This will not be a "build" thread like my last one, were i fixed the front of my old blue e36, and so on. But more of a maintenance thread, where i replace worn out things, and will not do anything crazy.
So to start this of, i have wanted a four door car for a bit of time. And being really sick and tired of e36's, they were out, e34 / e39 are really hard to come by in decent condition and not being diesel and automatic. so they were out. e38's well only three of them in Faroe Island, and cost way to much for me, so they are also out. And i don't like e46's.
I always wanted a e28, and since there are no e28's here at all. The best option for me was to import one, because when the car is 25+ years there are a lot of fees that i don't have to pay. I searched for a long time, and stumbled upon a burgundrot 525i, and i wanted the car. Lucky for me, i had a contact in Germany that would pickup the car, get all the documents and drop of the car in Denmark, so it could be transporter via a ferry to Faroe Island.
Specs on the car, its lowered by AP springs, and unknown to me shocks. some 16x9 remotec, 215/40-16. Got manual windows and sunroof, original tape player (will not be replaced, i love it.) and it got the "euro" stuff, like bumpers, lights and so on.
Well enough talking, here are the pictures that i got of it at the moment.
Oh and i still have these.
Anyways, today i checked the car for mechanical faults. Right rear bearing is shot, exhaust hangers need to be replaced, oil pan got a tiny leak because of scraping. and left rear window wont go down all the way, that's pretty much it. I also test fitted the ACS with some 235/45, seems i will have to get my hands on something narrower, oh and i want bigger lips for the front. But all in due time. 29/6-12 is time for the car to the inspection hall and see if i can get some plates on it and make it legal. Got no camera at the moment, so no pictures.
