Remarkable looking 535. Curious if you have a buyer for the car, and if not how much do expect to offer it at?

Thank you! I don't have a buyer as of yet, and I won't be able to disclose a price until I add up everything I had to put into it. But...I will be all done with that by March 16th, so after that I will have a price and complete photos.

This was special when it rolled into your shop, now it's just plain incredible!

I can't believe the way that paint still shines, and the French highs are a nice touch with the Alpinweiss too. You've done this once or twice before, huh?

I was in LA for a couple of days this week and Ron was nice enough to give me a tour of the shop and I got to see this car. Car looks incredible and will truly be one of the nicest e28's on the planet when he is done with.

Also saw he e34 he has for sale... where the hell do you find these cars? That one is sweet as well and looks fantastic!

See you in June Ron....

Thanks, Karl! Yes I have done this before...just once a long time ago

Thank you so much for coming by the shop, Michael! It was great to meet you in person. Thank you for the kind words.

wow. gorgeous. are you doing the seats in red?

RonP · Post by **RonP** » Mar 12, 2013 8:34 AM

Yes, all in red just like the M5. The front seats are the old school Recaros with the electric adjustments in the thigh bolster. The wheels are a custom finish, three stage dark grey centered BBS RS with red center caps. They are 16x8&9 with high polish lips.

Well, I was able to get the car done enough to take to the festivities at St Paddy's Day. I will have final pics up by the end of the week and if my buyer flakes, I will have a price posted as well.

Wow. Wow. Wow. What an interior.

I'm curious what doing that kind of interior costs. Just ballpark.

Ron,

When you do your euro-bumper conversions, do you buy new parts from Germany?

GaAlpinaOwner · Post by **GaAlpinaOwner** » Mar 23, 2013 3:35 PM

Wow that interior is too SEXY!!!!
Ron she is lookin good man.....

snakebrain · Post by **snakebrain** » Mar 24, 2013 4:39 PM

Do not like. The interior is crass, the wheels are gangsta and the look is cheap'n'nasty. A potentially great car ruined.

Tell us what you really think?

cddallara · Post by **cddallara** » Mar 24, 2013 5:40 PM

I have no room to talk with my rattle can paint, but the interior is too much for me.
Hopefully the camera/lighting is making it brighter than it really is?
I can appreciate the effort, and the workmanship looks great, just the color I can't get behind...

Well, it's also clean as hell and I'm sure it's in immaculate mechanical condition and so on, but imo it's crossed the line between OEM+ and tasteless modification.

Yours looks great, just enough to make it look mean without going into boy racer terrain..

RonP · Post by **RonP** » Mar 24, 2013 6:46 PM

There will always be haters, so I am not offended, but 16" BBS gangsta? Really? Now that is a first to me. What I find tasteless is anyone on this forum slamming another members car, we all have different tastes, but share one common denominator...e28s. Ridiculing somone elses e28 is tasteless, rude, and shows no class what so ever!

Bro - you asked for it.

The red it too much. Too bright. You ruined a great interior...Fortunately, that can all be undone. Otherwise, nice work.

That is my opinion - take it or leave it...but again, you asked for our thoughts.

Ash
