So I am here coming from mye28.com and I will be keeping both updated but I've always wanted a stance built e28.
It started out in 2013/2014. I had been making good money I tried to get a e34. Couldnt find those. Now here's how I got it. Drove by it in upstate new york after a hungover brunch with some friends. I wanted a E34 540i but always had a soft spot for the E28 too. The guy I purchased it from had a another 528e in shwartz and cinnamon leather interior, 1990 Zinno 325ix, 1983 Zinno 633CSI fully Euro Converted, TOTAL BMW nut but was retiring and moving to Hawaii after and was liquidating. Wanted $2400, I scooped it for $1000. Titled to my name and I've regretfully let it sit for just over 2.5 years............................. I know I know. It hurts.
The car itself is a 1984 528E. Its got an odometer stuck at 194k. I think its got well into 250k. I have every receipt dating back to the original buy at Keeler BMW in 1984 for $23,000 cash. I'm the fourth owner. It was bought, daily driven, sent to Korman Autoworks for a Car Tech Stage 2 intercooled turbo setup. Blew up three months later and returned for a short block. Also got a Schrick 280 cam, dual titanium valve springs and retainers. Port and polish. Thing is pretty beat up, rusty front floors, need alot of sitting maintenance but still burns through first & second gear without a problem...
I currently have a new continetal timing belt, GRAF water pump, ebay wheel spacers, E38 Basketweaves with good hankook tires, 15w-50 oil and filter. I know it needs these things, has a fully refreshed front suspension, guibo, lots of good stuff. But front floors are on the list, valve adjustment, new gas, maybe new brake components. But this is the year to finish this. I also have to replace my 1998 Chevrolets JUNK 4l60e and wrap up my 2012 VW Passat Daily.
Ideally I would love to fab up some front mount intercooler piping, Maybe a half cage since the floor rigidity is poor, Mega squirt, Proper fuel system, IS front valance, Bumper Tuck, rebuild cluster, and just be able to drive it. Anyone have any input I am very open to it. Tutorials or knowledge would be very appreciated. Especially in what to use for floors and stuff. Thanks for taking the time to read my rambling!

Tahoe looks a little different. But none the less blown up
