Brian's 1988 Bmw 535I E28

[Brian.]

On a different stroke. I went out into the brutal Wisconsin winter weather, like a traditional wisconsinite!
Actually not that bad. it's like 40 out. so it's not terrible.

This is what the air dam looks like half ass mounted on for a test fit.




As you can tell, the lower rear valence will require some modifiying to full fit/look good. But I think it looks decent.

Opinions?

Few and far between around Birmingham, I could always check Atlanta or Nashville but it'd be hard to find someone wanting to trade a z32 for one.

picture? I'd totally trade for a Z32!

The Hartge air dam is sick for sure, wish I could picture it on the e28.

And scrolling through this now has me kicking myself for selling my e30 and wanting another old bimm. :/

Thanks man. going to, "test fit" it today.. See how much I like it.

And get another!

Very true they did.

^My thoughts exactly. M535i here in the states was M30 powered.
An that's sad to hear about E28's over there. mine is mint. Only a rusty fender and spot on the door. other then that my E28 is super clean!

BMW never brought M535i's over to the States. the only ones that are over here are gray market imported ones. The U.S. got 535is instead of the M535is. Cool e28 btw. I want a manual 535is so bad.

Got potential buddy and many read but dont post.
My project threads the same

Thanks BRAH. Fuck build threads. Evidently theres to many E28 bandwagoneers.

For what it's worth M88 came in the M5 and M635i. M535i's got the old M30 SOHC. That's how it is over in Europe anyway. Nice car dude, I really want an E28 but finding one that doesn't crumble down the road from rust is getting pretty hard in the UK

Ya'll fuckin' kill me.

Forgot to include, this is what it looks like on an E30:


Looks schnazzy eh? Wait till it's on the E28. or for sale. Either or.

[Brian.]

Since no one reads this, I'll continue to post about random nonsense.


I happened to score a really hard to find, Hartge Front air dam off a Hartge H26 E30. Evidently they fit E28's quite well. came off the previous owners E28, he bought it like that. Didn't know anythingn about it. I bought it for an undisclosed amount.

[Brian.]

Getting my air dam tomorrow!

[Brian.]

Bit of an update. My good friend, and fellow S|W member Earl, might have helped me find my next set of rims for the E28.

And I also might be picking up a front air dam for next to nothing today! Fingers crossed!
