Another E28?!

[87bims]

New here, figured I'd post myE28 that I'm piecing together..

1987 BMW 535IS
212k miles on the body.
M30B34 with ~150k
5 Speed.

When I first got it. April 2012. Forgive me, I had to rip all these pictures off webstagram because my phone got smashed..



Dem Bottlecaps doe.

M-turdy



delivery boy status.



After having the car for about a month on those horrid bottle caps, I took a trip down to the pick and pull and scooped a set of 15" style 5's for $130 with tires.




Poop dollar on the 4th of July




Bumper tuck came next.





And then, the low.







And finally, my personal favorite.



I'm on cut springs.... cut eBay springs that is..

Cut about 1 1/2 off the fronts, and left the rears untouched. Its bouncy as fuck around town, but smooth as butter on the highway. I plan on making/buying a better suspension setup eventually. And I'm still undecided on what wheels I want to run. But I'm sure i'll find some on here. Let me know what you think!

Looks good man. Don't worry about cut springs, I think everyone of us E28 owners roll on cut springs..

I roll with spring cut on my e28. It's super uncomfortable, ill give her a head and back above lol ^ ^
At the front I still have 2 turns, this is the rubber stopper that serve suspension lol
On your car is not uncomfortable?

My cars ride is horrible. The front is stiff as fuck, and the rear is really soft.

Hit up jom if you want cheap coilovers and theres also a couple of people who have built there own coilovers for these cars for cheap. Looks good so far.

What were you expecting? A luxurious ride? For one it's old springs, plus shit struts. That are cut. They could ride worse. I prefer a stiff ride, Just one of those weird things. I **** really soft riding cars.

they make E30 and E34 kits. And the rears aren't like E30's, its spring on a strut assembly.

I just got a E34 kit from them you might be able to fit the e34 kit... they are spring on strut assembly. Where in mass are you from?

I've read up on fitting e34 coils on e28s.. i forget what it is but something is different in the front, and the rears are too long. I'm from Fitchburg. central mass, like 15 minutes south of the new hampshire border.
