Brian's 1988 Bmw 535I E28

[Brian.]

Alot's happened in the last month and a half, I quit both my jobs at the bank and Waste Management. Moved 100 miles, back home. Broke up with my girlfriend of 2 years. yada yada.

Not alot's happened to the BMW, I cut the rear fenders for more clearance/low. Fronts got shaved and pulled.

Went to DIV (Dubs in the Valley) in Oshkosh Wisconsin, had a BLAST!


I made the stupid comment after shaving and pulling the fronts of, "I hope someone cuts themselves on those fenders. Guess what, it happened, but it was my hand. Cut a ton of nerves, and have a huge dead spot in my hand. OH WELL.


After having the BBS Style 19's for a few months, I finally got unlazy. And took them off. Was getting sick of seeing the chipped clear coat, and corrosion+ rusty hardware....




These are never going to look perfect again. They got pitted badly. But for what I had in mind, they'd work again.


threw on aircraft stripper, and stood back.

As I went through whole thread there was something missing and now I know what it was... the wheeeels great car mate... love it

Just wait. It's about to get a whole lot better.

The car looks good with 17's on, they just need to have the lips fully redone, which I plan on doing shortly. Other then that fitment is on point.

So since last update, while we're in there. More exhaust work! :3



Assembly


--No pictures of how it looks now, but she's all wrinkle coated. Looks nice. She runs good.

I picked up a set of style 19's for a good price, the clear is fucked, and the hardware is rusty. But for the price I can't complain. will be redoing them soon enough.

[Brian.]

updates coming. This thing runs like a top, and I got 2 piece wheels.

[Brian.]

Headgasket comes in tomorrow, then starts the process of assembly. Also going to wrinkle coat the intake manifold, and the valve cover, as mine looks like shit.


finally got rid of my clutch fan that didn't work!

[Brian.]

Head gasket's taking a poop. 210Kish miles on the OEM original. So I ordered a new one from Guten. went with a thin head gasket.

Also, this happened.

I like the sound man! BMW with chest hair. SOHC-i6 engines are meant for exhaust notes like that! My w124 sounds quite the same, only a little bit quieter

Mines pretty loud. But at highway speed it's quiet as a prius. Kinda weird. But I like it. considering the old exhaust setup was pretty loud on the highway.

I like it. Its decently ignorant.

[MartinsElerts]

everyone nags about exhaust videos an what not. no one comments afterwards. God this site is so ass backwards.

It's like an unwritten rule, if it doesn't have $5K rims and an insane bag setup, it ain't worth commenting on. Come on trolls.

Another way to attract comments would be to have long hair and no idea how to fix cars like floatingdino

I like the no front bumper look, I wish it would be legal in my country.
