volvo on the other hand I have no experience with but I have also had soft spot for them there pretty cool especially that big 240 wagons.

I didnt think it was that bad.. You say parts are fairly cheap and easy to find? I just want a older european dd lol

[niquemarshall]

Mechanical parts and suspension parts available and body parts idk you would just have to junk yard hop. Manuals are harder to fine this is a auto and the two I had before where auto.

I daily my e28 528e and it was well over 300k on it. Only thing that is broken is the odometer.
