  • 84 533i

    It all started out with me getting bored with my Scion. I went to Classic Vdubs here in Vegas looking for an old VW. The owner told me he had an old BMW if i wanted to check it out. Wasnt really in a big hurry to pick it up and kind of wanted to wait for an old dub so i told him i would let him know. a couple months go by and he gives me a call, says he needs money pretty badly and would sell it to me for $600. He dropped it off at my house that night. and this is how my Big Money Waste started.

    Pic from his craigslist post


    Sitting in front of my house


    cut the springs and did a little shoot with some friends






    I ended up getting the whole exhaust reworked to tuck up closer to the body, pulled the resonator out, and installed a magnaflow muffler.

    found a set of chrome door handles


    fixed a fuel leak in the lines


    cut the springs more and installed a 535is spoiler, added 25mil spacers in the rear




    before tire was completely bolted on


    uninstalled my front bumper, added jaguar tables to the back of the front seats, stripped off the window tint




    summer hit and my car kept overheating to the point it would die.


    replaced the whole cooling system with the problem still there after

    installed a Saab moonroof


    ended up with a leak in the gas tank. got that welded.


    wasnt really paying attention one night and smashed the pan hard.



    tried to fix it but didnt last long. hit a rock and the jb weld fell apart. took it to a friend and had it welded and did a coat of jb weld over that. and installed a custom skid plate






    drove down a road i was unfamiliar with and smashed the pan for a third time. skid plate was pointless. pulled a new pan from the yard and ditched that stupid skid plate.



    installed a chrome bbs rz to replace my alloy


    installed euro rear headrests, E34 projectors, HID's, and style 32's, and BBS steering wheel





    found a cardinal interior at the junkyard and pulled it with a quickness


    dyed my carpets black and installed the interior



    bought new badges and installed euro heads




    replaced both fuel pumps and overheating issue is gone. the fuel pump was overheating and cutting out. causing my car to die.

    installed new half shafts and rolled the fenders a bit more, and cut the rear springs



    blow out resulted in buying all new tires. decided to go with 205/40/17's all around



    painted the sail panels with a lace design


    purchased a set of E28 M5 4 pot calipers, stainless steel lines, drilled slotted rotors for the front, drilled rotors for the rear, and new pads for front and rear.



    friend did this shoot and i finally decided to fix my faded ass paint. fixed some dents, and painted it stock delphin from the body line up with a matte clear. also shaved the antenna hole





    rolled out to slammed society vegas. took home best oldskool.





    snap ring on the output shaft of my diff broke causing the output shaft to fall in and out of the diff while driving. diff ended up with metal chunks inside it as well so i swapped for a 3.46 diff.



    powdercoated the brake calipers STI gold and installed cross drilled slotted front rotors, cross drilled rear rotors, pagid pads, and SS lines.


    as of now this is where im at. gotta get my car shot again for an update of how she is sitting

            mmm, you just need euro bumpers and some wide wheels to really set that car off.

                Very nice E28 you've got there, like the transformation.
                What is this "Back To The Future" kind of device on your dash?

                I imagine you can set date & time and then hit 88mph?
