Brian's 1988 Bmw 535I E28

[Brian.]

Hey guys, haven't posted in quite a while. Got caught up in life. Something I've never experienced.

So I'll get everyone up to speed here.

I decided after a few months that I wanted to ditch my HID fogs, so i started taking them off, about half way through taking off the fogs, I said screw it. Ended up taking off the entire front bumper. I love it. So it's staying like this.For awhile I had issues with where to relocate the blinkers, so I ended up stealthing them behind the grill. Didn't realize others had done this too!




Few months ago Wibimmers.com held a little gathering here:



LS swapped burnouts.


This was early in the day. Held at the BMW house.





There was a ton of us. Screaming through the Kettle Moraine twisties.

Fast forward a month or so later, I went back to Milwaukee to pick up more BMW stuff

I ended up selling my tan interior (power comfort seats) for some Black euro interior. My tan interior was actually mint. Especially for 200K miles. No tears/marks etc. The only thing that looked bad was the carpet, which wasn't an issue for me. But the seats/door cards were immaculate.

Only reason I decided to go for the euro black interior is cause, well it's euro. And black. And in good condition.

Here's a few of the tan interior:





About all I had of the interior that were good shots.

I have none of the black interior yet, but those will go here:



This is my car packed with almost 2 full interiors.


3 front seats, 2 carpets, back seats, door cards, and a full set of 16" rims and tires. Everything fit, surprisingly. Was cramped, but I made due with the drive from Milwaukee, back to Madison.

Got my car up on a lift at BMW Concours in Milwaukee while I was there too. Seems my oil pan is taking a bit more of a beating then I realized. Kinda amazed it didn't explode yet!


Here's a few new photo's to keep the picture hungry people, like me fed!

My winter setup 16x7 +47 offset steelies (the offset sucks, I had to buy spacers to get them to fit)



Got my winter wheels on just in time, guess what, it snowed a little yesterday!

Uhm. Decent I guess, E28's are terrible in snow to begin with. So I guess, like crap. Haha.

Need a name? Thunder McQueen!

Haha, when I down shift it might sound like thunder. But she's no queen. She's my dirty daily. 205K miles of hell. Take it past redline more often then I probably should. But it keeps her young at heart.

Betty. We've already got one car with the name Patty! I like the Bronzeitbeigemetalik. No one in the BMW world does. Dunno why. My E28 pulls it off well. I'm hoping to have the car resprayed+ on new rims buy summer of 2013. If we survive this alpacalypse.

What's up Brian!!!

Where was the Wibimmers gather held at? Looks like an awesome place for pic's and I seen you said there were some twisties at Kettle Moraine. I wish we had some cool places near us to go drive around at. But I guess Cross Plains has some small mountain that can be fun, but that was with Andy going balls out 70mph around 30mph corners/drop offs lmao.

Haha, the Wibimmers meet was held in Colgate (north west of Milwaukee/Menomenee Falls)

We have Mt. Horeb, which apparently has some good roads, but I haven't been out there. But I will soon enough.

I think "Smiles" would be an proper name.

I'm starting to see all these faces you guys are seeing. Haha

We should get a small group to cruise out there! Oh also let me know whenever you go drive around somewhere! I'm always do to cruise! I just may have to wind the coils up some before we go to a place unfamiliar haha.
