Slow White, the E28

[cdowns]

I'll be there. You should bring the e28. I organized a classic BMW meet on the Friday of the event. It would be awesome if you came by.

Yeah, sounds good - just let me know on details

Haha thanks guys. Keep an eye out. I've got a lot planned before SOWO and Bfest East. If you guys have E28s and want to make them daily-able just make sure you do all the basic maintenance they'll go until the end of time if you take care of them. Especially M30s

I don't wont to Daily mine - it's got a T4 turbo and at about 12ish lbs of boost (Last guy who owned it said it did 390 to the ground at 14lbs..) But it is a BEAST and extremely reliable.

I plan on TRYING to go to SOWO as I live only an hour away, not sure what car to take! Would love to see the car there.

Your e28 makes me want to daily one. So far I haven't seen a stage of the car that I haven't loved. Keep up the great work

clean e28 - it is cleaner than mine, that is for sure! (though I am going in a slightly different direction than yours)
going to scour your thread for ideas and keep on watch!

Man this thing is so sweet. I'm trying to find something to suggest hahaha.. I have nothing.. Lower the front more? IDK

Haha thanks man I'm really pleased with how my car looks. Just need to get it sitting on something better than cut springs.

I shot a few more pics but don't get excited. I don't have access to a good camera anymore. So here goes.











This is my buddies blog you guys should go check it out. He's a damn good drifter and he's getting ready to put his m50 turbo motor in his e30. Great guy with a lot of talent. He'll be running in streetwise and KMS pro am this year.

Exhaust note is great bud. Love how its stanced.

Thanks man! Gonna be working up a third exhaust soonish.

Been a while since I updated this. Haven't really done anything. Need to change the control arm bushings still. Also gonna need new tires. I knew my front toe was bad but I didn't know it was this bad.

On a good note I got my taurus skirts on. I'm really impressed with how they came out. They make the car look as low as it really is. Before the black made made it look way high on the sides. Another down side with E28s is the frame rail sits well below where the body line is. These solved that problem. It's pretty much dead on now. All I need to do is screw them in on the bottom so I can even the front half of them out. They are currently sagging ever so slightly.

Here are some pics,

Got these this week from Ireland Engineering. They're super nice and they look awesome.



Installed looking like a baller.



Then it iced. It's nasty outside. I got some cool instagram pics.





Not much else. Gonna get my splitter and skirts on soon. Just needs to warm up a bit.

Uhhhh stupid car. I got out and fixed the fender. At a cost. A lot of paint came off. I'm pretty sure the front re-spray was a macco job it chips so bad (and easily) I've got to get some primer on it so it won't rust but I didn't have time. (Halo 4 and overclocking my Alienware all day lol)

Here's how I pulled it out.


It's not going to rub anymore. I pulled it, a lot.





More shots of the damage.





I'm thinking about getting two new fenders. Pre rolling them and then painting them. That solves any issue of cracking paint. I'm also considering, since I have the pin stripes. Pulling them off and replacing them with something like this. And then maybe possibly getting Alpina aero.

Side skirts? Nice! How much if you don't mind me asking? It would be nice for me to cover up the side of my car from where it's been put on jack stands and whatnot. Car is looking cherry by the way, that rear tuck... Bummer bout the fender doe

Dude $16 at a pull apart. There off of a 90s taurus. E30 guys do it all the time. They fit perfectly too. And yeah it sucks. I'm about to go try and pull the fender back out.
